Default Anisotropic Filtering[edit]

In-game texture option	Anisotropic Filtering
Low	x2
Medium	x8
High	?
Very High	x16
Ultra	x16

Field of view (FOV)[edit]

Set FOV in console^[5]

Open the console (~).
Enter cl_fov XX (replace XX with the FOV you want).
Press ↵ Enter.

Notes

This can alternatively be set in your user.cfg file.

High frame rate[edit]

Change the frame rate cap

Open the console (~).
Enter sys_MaxFPS XX (replace XX with the max FPS you want).
Press ↵ Enter.

Notes

This can alternatively be set in your user.cfg file.

Depth of field[edit]

Disable depth of field^[6]

Go to <path-to-game>\Engine\.
Open engine.pak with 7-Zip or similar. If you get a "read-only" error when trying to edit the file, use Total Commander.
Open the config\cvargroups folder.
Open sys_spec_PostProcessing.cfg.
Change r_DepthOfFIeld=2 to r_DepthOfFIeld=0.

HUD Location Adjustment[edit]

Center or adjust the HUD regardless of resolution

Navigate to the game install directory.
Open HUD.xml, located within Data\GameData.pak\Libs\UI\UIElements. Use 7zip or similar to directly open pak files.
Locate the "Constraints" tag, near the top, within the GFx tag.
Replace the existing constraints section with the following, adjusted as needed. This is based on a monitor resolution of 3440x1440, and desired HUD resolution of 2560x1440 (centered 16:9):

     <Constraints>
       <Align mode="fixed"/>
       <Position top="0" left="440" width="2560" height="1440" />
     </Constraints>

To center the hud: set "left=#" where # is your screen resolution subtracted by the desired HUD resolution then halved (e.g. (3440 - 2560)/2)
Save the XML and drop it back into the pak file.

Notes

These changes will also need to be applied to any patch files containing HUD.xml,which can be found within Data\patch pak files.

This results in minor visual issues during dialogue (black bars are displayed, and grain-overlay does not fill screen).

Issues fixed[edit]

Cutscenes are capped at 30 FPS[edit]

FPS during cutscenes is locked to 30 FPS.^[7] The cutscenes are in-engine, meaning they should go as high as your setup is set, or can render to.

Add a configuration file to unlock the FPS when in fullscreen mode

In-game, ensure the Fullscreen option is selected in the display settings.
Exit the game.
Make a new file called user.cfg in <path-to-game> and open it in a text editor.
Add the following lines, where sys_MaxFPS is your maximum FPS, then save and close the file:

r_Vsync = 0
sys_MaxFPS = 144

Blurry textures[edit]

The game takes a long time to load texture mipmaps leading to blurry textures especially on characters.

Increase the game mipmap LOD value to prevent the game from constantly reloading the mipmaps from the disk^[8]

Open the in-game console with ~
Type r_TexturesStreamingMipBias -3
Press ↵ Enter, then close the console with ~.

Notes

This workaround might cause a 2-4 FPS loss.

You can also apply this fix by adding the above line to your user.cfg file, mentioned above.

Recommended texture setting based on VRAM[edit]

The following table covers what amount of VRAM each level of the texture setting is designed for. This table doesn't take into account VRAM used by geometry and shadows.^[9]

In-game Option	VRAM
Low	1 GB
Medium	1.5 GB
High	2 GB
Very High	3 GB
Ultra	6 GB

"Another thing, unfortunately Anisotropic Filtering is tied to texture level, despite 16x AF not being a demanding setting at all. With Textures set to High, the max AF level is just 4x - so no matter how good your (edit: I’m writing this for the general public, I know that your 1080ti can use Ultra textures) LOD and draw distance settings are, you will always get murky textures. It’s only at Textures set to Very High and Ultra does 16x AF kick in, making long distance viewing look much crisper (with appropriately high LOD settings)."

"It’s a shame that AF is tied to the texture settings, and that the recommended GPU VRAM for a given texture setting isn’t specified, except it is in the game’s files. From sys_spec_TextureResolution.cfg

* Texture set to Low is for 1 GB VRAM
* Texture set to Medium is for 1.5 GB VRAM
* Texture set to High is for 2 GB VRAM
* Texture set to Very High is for 3 GB VRAM
* Texture set to Ultra is for 6 GB VRAM

Those correspond to the Texture CVARS 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7, respectively."
