    If anyone's still watching this tutorial in 2024: Use CTRL + H to do "Find & Replace" instead of CTRL + F for "Find" on the Smooth Edges step. Then put in "enumerateMultisampleLevels false" in the Find box and "enumerateMultisampleLevels true" in the Replace box. Then click Replace All. No need to go doing it one by one. Also, mucking around with security permissions on files is a bad habit to get into. Not so dangerous in this case but change the wrong permission on the wrong file and you can lock yourself out of Windows. Instead I recommend right click on Notepad in the Start menu and click "Run as administrator" then find the file by going to "File > Open" in the Notepad menu, rather than finding the file in Explorer first and then trying to open it with Notepad. Then you have the right to save the file from the beginning without needing to muck about with permissions. Although this is only a problem if your game is installed in the Program Files folder.
