MLAA/FXAA are inferior to traditional AA in RO2

[Freezy]

Some time ago I made a suggestion for an additional AA method, check out the thread and leave a comment if you want to:

That "enhanced" line in nvidia control panel should override mlaa to csaa. Haven't bothered to compare as playing without menus is tricky. I seem to recall that without overriding with csaa, electric cable in beginning of tutorial looks ugly, with enhanced csaa its ok.

I don't believe it overrides that. MLAA is post processing, it's done after the proper anti-aliasing.

Oh, ok, I see. Well, my observation was correct, then. Csaa indeed improves on the blur-filter. Too bad you don't get rid of blurring.

We did look into this briefly to get the menus working with forced MSAA, but then higher priority things took precedence. Although I can't say for sure if and when this will be fixed, but it is still on our radar.

While you're at it, SMAA should be better shader solution than MLAA/FXAA.. NB, trying that SMAA injector with RO2 would probably get you banned by VAC and/or PB.

Yep you cant use an injector or PB thinks its a hack.. However there are now more efficient versions of the MLAA/FXAA which not only have a better FPS overhead but which actually do the job better..

your response just made my day redeye, thanks!

I have used it both in RO2 and the beta and PB didn't care, but the control panel AA still looks better then SMAA.

Nobody claimed smaa is superior to msaa or variants. Wrt shader AA it's as good as they come at the moment. Injector doesn't support improved modes BTW.

look at this screenshot. There are no annying white lines around objects and characters.
This at 4 MSAA with HIGH FXAA

 

[ightenhill]

how did you this..An injector?

Edit: For the record I want to state that not only does the game look better with traditional AA, but it also performs better on my system in comparison to both FXAA and MLAA.

Is this info still valid after today, because AMD released new Catalyst with great MLAA improvements (up to 80% iperformance increase)?

.. I someone has enough time this should be tested..

So has the issue with the menu for weapons been addressed? I decided to try this again and it doesn't happen anymore. Does forcing AA still work post patch?

Also within the inspector I cannot locate mass effect 1 or 2 for anti-ailising compatibility/behavior flags. I only see mass effect 3. Does it matter what setting I use for that even if I leave it at default?

Menus still do not work properly with forced AA.

is this your screen shot? if so how did you get MSAA to work? i can force it but menu's a blank and i get white lines .... i even tried different AA compatibility bits, but its a no go.

I am curious as to why my menus all work now with forced AA then

what ? menus work now ???

give us your settings

That means the AA didn't work. Use the RO2 compatibility flag.

Remember if your running ATI everything works fine, its just an Nvidia issue.
