Is Anti Aliasing supposed to work after the new patch?

Also, I remember reading somewhere that we'd have AA with the new graphic engine.

If it does actually work, can someone please describe how they got it to work?

I've tried both in-game settings (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, none of them works), and nvidia driver settings.

I'm using the FXAA injector (or whatever it's called) to get post AA effect. With it turned off, I have zero AA, regardless of in-game / driver configuration.

Any ideas?

My box: win 7 64, 8 GB ram, i7 870, GTX 460 1 GB

The NVIDIA beta drivers that just came out have FXAA and after I installed them the FXAA smoothed the jaggies for me at a little fps hit.

Others have reported the same sucess.

For me I only use FXAA, the AA option is application controlled in the nvidia panel and off in game.

There is a profile called WRC 2010 in the programs list of the nvidia panel, use that one.

Good luck!

They said before the patch that SLI and AA was still not working. That being said I have an Nvidia card also and the AA does work on the cockpit. This is without forcing anything in the driver or using FXAA. In game settings only....The FXAA works too but it makes text too blurry for me.

Thanks, I must have missed that. Anyhow, I do use FXAA from a dll that someguy had originally developed for use with ArmA II. It sure is better than nothing.

Unlike you, however, I have zero AA in cockpit (unless I use FXAA). Maybe something's amiss at my end. Not sure what it is tho.

But I have noticed something interesting. My performance with the patch has improved over time That is, initially I had worse FPS and stutters and a couple of CTDs. But now (after maybe 2 hours of on and off flying), I have slightly higher FPS, hardly any stutters, and no CTDs (at least none over two hours yesterday evening on ATAG).

This game really baffles me

S!

My guess is that the performance improves because some things are already in the memory thus not needed to be loaded next time you fly. Just a guess..

You might be right. Although I have CoD on a ~500MB read/write SSD, caching does appear to be more important to performance in CoD than most other games.

Before the patch when I turn on the AA in game it would always say AA=2 in the config file. Even if I set it to 8x
Now when I change it in game the config file matches the in game setting. AA can now equal 0,1,2,3,4 in the conf.ini Or 0,1x,2x,4x,8x in the game menu

Hard for me to tell any difference between 1x and 8x though...
I still just turn it off and use FXAA injector by someguy

Same here, unfortunately. I hope LOD issues are on the devs' fix list also.

I hate losing sight of the enemy aircraft just before the merge.
