Edit Config files
  1. Edit %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Section 8 Prejudice - PC\S9Game\Config\S9Game.ini
  2. Go to section [Engine.PlayerController].
  3. In this section find PawnFOVScale=1.0 and change the multiplier.
  4. Go to section [S9Game.S9PlayerController].
  5. In this section find PawnFOVScale=1.000000 and change the multiplier.
  6. Go to section [S9Game.S9PlayerControllerConquest].
  7. In this section find PawnFOVScale=1.000000 and change the multiplier.
  8. Go to section [S9Game.S9PlayerControllerAssault].
  9. In this section find PawnFOVScale=1.000000 and change the multiplier.
  10. Below are scaling multipliers and FOV values specific to them (FOV - multiplier), change PawnFOVScale=1.000000 to the desired FOV:
  • 60° = 0.857
  • 70° = 1
  • 80° = 1.142
  • 90° = 1.285

Notes

Adjusting the FOV requires the game to be updated to at least Title Update 3.
Some sections of the config file may not be present until specific game modes (Assault, Conquest) are played at least once.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Anisotropic filtering is changed along with streaming options, when player adjusts Texture Detail.

Texture Detail AF samples
1 Disabled
2 Disabled
3 4x
4 4x
5 16x

It is possible to manually change the Anisotropic filtering options.

Manually changing AF by editing config file[citation needed]
  1. Edit %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Section 8 Prejudice - PC\S9Game\Config\S9Engine.ini
  2. Find a line MaxAnisotropy= and change its value.

Notes

Changing any graphical option will result in a game reverting the settings to original values.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

There is an option for Multisampling in S9Engine.ini, but it does nothing. Instead use SMAA injector or force AA from graphics drivers panel.

Installing AA injector[citation needed]
  1. Download either SMAA injector.
  2. Go to <path-to-game>\Binaries\Win32\ and paste the files here.
  3. Open injector.ini.
  4. Change weird_steam_hack = 0 to weird_steam_hack = 1.
