GuillimanT Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 @ the OP. I've had my AA forced x12 since I bought the game and have been running things just fine. The difference between my setup and yours is as follows: My CPU actually has L3 cache. My CPU is faster than yours. My CPU isn't 4 years old. My GPU benchmarks 43.9% better than yours in 3d applications My GPU isn't 3 years old. My GPU doesn't run hotter than 1000 suns. Well argumented responds, how good for you. Want a cookie?

ptwonline Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 You could also argue that a single player game should not have a subscription fee, but i won't, wrong thread for that. Well, since this is a multiplayer game with pretty much all of the standard MMO multiplayer features and plenty of multiplayer quests and incentives, it would be rather silly to talk about single player games here anyway.

Thormart Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 works for me. Cleared away all the jagged edges that i had before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kringlorr Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I notice absolutely no difference. What in the hell is going on at Bioware right now? I'm losing my faith quickly... This is coming from a die hard Bioware and Star Wars fan. How do you patch something into the game and not even have it working? If you're 'losing faith' over anti-aliasing then I don't think you're a 'die hard fan'. Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexonLightsaber Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Don't you people have jobs?? Surely you guys have other things to be bothered with in life than complaining about "my game doesn't look pretty" I have a job posting on this forum, its volunteer work however.

Kookus Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Well argumented responds, how good for you. Want a cookie? The point I think he was trying to make is that the OP's PC is outdated, and s/he should not expect to be able to run a modern video game on high graphics settings without some kind of performance hit. This is relevant to the discussion... cookies are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorun Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 You people are dense. The reason they removed the AA was because it put unnecessary strain on peoples machines. You got your wish now, you don't have the right to whine. Because of the engine they used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rykzon Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Well it is in the game, but its not that big of a different. Look at those two screenshots i made. First with high AA second without AA.http://imgur.com/sYMER,OS38F But i feel like loading time has increased tho... edit: wrong picture order *lol* Edited January 18, 2012 by Rykzon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thradar Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 80% drop in fps. running a Q9550 at 3.6ghz; GTX 285, 8gig of 4-4-4-12 800 memory and rest isn't important setup. Fix it. Thanks. I'm not going to pay for a game that has no basic game features. Especially one that looks like it should run on 5y old machines. Works fine on my machine. Framerate unchanged. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshella Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Tbh i cant see any difference between the aa settings at all, fps are exactly the same no matter the setting. AA works if i force it trough catalyst so either im blind or there is no ingame aa, atleast for us ati people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the right shoulder of your character, see the jagged lines for the edges. Now enable it High and look at the same spot. It goes from really jagged lines, to smoother lines. If you seriously can't notice that... then I have no other advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghaiana Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I don't think the AA implementation is horrible. I'm sure people are having problems, due to their system or maybe because they altered settings before. And maybe the odd person has real problems with the new update. Before you say that BW did a horrible job, you might take some time to take a look at your system. I can't understand that people always start to point at gamemakers within a hour after an update.

DarkSeverance Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ehm works fine for me in germany I would hope so. I would hope that you wouldn't get SPAMed with information about contacting your Senator. hehehe but yeah for anyone in the US it doesn't work. Have another link?

vizionblind Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 yep, frame rate went to crap with built in AA. Was fine when i used ATI control panel AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSeverance Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 yep, frame rate went to crap with built in AA. Was fine when i used ATI control panel AADid you remember to disable your changes in the ATI Control Panel and put it back to default and application controlled (and by settings, I mean all of the modifications if you made any, not just AA) and then utilize it through the game settings only. I had to do that on my wifes computer to get it to work, without it effecting her performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemian Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I know what AA does. It simply isn't working. As someone above me mentioned I have to force it through my graphics card settings for it to work. I have an AMD 6970 card. Anyone else running on AMD/ATI and having issue with it not working at all? I could see a difference, but CCC did a much better job (no shimmering) so I turned it off in game and forced it through the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andryah Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Disable AA through preferences while you are your character select screen. Look at the right shoulder of your character, see the jagged lines for the edges. Now enable it High and look at the same spot. It goes from really jagged lines, to smoother lines. If you seriously can't notice that... then I have no other advice. Confirmed. Also, I got about 10% improvement in average fps in this new client. So overall things are moving up and to the right on Biowares part. People having issues with AA likely it is due to having previously forced AA outside the game. Revert and then retry and see if that clears it up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavensTerror Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 AA is garbage on my pc for some reason. No AA I get 70 fps. With it I get 25... As can you tell by my pc specs in my sig. It shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDCowboy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 There is almost zero difference with AA if it even does anything. I expect "high" AA to have much better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agarwaenn Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) After looking over this thread it seems the in-game AA is may be working for Nvida card users, but does nothing for some AMD cards. I can see no difference turning the AA option on or off. System spec: i5-2500K, HD Radeon 6950 2 GB, 8 GB ram. New, fresh drivers. I even deleted and let the game create a new Client_settings file. Going back to forcing AA with C.C.C. - Game looks great, 60 fps (v-sync) Edited January 18, 2012 by Agarwaenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you seriously can't notice that... then I have no other advice. To be fair, some of the objects show very little difference with AA turned on. Just a moment ago I was looking at some of the angled lines of the floor on Nar Shaddaa and they are ridiculously blocky because the textures are so stretched. Is AA supposed to fix that? It's definitely not doing it, but those are some of the most obvious jaggies that people will see. Other areas do seem to look smoother though.
