Anisotropic filtering (AF)[edit]

Anisotropic filtering is changed along with streaming options, when player adjusts Texture Detail.

1	Disabled
2	Disabled
3	4x
4	4x
5	16x

It is possible to manually change the Anisotropic filtering options.

Manually changing AF by editing config file^{[citation needed]}

Edit %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Section 8 Prejudice - PC\S9Game\Config\S9Engine.ini
Find a line MaxAnisotropy= and change its value.

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.
