Jaggies

Postby Foxtrot Sport » Mon Aug 02, 2004 10:38 pm

Hey,  this may seem a stupid question to most of you but i was wondering how to get rid of the stupid jaggies on the game?  I have been readin around for a solution but nothing really seemed to fit so i thought i would get a first-hand opinion.  My graphics card is a Nvidia w/ about 128 mb power (unsure of actual name) and i have an unfortuante 256 mb of RAM.  If there is anyway to fix the problem let me know otherwise Thanx.  ;D

Not stupid at all.

AntiAliasing is the best solution for that.

Stupid Question Alert

Can't figure out how to change this setting(Anti-Aliasing) on my system.  Is it done via the driver or something else??  

I also have a GeForce 5600 by NVidea.

Anti-Aliasing... how do you modify that from not in the game.  I checked in the windows folder and found nothing I have Windows XP home if that helps. Thanx.  ;D

Right click on the desktop and click properties to get the display properties box to appear...

Next click on settings...

then click advanced...then click on your video card's tab...

This is assuming that you have the latest drivers installed for the card...

Hope this helps...;-)

What resolution do you set you sim at. I use 1600x1200 and only need 2x AA. If you use a lower res. start at 2x try that for a while then switch up. If you're using 1024x768 or lower, I would recommend 8x. If you're in between 4x should be fine. Just make sure you're happy with the result.

I sadly run a 800x600x16 to improve performance.  Still looks much much much better.
