How to disable TAA in The Talos Principle 2

Welcome to our friendly guide on how to disable TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) in The Talos Principle 2. In this blog post, we will provide you with a step-by-step outline on how to manually edit the game's configuration files and tweak its graphics settings. TAA is a common anti-aliasing technique used in many modern games to smooth out jagged edges and improve visual quality. However, some players may prefer to disable it for personal preference or performance reasons. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you will be able to disable TAA and customize your graphics settings in The Talos Principle 2 to suit your preferences.

The first step in disabling TAA in The Talos Principle 2 is to locate the "Engine.ini" file. This file contains various settings and configurations for the game. To find it, navigate to the directory "C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Local\Talos2\Saved\Config\Windows". Within this folder, you should find the "Engine.ini" file.

Once you have located the "Engine.ini" file, open it using a text editor of your choice, such as Notepad. Scroll down or use the find function (Ctrl+F) to locate the [SystemSettings] section within the file. This section contains various graphics settings that can be modified to customize your gaming experience.

There are two methods you can use to disable TAA in The Talos Principle 2.

One way to disable TAA is by adding or modifying two lines of code provided by developers or players. These lines of code control the TAA settings in the game. For example, you may find two lines that look like this:

To disable TAA, modify these lines by changing their values from "0" to "-1", like this:

Save the changes after modifying the code.

Alternatively, you can experiment with different values for "r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight" and "r.TemporalAASamples". By replacing both values with "0", you effectively disable TAA. However, if you prefer a different level of anti-aliasing, you can try other values such as "1", "2", or "3" for different anti-aliasing effects. Keep in mind that higher values may result in a more pronounced anti-aliasing effect, while lower values may provide a less noticeable effect.

After making the desired changes to the "Engine.ini" file, save it and close the text editor. It is important to save the file to ensure that the changes take effect in the game.

Launch The Talos Principle 2 and check if TAA has been successfully disabled. If TAA is still enabled, double-check that you saved the changes correctly in the "Engine.ini" file and restart the game.

In future updates, game developers may introduce an in-game option to tweak TAA settings based on player feedback. This would provide a simpler way to disable or adjust TAA settings within the game itself. It is always worth keeping an eye out for such updates that could provide a more convenient and user-friendly method to customize graphics settings.
