How to change the anti-aliasing method in PS4 version of Red Dead Redemption

by

The PlayStation 4 version of Red Dead Redemption lets you switch between FXAA and AMD FSR 2. To see how you can change between these anti-aliasing methods, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

What is anti-aliasing?

Anti-aliasing helps smooth out jaggies that may appear on certain objects. These visual distortions are more likely to appear in games that have a low native resolution.

FXAA vs. AMD FSR 2 in RDR

When it comes to Red Dead Redemption, we found that using the default AMD FSR 2 anti-aliasing method results in a sharper looking game with less jaggies when compared to FXAA.

Keep in mind that the PlayStation 4 version of Red Dead Redemption can also be played on the PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 5 consoles. By doing so, you should get even better image quality with AMD FSR 2 enabled.

How to change the anti-aliasing method

If you want to change how anti-aliasing in the PS4 port of Red Dead Redemption, then you need to take the following steps:

1. Press the Options button on the controller during gameplay to bring up the pause menu.

2. In the pause menu, select Options.

3. Under the Options menu, you then need to select Display.

4. On the right side of the same screen, you should see the Anti-Aliasing option. By default, this is set to AMD FSR 2. You will be able to switch it from AMD FSR 2 to FXAA or vice versa.

5. Once you are done changing this setting, exit the pause menu and then test out the new anti-aliasing method in the game. If you prefer how the game looks previously, then you can switch back to the first anti-aliasing setting from the aforementioned Options > Display menu.

How to fix Tower of Fantasy camera issues on PS4 and PS5

by

When fighting in the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 versions of Tower of Fantasy, you may encounter camera issues. To see how you can prevent the in-game camera from moving on its own when you are engaged in combat, you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. First off, make your way to the Settings menu from either the main menu screen or the in-game pop-up menu.

2. Inside of Settings, use the directional pad to change tabs until you get to Camera.

3. From the Camera tab, use the left analog stick to scroll down to the Mode of Operation section.

From there, make sure that both the “Auto-correct camera distance” and “Auto-correct camera angle” settings are set to Off.

By doing so, the camera will no longer zoom in, zoom out or move around on its own when you are attacking an enemy.

4. On the same screen, we also recommend that you scroll up and move the menu cursor to the Camera Distance in Combat slider. Press and hold the X button with the menu cursor on the slider and then use the left analog stick to adjust its value.

We suggest that you set Camera Distance in Combat slider to 1.5 to move the camera back. By doing so, you should end up having a wider view during fighting sequences.

Inside of Settings, make sure you are viewing the Basic tab; if you aren’t then you can change tabs by using the directional pad.

2. From the main menu, press the Square button on your controller to bring up the Select Server menu.

3. Once you get to the Select Server menu, use the directional pad to change to the Recommended Server, America, Europe or East Asia tab.

If you are trying to play with another friend, then you should make sure you select the same servers as them. If you are looking for the best performance in terms of connectivity, then you should select the servers that are greenlit. If you are looking for popular servers, then you should select the yellow-lit ones.

Use the left analog stick to select your new server.
