#1 Uncap FPS
In order to get unlimited fps you have to modify a file which is located in:
-->My Documents>Amnesia>Pig>, so now you have to open "main_settings.cfg"
and look for: LimitFPS="true"

then change it to: LimitFPS="false"

Note: The maximun FPS that you are going to have match with the current hz of your screen, so If you have a 120hz monitor, set it on 120hz and then start the game, so you will have UP TO 120fps.

↓↓↓ IMPORTANT ↓↓↓
Note: IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT A 120hz monitor and you want more than 60fps you have to change this parameter: UpdatesPerSec="60.000000"
#2 Change FOV (Field of View)
If you want to change your fov, you have to go to this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Machine for Pigs\config

Then open the file: game.cfg and look for FOV = "70", then you can change it to whatever you want, but I don't recommend going further than 80 or 85, so if you want,
change it to FOV = "75"



#3 Surround Sound
So just download file, copy "soft_oal.dll" on the game folder, launch game launcher and in the sound option tab there is a new Unsuported device and just start the game.

Download OpenAL Soft from our repository, our forums or source website.
Extract archive, navigate to Win32 folder from this archive.
Locate file soft_oal.dll and copy it to the game folder (..\Steam\steamapps\common\Machine for Pigs\ for example).

Launch game launcher and navigate to the Sound options tab.
There should be new Unsuported device. Select it and launch the game.




#4 How to Remove Blue Fog (Tutorial By luvstospooge)
Note: It works but I think it disappears when it Saves game.
Tutorial Source: http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=177376909

So go to My Documents>Amnesia>Pig>(YOURUSERNAME)> Locate your lastest Save (see the date), then open it with notepad (or Notepad++ (Recomended).

Then locate this: name="mbFogActive" val="true"

And change it to: name="mbFogActive" val="false"

- Apparently there are more than one: name="mbFogActive" val="true" BUT You only have to Change THE FIRST ONE

#5 Antialiasing (FXAA Injector)
So you can download this FXAA Injector, just drag the content of the DirectX 9 folder on the Amnesia game folder (\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Machine for Pigs) and Play the game! :)

The game is so much better with that awful fog removed. The fix isn't permanent; the fog will come back when moving to a new chapter, and occasionally when alt-tabbing or loading up the game, but it's really not too much of a hassle to leave the savefile directory open and re-tweak the variable when everything suddenly turns blue.

@Frielok I know that this is a very late reply, but this may be helpful for others. I believe that the game is hardlocked to 60fps as the game's physics are tied to the framerate. Meaning if the game ran of 120 fps the physics would move twice as fast as they are supposed to be.

This unlock fps ever works? I changed fps cap to false, still 60 fps, changed max framerate to 30, works, change to 55, works, change to 120, rest on 60FPS. Sad.

you see more. fov = field of view basically how much more you're able to see to the left and right

The fps unlock tweak doesn't work, game is still capped at 60. I have a 144 Hz monitor.

Thank you so much. I still have no idea why Frictional never truly optimized their engine or any of their games
