FSAA/Anti-aliasing/Major resolution problem (merged)

Guido · 02-21-07, 02:20 AM

you guyz do know that the current hardware could only do one or the other, its not ubis fault, on the 360 of course it could do both with its unified architecture.
The new 8800 can also do both, fear not ye sea dogs............ upgrade upgrade upgrade. lol

EDIT : btw If shift page up turns on bloom, does pressing it again disable it? as it didnt seem to on my vista x64 install.

Actually, Post-Processing effects and FSAA doesn't work due to a limitation within the modified Unreal2 engine. Ubisoft said so in the GRAW and Vegas forums a while back. It isn't a hardware limitation. The only questions that remain, are if SHIV uses this same/similar engine, and how our newer cards will handle this software limitation. Nobody but the Devs, Ubi, and the Beta testers really know for sure.

If the newer hardware can do both at the same time, and this negates the limitation within the software, then GREAT. I have a shiney new 8800 GTX that hasn't been installed yet just waiting to surface.

However, the hardware can be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but if the software can't do it, the hardware won't be able to change that.

Time will tell.

With regards to your "bloom" question (I'm guessing you are referring to SH3?), I think if you hit it a few times it changes the intensity...until you get to the "off". I haven't checked in a while though, so I'm not positive.

ahh cool, thanks for that, I will try later.

yes, agreed hardware wont help much if it is indeed software limited, oh the complexities of modern submarine warfare!

I don't think we should be worried. The gameplay tralier from gamespot seems to have AA turned on. The cables on the ships look too full and smooth, if AA was turned off they'd appear as pixelated dots.

ATI cards have the "Chuck Patch" built in now to allow both HDR and FSAA

Ark,

2 facts for you:

1) SH4 is based on the SH3 engine. Comparisons to other games are N/A

2) SH3 had software rendered FSAA. I think is was the PgUp and PgDn buttons that regulated FSAA in SH3

Hopefully the above will settle this

Heck,,when I Beta tested ( internal ) "Hidden & Dangerouse 2" we had a pile of NDA's and we signed off "our lives"
