Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Modify "Scalability.ini" config file.

Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open Scalability.ini using a text editor. At the bottom of the config file, add these lines of text: [TextureQuality@x] r.MaxAnisotropy=xx Replace [TextureQuality@x] with the sg.TextureQuality setting being used in GameUserSettings.ini. Replace the "xx" value in r.MaxAnisotropy with the desired anisotropic filtering mode (0 = Disabled, 2 = 2X, 4 = 4X, 8 = 8X, 16 = 16X. Save the ini file. Right click on Scalability.ini, and go to properties, then set the file as "Read-only". This will prevent the game from overwriting the values. By default, the game uses the "2" value for the "High" texture settings option.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Enable TAA through "Engine.ini" config file.
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open Engine.ini using a text editor. At the bottom of the config file, add these lines of text: [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2 Save the ini file. Right click on Engine.ini, and go to properties, then set the file as "Read-only". This will prevent the game from overwriting the values. Causes noticeable ghosting.

Enable Super-Sampling (SSAA)
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open Engine.ini using a text editor. At the bottom of the config file, add these lines of text: [ConsoleVariables] r.ScreenPercentage=200 May have heavier performance impact on lower end GPUs.
