r_Fullscreen=1
r_Width=800
r_Height=600

Notes

Allows for manual selection of any desired resolution.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

SGSSAA (Nvidia only)[5]
  1. Open State of Decay driver profile via Nvidia Profile Inspector.
  2. Change Antialiasing compatibility to 0x000012C1[6]
  3. Change Antialiasing - Mode to Override any application setting
  4. Change Antialiasing - Setting to 2x [2x Multisampling], 4x [4x Multisampling] or 8xQ [8x Multisampling]
  5. Change Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling to 2x Sparse Grid Supersampling, 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling or 8x Sparse Grid Supersampling
