Very Nice!!

looks very crisp!

Oh my! Great Pics!

I hadn't realised SHIV was a sub game until now!

Finally AA !!! :up:

I'm pretty sure AA isn't working. None of the screenshots show AA working, and I can't seem to force it on mine either.

Boris, FSAA works just fine now after the patch, I can confirm this. Just take a look at the screenshots.

:doh:

Well, I'm sure I can't force it because it's not working.

Plus all of the shots show jaggies that should be gone with AA. This can be seen on the cables on the subs and ships. If there are pixelated breaks in the cables (which there are), then AA isn't working.

Not meaning to sound to negative, it looks a hell of a lot better with higher resolutions now, but I'm yet to be convinced about the AA.

Can someone post before-and-after shots?

Isn't FSAA now a checkbox/drop-down on the SHIV graphics options screen? If that is the case then don't try to force it, just got to your vid card set-up menu, set FSAA to "Application Controlled" - then set in SHIV and you should be good to go.

where in the graphics option you turn aa on,well i dont see anything with aa there in the graphics options?

I can't see any FSAA checkbox/dropdown option in the graphics option page.

Has anyone else got this ?

No idea how to set FSAA. Anyone help ?

Thanks,
Kevin.

It depends of how much AA you force. With 4xAA you can still see some jaggies at 1280x1024. But it is much better now. Higher AA is nice but it kills the FPS.

Can someone post a shot of SH4 on full AA then?

Here's what full ATI 6x temporal AA looks like on mine when it's working. I used Il2 as an example:

Notice the cables on the aircraft, and how they look at a greater distance:

Now what it looks like in SH4 with the same AA settings:

As you can see, SH4 isn't affected by the driver-forced AA settings at all.

Posting screenies in a sec...in game now taking them.

Errr....no. FSAA does not magically remove ALL jaggies, it depends on the resolution and the factor of AA how smooth the grafics will appear.

On my system forcing FSAA via the NVIDIA control panel works just fine, this is a shot at 1024x768 resolution, with 4xFSAA. You still see some minor jaggies, but that's to be expected at that res. It doesn't detract from the fact that FSAA now works with SH4.

@ Boris: why do you use temporal AA? Did you try to force normal 4x/8x FSAA?

VERY NICE!!!! INDEED. I cant wait!

Ok, so why does it work for you and not for me? :damn:

Looks a lot better now (in ref to PB's screen above).

On a side note, the forums sure are taking a beating at the moment ... very slow.

Old video driver perhaps?

Hmmm...looks like you MUST "force" it then via the GPU menu.

NICE pick ParaB!! :yep:
