Default video settings ?

bsmooth · Oct 16, 2017

I played around with my filtering and now would like to get back to the default settings for AC. Its for 1680 x 1050. Anyone know what the default settings are ?

Is it determined by your PC ? What I would like to go back to the default whatever that is?

First solution : delete your default.ini file and launch "verify integrity of game files" on Steam. It should re-download it

Second : copy paste the following, it's more or less the default one

Code:

[YEBIS]
ENABLED=1 ; enables and disable yebis

[OPTIMIZATIONS]
FIXED_WIDTH=1280 ; this resolution is the one used for the effects, if set to 0 takes the actual res, if set to a number let's say 1280, uses a small buffer for the effects, helps on performance
