How to disable TAA (the anti-aliasing which ruins motion)

This game relies on TAA's excessive smearing to blur dithering artefacts and to reduce aliasing. This will ruin your motion clarity. This guide will show you how to disable TAA to get better motion clarity while also avoiding dithering artefacts that are present when TAA is disabled.

Why disable TAA?

TAA introduces smearing and ghosting to motion and even still images. It does a good job at anti-aliasing edges, but TAA will essentially half the resolution for anything that isn't an edge.

Solution:

Locate the game's engine.ini file under:
(C:\Users\(YourComputerUser)\AppData\Local\P3R\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor)
and add the following to the top of the ini file:

[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.MotionBlur.Amount=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=1
r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=0
r.PostProcessAAQuality=6
r.AntialiasingMethod=1
foliage.DitheredLOD=0
r.FXAA.Quality=5
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.6 (or 0 if you prefer a softer picture)
r.BloomQuality=0 (this is optional and will disable blooming to help with picture clarity)

Then set your engine.ini file to read-only in the properties tab.

This will replace TAA with quality UE4 FXAA. FXAA will do the job TAA did in regards to reducing dithering artefacts using smearing, but in a significantly more motion-friendly manner while preserving much more detail than TAA.

FXAA alone is not enough to provide good anti-aliasing. You will then want to increase your render resolution (SSAA) as much as you can. You will rely on SSAA combined with FXAA over TAA for the anti-aliasing. This will result in an undithered picture, much like the one TAA provides, but without the motion caveats and excessive blurring of TAA.

can we get a before and after with this?

thanks

[Arios]

will this improve fps?

Q: Will this affect the game negatively? i.e. slow it down, prevent start ups, etc?

Hello and thank you for your comments.

You need to input the commands listed in the guide inside the file named 'engine.ini' under the directory C:\Users\(YourComputerUser)\AppData\Local\P3R\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. Make sure you have 'Hidden items' ticked under the view tab in file explorer.

SSAA can be enabled and increased by going into the in-game graphics settings and raising render resolution. If you are hitting your FPS mark with 200% SSAA, consider using a DLDSR resolution alongside SSAA for even better picture clarity.

How do I increase SSAA?

Guys, it's literally a file called Engine.ini in that directory they mentioned

[NightRaven]

Hi, Do you mean the file "GameUserSettings.ini"?

[Erde]

Thanks, guide was clear and self-explanatory. Very easy to understand and result-oriented!

Yeah, I can't find anything related to the game's engine or anything like that. A visual guide would help a lot honestly. Unless i'm just being stupid or something-
