⚙️ System settings repair

🖥️ Screen space shadow "fix"

Extremely noticeable screen space shadow occlusion occurring at the edges of the screen

Setting DirectionalScreenSpaceShadowQuality in systemsettings to 0.0 should resolve the screen space shadow issues most people have with this game

It can also be done through settings.xml, but it will continue to be restored. The systemsettings method makes it permanent.

👥 Low polygon long distance pedestrian "fix"

Set PedLodBias to minimum value 1.0 via systemsettings.ymt to offset low poly NPCs

It can also be done through settings.xml, but it will continue to be restored. The systemsettings method makes it permanent.

⚠️ Broken settings (recommended to close)

❌ FXAA (DX12)

Keeping in-game FXAA turned off creates vertical black line artifacts that are always visible

❌ Reflective MSAA (DX12)

Keeping Reflective MSAA off will produce colored graphics artifacts in cutscenes and anywhere depth of field switches

❌ Full screen resolution SSAO

Keep full screen SSAO on, without it distant objects will start flickering

❌ MSAA

Keeping MSAA off will interfere with LOD transitions

❌ Parallax Occlusion Mapping

Setting it to super high introduces a lot of graphical artifacts all over the map
