Regarding the whining about anti aliasing not working....

Question

Does forcing AA on with Nvidia Inspector work as it did for IL-2 1946?

My old comp did not run Clod well so I never tried it but I just built a new comp and am waiting for a dang wireless networking card to come in so I can load "steam" on it.

XXX are you saying?
I play with AA in-game and it works, its a mod and you can find it in this forum

that isnt proper AA, the main prob is people are forced to use low resolutions for dot visibility which inturn increases the jaggies ten fold.

Oki fair enough. But when did last get a check-up at your eyesight? Sorry - Cut not resists.
I clearly see a huge diffident between have it or not have it. Im using "injectSMAA_by_mrhaandi_1.2" at the moment to compensate for the leak of AA in the Sim. It work great. Try it out and see if it all looks the same for you Mate.

Must give that a try thanks. My card is so poor I must run at 1280 something and adding AA would probably kill it completely but it's worth a try.

Take a look here. ACE-OF-ACES did a great post there and it worked well for me.

Ok, here we go with some 3d history that can help you to understand the state in the 3d industry about AA.

AA was introduced some years ago in the fixed pipeline as a hardware/driver feature, so developers just needed to tell the GPU to activate it and the GPU did all the work. You even could activate or deactivate it from your GPU driver configuration. That is how fixed pipeline engines worked and still works. Of course in fixed pipeline engines developers are limited to what drivers and hardware can do (no great fX or effects, only common and standard things). Now we have non fixed pipeline engines, wich works with shaders, where developers can (and have to!) control all about the rendering process, which is extremely more complicated and time consuming, but we can have bump mapping, nice reflections and plenty of other nice FX, only limited by imagination, hardware processing time and time to develop and optimice it. Important thing is that now all is coded by developers, including AA. In this kind of egines AA is no more automatic and need to be manually coded as post process filter over the whole image. Thats why even if you turn on AA in drivers configuration in no fixed pipeline engines it do nothing. Hardware do no calculate it automatically anymore, not AA, not anything. Coding AA filter shader is not easy if you want it to be efficient and not blurring all the image. You need to identificate manually all edges and so on... So give devs a break, things are not easy anymore as we ask for more fx and eyecandy. It can be done, but need time if you also want a lot of fps.

AA is for plebs. Buy a bigger video card , buy a "27+ monitor , and you wont need AA.

It does not have anti aliasing - yet... The "are working on it". So please give the poor sods at MG some slack as having both AA and other GPU effects at the same time is obviously not "just a switch"...

Yes it does. It means CoD is worse than SWTOR. At least you can force it on that game.
