Anisotropic filtering (AF)
Patch the graphics to 32-bit before forcing AF from the level of graphical drivers. See Widescreen resolution.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
Patch the graphics to 32-bit before forcing AA from the level of graphical drivers. See Widescreen resolution.
- Forcing antialiasing might make in-game fonts distorted, to prevent that, enable "Alternate Pixel Centers" if you have an ATI card. Alternatively, force Supersampling anti-aliasing (SSAA) to resolve font distortion.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/361670/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (361670) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
