Special Notes

Resolution scaling

If you want to increase the resolution scaling in this game you need to enable Force CPU Blit in Debug tab (must be enabled manually in /GuiConfigs/Currentsettings.ini by setting showDebugTab line to true). You also need to enable the Disable SPU MLAA patch (located under all titles in Patch manager). Note that this comes with a performance penalty and some visuals like electricity glow will be gone.
