About this mod
Welcome to this guide. I hope it helps make the game less harsh on the eyes, as the anti-aliasing implementation in this game is quite poor
A SHOWCASE VIDEO WITH TAA VS. DLAA IS IN THE VIDEO SECTION
- Permissions and credits
Attention: This tweak may interfere with performance mods from other users or mod makers.
Now, let's open the
engine.ini
file located at %localappdata%\Alabama\Saved\Config\Windows
Search for the following two lines, but only up to the =
sign:r.Shadow.Virtual.ResolutionLodBiasDirectional=-2
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.55
- If these lines are not found, you have no conflicts in your engine.ini
for this tweak. - If found, you must adjust the numbers. The first line reduces ghosting from anti-aliasing, while the second line is a sharpening filter. I recommend setting the sharpening filter to 0.5 or 1.0 maximum, as values above 1.0 may introduce visual artifacts.
section does not exist, create it like this:
[SystemSettings]
r.Shadow.Virtual.ResolutionLodBiasDirectional=-2
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.55
Step 2: [NVIDIA RTX GPU ONLY] Updating NVIDIA DLSS and Forcing DLAA
Attention: This tweak disables the performance increase from DLSS because we are forcing DLAA via DLSS tweaks.
This step significantly improves anti-aliasing at the cost of only 4-5 FPS with a 2080 Ti. However, performance may vary; in the worst case, it might cost up to 10 FPS. The visual improvement is substantial, making it a worthwhile trade-off.
Let's get started:
- Download the updated DLSS files from the Nexus download section. Open your game folder, then drag and drop the folder to replace the files. You have now updated DLSS.
- To force DLAA via DLSS tweaks, download the
DLSS Tweaks
ini file from the Nexus download section. Drag and drop the folder into your game folder. Then, download the latest version of DLSS Tweaks from this link: DLSS Tweaks Mod.- Open the following folders in your game directory:
Alabama > Binaries > Win64
- Extract the
dlsstweaks
zip file you downloaded. - You will see a file called
dxgi.dll
. Drag this file into theWin64
folder. - If you have ReShade installed, you will see a similarly named file in the
Win64
folder. To avoid conflicts:- Rename the
dxgi.dll
file from thedlsstweaks
folder towinmm.dll
. - Place the renamed
winmm.dll
file into theWin64
folder.
- Rename the
- Open the following folders in your game directory:
Step 3:
Enjoy the game now with less blur and more sharpness. However, if you notice a significant performance hit on your hardware, you need to uninstall DLAA. Follow these steps:
- Remove the
dlsstweaks.ini
file from theWin64 folder.
- If you do not have ReShade installed, remove the
dxgi.dll
file. If ReShade is installed, delete thewinmm.dll
file instead. - Now, DLSS should work as intended without forcing DLAA via the tweak.
Final Words: I hope this guide is clear and easy to understand. English is not my first language, so it was a bit challenging to write, but I hope it helps others!
