Issues fixed

AI Upscaling and Screen Smoothing

Tekken 8 CNT and CBT do not have an option to remove AI Upscaling or Screen Smoothing. Fortunately, Unreal Engine 5 has a lot of modifiable settings.

Edit Engine.ini
Go to the configuration file location. Make a backup of `Engine.ini`. Replace with the following file. Link here. This file also contains different settings for Bloom, Motion Blur, and Anti-Aliasing. Please modify with a number from 0-3 as you see fit.

Unlock FPS + Minor fixes

Tekken 8 is locked to 60 FPS, TekkenOverlay unlocks and allows higher framerates.

Unlock frame-cap
Download TekkenOverlay from the official repository. Extract the contents of the downloaded archive to a folder of your choice. Run `TekkenOverlay.exe`. Run Tekken 8 In the settings, enable "Unlock FPS".
