amagad Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hi, i have an ati 4870 card for DCS (English Version) but I just cant get the anti-aliasing to work in the game. I tried playing around with the control panel and I tried different drivers but non of them work. I also installed the ati hotfix which made it work untill I upgraded to the Nov release of DirectX 9. Also sometimes when i rollback the drivers i get AA to work the first time I run the game but thats it, after i quit or restart the pc is over. I dont know what else to do, any help? I also reinstalled the game. System is XP pro SP2 2 GB Ram AMD dual core at 3.2 GHZ Asus P7P55D Pro Intel i7 @ 4.0 GHZ 8gb xms ddr3 memory 500gb SATA HD ATI 5870 27" Dell LCD Monitor Thermaltake Black Widow 850W HOTAS WartHog Thrustmaster MFD's 8" lcd monitors x2 (mfd) Saitek Cyborg Keyboard TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zembla Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Are you using ATI Tray Tools? ATi Control Panel is what you mean, and he already said he's using it :) Tbh Amagad, ATi drivers and their inability to force AA have been around for a while now. Depending on which game you try it on, it'll work, either marginally, or not at all. More cases not though. There was a thread about this on the ATi forums a while back, clicky. Though I'm hearing later versions of nVidia drivers suffer from the same impediment. -Z [sigpic][/sigpic] I aaaaaam ... a banana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 ATi Control Panel is what you mean, and he already said he's using it :) Not the Catalyst Control Centre - ATT is an independant, third-party utility that does the same, if not better, job than the CCC :) Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

anlq Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 This's how I solved my same problem ! Maybe this will help, first you should remove current driver, remember to remove everything include Profiles. - Then install driver from the CD comes along with your Card - Create new profile with appropriate AA, AF setting - Run the game several times to check whether the game runs properly with AA,AF on. - If it's ok, restart the PC. - You now can update your driver with new software from vendor's website.
