Install

1. Close AION 2. Open the file path above (Windows + R, paste, Enter) and keep a copy of the file. 2. Paste the block at the end and save. 3. Start the game. To undo, delete the lines from AION 2 WIKI START to AION 2 WIKI END.

A line in Engine.ini overrides the in-game graphics menu for that setting.
