Tips and tricks:
Cap the framerate/potentially improve frametimes: Download RivaTuner Statistics Server, input your desired framerate limit in the "Framerate limit" box, and hit enter (the program comes bundled with MSI Afterburner and earlier versions of EVGA PrecisionX). Alternatively, those with an Nvidia GPU have the option of Nvidia Inspector, which can also be used to impose a framerate cap, either in a similar manner to RTSS or by way of forcing a different vsync interval (click the small tool icon to open the game profile section).
Note: Useful if you your system can't maintain, say, 60fps and you're sensitive to the wild fluctuations, or you're experiencing uneven frametimes. The greater window the engine has to render a given frame, if you're imposing a lower framerate than the game can otherwise provide, may also help in alleviating stuttering related to data streaming.
Stop the game from crashing after 15 minutes on touch-capable systems running Windows 10: Open the task manager, switch to the Services tab and disable TabletInputService.
Disable chromatic aberration: Follow the instructions here. You may need to set the file to read-only. (Credit to JimSifu @ Steam Community via ShadowSoldier89.) Note that this will also reduce motion blur quality. (Credit to low-G.)
Disable film grain: As above, but with r.Tonemapper.Quality=3. (Credit to Parsnip.)
Stop the game from crashing due to a hung GPU (AMD): Try downgrading to the 16.11.5 drivers. (Credit to Cloudz @ Steam Community.)
Enable 21:9 support in fights: Use this trainer. (Credit to jackfuste @ WSGF via KingpinZero.)
Improve shadow quality: See "Disable chromatic aberration", but use r.Shadow.MaxResolution=4096. (Credit to Sectus and MGrant.)
Increase anisotropic filtering quality: As above, but with r.MaxAnisotropy=16. (Credit to Ash735.)
Fix lower performance when using exclusive fullscreen mode: A bug with the resolution scale setting can result in two instances of the game being rendered. Switch to borderless window mode and close the second, smaller window. (Credit to Bydobob.)
