Kraylessa Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I rather cry on the forums about it, thank you There are two legitimate reasons to be unhappy with the ini editing solution. First of all, we shouldn't have to hack ini files to access a basic game feature. Secondly, we don't know whether or not doing so might be a violation of the TOS/EULA or a bannable offense.

Toneth Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Don't change the .ini file if you have an ATI graphics card. Use the Catalyst Control Center only. Changing the .ini file is for nVidia cards only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAnaethil Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Don't change the .ini file if you have an ATI graphics card. Use the Catalyst Control Center only. Changing the .ini file is for nVidia cards only you can change the ini file as long as you have "use application settings" checked in catalyst.

BeeblesTV Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 So, AA didn't make it into launch. I have to say, that's incredibly disappointing. It also looks like the "high definition textures" people talked about in Beta didn't make it in either. It seems pretty ridiculous that a 2011 (almost 2012) game doesn't have anti-aliasing! You thought the mythical golden fix everything patch the 'its beta' crowd talked about was a reality? Ha, Ha, Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayLoud Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Haven't read the whole thread, so I don't know if this has been said or not. James Ohlen (Game Director) said this in an interview only 3 days ago... http://pc.ign.com/articles/121/1214438p1.html IGN: For graphics options, will there be any additional tweak options you can make just in the menu aside from what we've seen in beta when the game goes live? James Ohlen: We have some. Some of the textures we had were messed up a little, we've fixed that up. Anti-aliasing is something that we're going to have in either right after launch or for launch. It's just something that we had on very late so that's another graphical option that you're going to be able to have access to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekell Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 First two waves have already been invited. But the real launch hasn't happened yet launch is on the 20th not 13th this is like an open beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The screenshots and promotional movies of SWTOR all look amazing so those textures and AA must be somewhere, maybe they are fine tweaking the client/engine for their use before releasing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truedark Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yay a useless aesthetic feature isn't in the game. Seriously, complaining about no AA is like complaining there is no slight blue tint to the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharma Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 being able to hack an INI file to enable anti aliasing means AA is a feature ALREADY IN GAME, just not yet supported/enabled for official use. So yes, saying that it could be in by launch is a very real possibility. no 'magic patch' necessary, just a small tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sicae Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks for the advice on Catalyst. Still a shame this isn't supported in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it won't prevent me from enjoying the game enough to waste a ton of time on it, it is a great disappointment that neither of those features are in for release. (Unless they are planning some "day 1 patch" on the 20th.) For those like me, with Nvidia cards, AA can be forced on through the Nvidia control panel. This is what I'll end up doing. I'll probably also end up maxing out the texture filtering in the Nvidia control panel as well. Edited December 13, 2011 by Wapner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatmiser Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 First thing I looked for this morning was AA I was sad, but things still looked decent. I was just happy to log in with no problem, start playing and enjoy myself! (I'm a bit jaded about launches... this was the smoothest I've ever felt.. *Yes I know real launch is the 20th...but whatevs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baleur Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 lol..no AA? how about DX10-11 support? it's not 2003 BW... Who cares about dx10-11 that adds next to no valuable asthetic visuals at all? AA is by far the most important graphics option in any game, it does not just improve eyecandy, it helps every single object in the game blend well together and fit in the environment. It helps immersion by not having flickering jaggy pixels everywhere screaming "THIS IS A GAME" in your face everytime you move the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remidi Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yay a useless aesthetic feature isn't in the game. Seriously, complaining about no AA is like complaining there is no slight blue tint to the screen. WRONG We play on PC's for a reason. Those of us with high end rigs and big monitors need AA on in our games or it is a jaggy mess. Sorry that it does not bother you, but it bothers many others users and it is far from useless. I can't stand not being able to have AA on. AA is a big reason why many gamers stay up to date with new GPU's...its AA. Complaining about people complaining about common place PC graphic options is pretty stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Ohlen said it will be in by launch (20th), or soon after launch. I can wait another week or two for AA. I'm just happy that it's going to be included as an in-game (non-forced) option.

Its stupid to waste development resources on something that can be forced using the GPU's control center. Why should Bioware or any company waste valuable man hours implementing it when the company who makes your GPU likely allows you to force it?
