Man, what a game and an amazing 3D experience! Many people have been saying things along the lines of "favourite game ever" and "hugely underrated" (I'd agree more with the latter than the former myself), meanwhile some others complain it's horribly unoptimized or lacking in options (FOV slider and disable motion blur). What I'm sure we can all agree with is that the game is jaw droppingly gorgeous, with a strong narrative, and some unique and fun gameplay aspects. Definitely a must play for 3D enthusiasts (especially those with the hardware to enjoy it's full potential). Enjoy!
Fixed:
•	Lighting (global illumination, volumetric lighting, spotlights) & shadows
•	Screen space reflections
•	Fog and electricity effects
•	Time ripple effects
•	Bloom effects / lens flares
•	HUD & 3D crosshair implemented

Changes:
•	Volumetric lighting (perfect).
Updated on 01-01-2019 to verison 2.0 by masterotaku
Changes:
•	Volumetric lighting (close to perfect).
•	Screen space reflections.
•	Lighting clipping.
•	Fog that was in 2D.
•	Electricity in the generator of some enemies, which was in 2D.
•	Added auto-convergence preset for cutscenes, and fixed lighting effects for all settings (no longer required for just highest settings)
Updated on 10-24-2016 to verison 1.2
•	Adds compatibility for auto-crosshair to work on all resolutions
Previous updates:
1.1 - Reduces high performance impact of fix on some systems
Instructions
1. Download fix: Version 2.1
2. Extract fix contents to ..\QuantumBreak\dx11 directory
3. In-game settings:
•	As you may already be aware, the "Upscaling" option actually has the game being rendered at a LOWER resolution than the display resolution you choose, and upscales it to that resolution (ie. renders at 720P when you select 1080P), so naturally that causes the game to look softer and have textures look a little blurry in order to increase performance a bit. Keep this off to have the game render at the proper resolution, however is much more demanding.
4. Optional - Nvidia 3D settings. When I disabled upscaling, in addition to lower performance, I also experienced some significant micro-stuttering. When I set these settings in the Nvidia Control Panel my stuttering disappeared:
•	Anisotropic filtering: 16x (this wasn't for stuttering, I read that this actually improves texture filtering over the game's default)
•	Maximum pre-rendered frames: 1
•	Shader Cache: Off (I suspect this may have caused some texture glitches I was facing)
•	Threaded optimization: On
•	Triple buffering: On
•	Vertical sync: Adaptive
5.  Key presets. The following keys have been set up to do the following:
•	F1: convergence presets.
•	F2: HUD depth presets, mostly for subtitles.
•	F3: depth of field toggle. Not disabled by default.
•	F4: motion blur toggle. Not disabled by default.
Tools used / Special thanks:
•	3DMigoto. Thanks to the entire team for this wonderful tool, with special thanks to bo3b with his assistance in tracking down a few crashes and errors
•	masterotaku for updating the fix to resolve nearly all remaining issue
•	DarkStarSword's auto-depth 3D crosshair
•	Thanks to mrorange55 for sponsoring a copy of the game to the community which enabled me to work on this
•	Thanks to DHR for his reporting of high performance impact of HUD fix and providing solution to problem
•	All the people at the Geforce 3DVision forums who helped with testing and feedback
