you need to open the settings.json file which i found here

C:\Users\Dan\Documents\Avalanche Studios\GenerationZero\Saves\settings\76561197968560421

just change the 1's to 0's and save.

You have to set posteffects to 0 as well or else game will crash (took me a while to find out)

"GraphicsPostEffects": 0,

"GraphicsAA": 0,

"GraphicsVignette": 0,


Vignette darkens the corners of your screen. Optional

full screen antialiasing ruins the depth of games. Its a fact. People need to learn to hate fullscreen AA

Fullscreen AA blends ALL the pixels together. It even blends foreground and background pixels with eachother. Turning a 3D game into essentially a 2D game to your brain.

This is why my brain is able to chew on games with AA off so much easier. The depth information is unsullied

EdgeAA was invented to combat this but its implementation has been few and far between

I dont know about that... It shows all the jaggies with it off so i prefer a smoother look just like on my TV's i set sharpness to 20% or so, anything below 50% but thats just me.

bro if you have sharpness setting on your TV. Use that before EVER enabling antialiasing

Fullscreen AA is literally just a 2D layer of blur

Just try disabling AA in this game, it becomes so incredibly HD and detailed. Someone else has got to try it

When i mentioned TV's, i meant for general use, not for gaming or anything.

good its really awesome i just want at least one other person to try it. It makes game feel more raw and stalker-esque and it really brings out the depth perception and special effects

I've tried it and to me, it looked worse. It caused a bunch of white pixiliation and made the quality not where I liked it. Other factors could account for it, like what overall quality settings you run with on everything else, as well could depend on your hardware you run. Funny thing is, my FPS also went down turning that stuff off, which is weird, it shouldn't have. I went from a steady 160 to about 147 viewing the same area.
