Anti-Aliasing problem!

[Cicilion]

I'll get to the point immediatly: I'm unable to alter and/or deactivate anti-aliasing, and as far as I can tell, anisotropic filtering as well. Changing the settings in the ingame menu has no effect on the game, not after restarting either. Changing the settings in the control panel of my GPU doesn't work either, nor editing the .ini file. It's still smooth, unjagged and beautiful ingame.. but also slow and sluggish! I've downloaded and applied every patch, tried removing them, did a clean install.. and still no effect! Please, help me, for I too want to play this great game with at least a bit acceptable framerate, and this isn't working!

 

My specs:

AMD Athlon 2000+, ~1.8 Ghz

ATi RADEON 9800Pro, 128 MB with Catalyst 5.11

768 MB DDR2 RAM

Nvidia nForce Mb

 

Thanks in advance, Tom

 

PS. I'm a new guy

Erm... Use the ATi Catalyst Control Center and use costum settings in the 3D options to force performance/quality settings. Deselect all the "let the application decide" checkboxes and use settings that favor performance over quality.

As if I didn't try that.. no effect.

Okay, make a back up of your saves and override folder if you have any mods you like to keep. Uninstall the game. Next uninstall the 5.11 drivers and clean the driver registry out completely. Make sure your Nvidia onboard video is also disabled. Remove any GeForce drivers and such as well. ATI and NVidia doesn't mix well together.

 

Reinstall 5.11. Reinstall the game. That should take out any kinks.

I will try that, Hades_One, but only if I have no other choice..

I've never deinstalled any drivers, nor cleaned out my registry before, so please, could you either PM or reply with a step-by-step tutorial how to do it? I'd be most grateful, for this is bugging me a lot, to say the least!

 

Thanks in advance!

Go here for a driver cleaner: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3214.html

 

If that one doesn't help you just do a google search of "Driver Cleaners" and you should get a huge list of links that will help you out. Also you might want to check your BIOS. Some motherbords with onboard graphics have the option to disable there instead of fiddling it on the motherboard itself or in Windows.

 

I know my solution may sound extreme but it what worked for me.
