SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - FSAA/Anti-aliasing/Major resolution problem (merged)

Just an update on my original post:

I am almost 100% certain now that anything 3D is locked at 1024x768

I've tried the SH3 res fix.. doesn't seem to work.

I've searched through the config files and other files to find a fix and cannot find anything obvious.

It seems that anything 2D is rendered at the set resolution - in my case 1920x1200 - for example on the navigation map screen everything excluding event cameras is at full resolution.

A programmer friend of mine thinks that it would actually be more difficult for the devs to render the 3D in this way (he thinks they are rendering to a back buffer first rather than direct rendering) so he suggests that they could probably fix it if they chose to.

For me the problem is disappointing to say the least. I have gone back to SH3+GWX with the old SH3 res fix to run at 1920x1200 for now.. imho it looks, in the main, better than SH4.

The problem isn't a complete show stopper but it is just ludicrous that at 1920x1200 distant objects and even the sub's railings look pixellated.

Here's a shot I took of Sh3 with GWX at 1920x1200.. no jaggies or pixellation.. AND NO AA!! for those of you that think this is an AA problem

Interestingly if you enable the software AA at 1920x1200 (shift-pageup/dwn I think) in SH3 it starts to look more like SH4! I've tried various key combinations in SH4 but can't find anything to turn off s/w AA (if it's there at all)
