There’s a nifty new tool that’s set to go live on March 2nd called GameAssistant. The small team working on the application rolled out a detailed list of features for the app, which allows gamers to force screen resolutions, anti-aliasing, or enabling or disabling V-sync.

From the outset it’s a neat-sounding tool with a simple windowed manifest for all the available options for the GameAssistant supported games.

The utility will allow gamers to disable startup splash screens, which can be terribly annoying. You can also force output resolution for older games or even newer games that don’t properly allow you to modify the output.

You can set windowed mode for games that don’t have the feature, or even clean-up titles by using anti-aliasing. This is probably going to be one of the more popular features, because I was recently replaying Ghostbusters: The Video Game, and it doesn’t have an anti-aliasing option, so even with the resolution cranked up you can still see jaggies, which is annoying. Being able to force anti-aliasing on would be a huge help with clearing up the edges of certain games where the internal resolution is capped or when upping the resolution doesn’t quite create the clean lines you’re expecting.

You can also set the refresh rates, upping it up to 120hz or 144hz, depending on your preference. Be warned, though, that some older games are known to completely break when you force the refresh rate for the FPS limit above what it was designed to handle. A lot of games with FPS rates tethered to the engine simulation runtime will absolutely fall apart when it comes to the game physics if you double or triple the refresh rates, so keep that in mind if you decide to grab the app and fiddle around with the frame-rate settings.

GameAssistant also comes with the option to override FOV settings, modify anisotropic filtering multipliers, and enable or disable certain post-processing effects.

You can use the utility to launch games, install games, kill game processes when they hang-up or lock-up, setup CPU affinity rates, modify compatibility modes, registry entries, binary locations, and even the configuration files.

Additionally, you can add games to GameAssistant that aren’t present, or modify the entries that are.
