[Linux] Missing Anti-Aliasing

[dscharrer]

Anti-Aliasing on characters does not seem to work for me - see the attached screenshot (cropped for file size - didn't want to use lossless compression), especially the sword on the right and the guy on the bottom left. It gets much more annoying in-game when things move around.

 

I've tried manually setting

msaa 8

in the game's console (and also with all the other powers of two from 1-16), but there is no effect.

 

PoE version v1.0.2.0508 (but I also saw this in the backer beta)

OS: Linux (Gentoo)

Graphics hardware: AMD Radeon HD 7950

Graphics driver: radeonsi (recently built from git - Mesa b5f19db, LLVM r232378)

Unity's Player.log

 

There is also no anti-aliasing with the Catalyst 14.12 driver.

Same for me. Without AA this game does not look as charming as it should.

There is a workaround for Nvidia cards: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/30dysl/pillars_of_eternity_is_ready/cpsp0hr

Seems like it blurs the background a bit, but I think it looks better anyway.

It seems that choosing a non native resolution actually made the antialiasing working.

On my 1600x1200 screen, choose anything lower "fixes" antialiasing issue (nvidia blob)

on a 1366x768 laptop (intel hd4000) choosing 1280x720 (or lower) make antialias work.

 

Of course this is not a solution, but maybe this information could help devs to narrow down the issue or open the way to new workarounds...

This hack fixes it for the open-source drivers on Linux.
