It is possible to manually change the Anisotropic filtering options.

Notes

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

Anti-aliasing (AA)[edit]

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]}

Download either SMAA injector.
Go to <path-to-game>\Binaries\Win32\ and paste the files here.
Open injector.ini.
Change weird_steam_hack = 0 to weird_steam_hack = 1.
