You actually have to completely disable any in game or video card forced AA for this to work. The difference is night and day for me, this thing really ought to be stickied. It completely eliminates jaggies for me, other than with wires as has been mentioned. But that is really to do with the thickness of the wire as defined in game.

Hi,

I found out this fxaa does not work with FRAPS. After I installed the last Beta- patch I was wondering why it was not possible to switch fxaa on. Tried without FRAPS and voila, works again!

Space Communist, what Video card are you using and what are the settings? I have not been able to get my card to force AA on the game at all. The in game 1X and 2X settings work (a little) but I have not been able to get any more AA than that.

Thanks

I have a 560 Ti, but I am not forcing anything in the nvidia control panel, I am using the FSAA files at the beginning of this thread. AA is turned off completely in game and in my nvidia control panel. I just hit pause/break (I think that's the key by default?) to activate and it works like a charm.

Also others seem to be talking about combining these files with other anti aliasing, but I seem to recall the readme said to disable all other AA. That said I have not actually tried combining the effects.

on my system ingame 4xAA and FXAA works together with additional aa-effect. But its not enough on 1680x1050 res

@shotglass
my fraps works without probs together with FXAA.

Hi all. I’ve been using this since Shea first posted (thanks, BTW

), and it works great. There is a negligible loss in frame rate, but it does compromise text slightly in much the same way as AMD’s MFAA (but not nearly as much). Since CloD currently only supports 2xAA that’s all you get, but it’s miles better than none.
