Nvidia and AMD Anti-Aliasing and SweetFX Guide

[Asuka~]

...So, is this topic still alive? If not, is it safe to necro-post?

Should be fine.

Should be fine.

Thanks.

So, how's SweetFX still going with the latest updates Sega implemented to PSO2? Gameguard still making it really hard?

Thanks.

Gameguard never really made it hard though, it's more of RadeonPro hooking on or not that's the problem.
And it still works

Joy. Looking great as usual, Sizustar.

Thank you for this guide. I'd used salon pass after salon pass trying to figure out what was wrong with my character, and then I finally realized that it was PSO2's crappy antialiasing that was causing her to look so much different in the world vs. in the salon.

Now I'm antialiasing via nVidia Inspector and not only does my character look like she should, the game world looks much better in the overall.

Hello. I don't know if any of you could help me but i recently tried to use sweetfx. Unfortunately after the setup my game just crashes on a blank black screen at the start. I have ran the troubleshooting on the tweeker with no luck Any help would really be appreciated.

@Ark01000

Which Anti Aliasing setup are you using? Default (though NOT recommended, it's plain awful)? SMAA/FXAA or both via RadeonPro? SGSSAA? MSAA + SSAA? OGSSAA? DSR? VSR (if you are using AMD)? If it's MSAA + SSAA, SSAA, or SMAA/FXAA or both, then try decreasing the LOD Bias depending on how many samples of any of these Anti-Aliasing methods you're using, either via RadonPro or Inspector. 2x = -.5 LOD Bias, 4x = -1.0, and 8x = -1.5. That usually gets rid of the blank black screen problem for me. If it's a SweetFX issue, are you using SweetFX 1.4 with RadeonPro? Otherwise it won't work, or in your case, may cause a blank screen crash of sorts. Can't answer for DSR/VSR, though I find any Nvidia Driver above 347.88 unacceptable and pretty much defective for my GTX 960. But otherwise, yes.

Hi, I recently started using DSR with this game and I love it.

However, I have a question about using combined AA. Does the Super Sampling AA setting affect my combined AA settings? Or does the game ignore the super sample setting?

My global super sample setting is x4 since I like all of my games to run with SSAAx4.

So basically my setup for most games is MSAAx8 and SSAAx4.

However pso2 is different since I need to use combined anti aliasing setting.
