TWEAKS
******

�Use ingame antialiasing option (if you're set AA in your graphic drivers, shadows will not be displayed in-game)
�You can enhance vegetation aliasing by activate transparency AA in your graphic driver (2X or 4X, 8X is useless)
�For those who like it, V-Sync must be set to ON in graphic drivers
�To enhance compatibility, I advice to not install Steam & game in "C:/Program Files". Also, deactivate Steam overlay.
�If your language setting is reset each time you launch the game, read this tutorial.
�Use my ENB Preset to improve bloom & coloration. If the ENB don't launch at start, check if the game executable is not set as "Launch as administrator"
