Forcing FSAA for ATI card in Frontlines?

[WhiskeySix]

I recently switched from Nvidia to ATI, and am wondering about how to setup game-specific settings. In the Nvidia control panel, you can assign 'profiles' to games and force full screen anti-aliasing that way. Is there a way to do that using the ATI Catalyst Control Center? I don't see anything, but maybe I'm missing something?

for NVidia cards

In the beta this procedure worked for forcing AA on for NVidia cards

click start
click control panel
click appearance & themes
click nvidia control panel
you should now get something very similar to the pick below
Find FFoW in the list of programs to override
select the five settings to over-ride as in the picture below
click apply

In the beta FFoW was not in the list and the workaround was to click 'add' click desktop, select the FFoW desktop icon

for ATI cards

best info i could find is 'ATI will support AA in Unreal 3 games with the upcoming Catalyst 8.3' this statement was from non-ATI employee and non-kaos employee, ie a gamer like you or me. He could well be right though

from this post in this thread

I used the bioshock.exe trick, worked just fine for me.


Rename your FFOW.exe to bioshock.exe, and then add that in your nvidia control panel, and force aa. AF has never been to big of a issue for me, as it just blurs the textures once you get to far away, I don't mind it at all, AA however, just makes the image very clean.

AF has very little affect on your fps though, so at least 8x is very doable and you might as well.

Actually, I'm not sure if its this patch or not, but bioshock.exe trick does not seem to work now.

This release of Catalyst™ introduces anti-aliasing support for all Unreal Engine 3.0 based games (running in DirectX 9 mode). Users can enable Anti-Aliasing for titles such as Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3 by simply enabling Anti-Aliasing within the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center.

This release of Catalyst™ allows users to enable narrow tent and wide tent Anti-Aliasing custom filters while running in the CrossFire™ Super Anti-Aliasing modes, (for DirectX9 applications) providing an improved image quality experience.

Full details here!


When you try enabling FSAA, let us know how it goes (and post some screenies!)

Omg that's awesome. I'm gonna download it when i get home tonight. I wish I could run Crossfire. I would love to see the game with that!

[Redginald]

I'm not so sure it actually forced it. The AA still doesn't work in the game, not mine anyway. Anyone else try it?

[WhiskeySix]

Yep - Doesn't work for me either... :/
