Default video settings ?

[bsmooth]

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 ?

 

[bsmooth]

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
