ARB Wide Gui and my PC problem

[Fifi]

Hi,

Sometimes, seems randomly, I’m loosing my anti aliasing using ARB Wide Gui 1920X1080...but only the game view, not the order bar and dials! :doh:
Image is blurry and all jagged while the order bar is still clean and neat.
Have to save and exit, reload and everything is fine again...for some time.

Anyone else experienced this?
Could it be my PC or graphic card tired? (Rig has less than 1 year)
Or some settings i missed somewhere? :06:

Are you using Periscope_Fix from the H.sies hardcode fixes?
Reduce speed to 5 knots.

Yes using periscope fix, but not related because even stopped, and interior/external camera too.

Updated to latest Nvidia drivers, and reset the Inspector + control panel global setting to default... so far after hours of running, no more problems...
Tricky Windows! :roll:

Still loosing this damn AA after some Random playing time.
Tried many things, but no results...I’m afraid my GC is tired :timeout:

Hi Fifi
Which your GC ? I have GeForce GT1030 2GB no problem with this (SH3+GWX+ARB widegui by Brodaga)

It’s a GTX 1050 Ti, not that old...even pretty new (around 1 year).
Strangely i didn’t have any issue running SH4, but with SH3 image become suddenly blurry with no more AA after some playing time.
I have the latest driver compatible with this card.

I just changed my Nvidia settings (again) to try other way. Fingers crossed.
When it works, image is very fine and neat.

My guess you are using winbloze 10? Myself and a good friend have been fighting with this for some time, this is the best we have hit so far. Cards tested so far 970, 1080ti, 2080ti. All working well !

Best regards and good luck.

Hi Fifi :saluto:
Do you know is it possible to use ARB (of Bodraga) with CCoM 12? I'd rather use this than the CCoM version

Sure you can use the ARB instead of Ahnenerbe included...you’ll just miss loading screen, and few other stuff like charts etc, but nothing mandatory.
Nice thing is using ARB, you’ll have back all the left hand icons fonctions (UZO/Antenna/Flag that are missing with the gui included...unless bringing back ARB command english file)

Thank you for your settings :up:
I have already almost the same settings, except the FXAA usage and indicator.
Will try to turn it on. Not sure it will solve the AA suddenly stopping though...finger crossed

[Fifi]

SOLVED!

After all this time, i finally found why i was loosing suddenly my anti aliasing!

When you hit accidentally shift + page up ——-> it’s deactivating your AA!! :o
Hitting Control + page down ——-> it’s re activating your AA!

All this because sometimes to fully raise my periscope, i hit shift + page up instead of Control + page up !! :har:

Oh well...
