A FREE case of beer!

Do it.

Do it.

:arrgh!:

[Sir Big Jugs]

Excuse the ignorance, but as I don't have SHIV, what is FSAA?:oops:

[Gildor]

Full(or Forced?) Screen Anti Aliasing (spelling prob wrong. haven't had coffee yet)

[Ark]

Full Scene Anti-Aliasing

(smooths out jagged edges)

[Uber Gruber]

Pics people, we need pics!

[Boris]

Um, anyone else tried it...?

1680x1050 looks great, but forced AA doesn't work for me.

[mookiemookie]

Bumpin' dis

:arrgh!:

[Toast]

Can't seem to force FSAA yet. Got some lovely screenies at 1680x1050 all the same though - just not a clue how to upload them!

[hector]

1680x1050 res here as well,everything looks sooo much better now.

[cowboys98]

i know ,they dont look good,in the graphic options i dont see anywhere where it says anything about anti-aliasing,how do i turn it on?

You force it from the video card driver. Both Antialiasing and Texture filtering.

Try enabling it through the graphics card's driver. Can't check because I'm at work, but like many games it may not have its own built-in FSAA.

Cheers,

RD.

[flintlock]

Yeah, those 5 pics linked by Cowboy look horrible. Odd, considering they're at the lowest res too, 1024x768. Something's not right there, as 1.1 with environmenteal effects on looked much better then those.

The first pictures is missing the ship reflections on the water!

[cowboys98]

pictures looks good,i got nvidia geforce 7600 gs,i want my game to look that good,maybe im not setting it right,i need help!!!!

[Meridian]

Yeah, it may be I didn't unpause it to let the graphics refresh enough before I took the screenie. I was concentrating on the ship.

[Skubber]

I can now play on my laptop!

Before the patch, game was unplayable at minimum graphics. Almost playable with no external camera.

After patch - minimum-to-moderate settings with 4X FSAA, environmental effects (but no fog!) and all seems good so far. As you can see, I can use the external cam.

This is good news I think for people with less-than high spec machines.

Looks GREAT!

So, the million dollar question...

...can we enable post-processing and all other in-game effects with no issue having FSAA on?

[cowboys98]

These are the settings you're looking for. 8x will give you best quality but slowest performance. 2x is best performance but lowest quality.

[cowboys98]

how bout the other settings,where do they need to be set at?

[mookiemookie]

This is something you'll have to play around with on your rig, as there isn't really a "one size fits all" answer.

This guide can give you some color on what all those settings actually do:

On NVIDIA cards, most of the advanced settings are to solve particular problems, the settings to play with are:

anisotropic filtering, try 2x or 4x. more than that will impact FPS with no appreciable quality difference;

AA, try 2xQ or 4x,

vsync - force on, prevents screen tearing;

triple buffering - on, if vsync is on will improve FPS, however if it causes stutters, choose off.

If anyone thought FSAA wasn't worth it given the state of other bugs, I think these screens show why. Man that looks good, and it's not even moving.

I'm glad I've fixed my system and I'm now running overclocked at around 3 GHz (Core2 E6600) with a GF8800GTS so it ought to scream.

First new screeny I took omfg this game looks fantastic now. Just about anytime in the game I go external view jesus man it's like desktop picture material everytime. This game sorely needed aa and af I am so happy.
