Hi all,
I've been using nHancer to force AA to work with HDR on, and I can confirm it works. However, the weird thing is since the last Trinity update (The last one before Empyrean Age was deployed), AA will not work in windowed mode. This is pretty disappointing because I run in 1680x1050 on my 1920x1200 screen in a window so I can multitask when I have downtime. I can simply alt-enter to go into fullscreen and bam AA is on. And disabling HDR doesn't seem to change anything so it's just the fact that it's running in a window.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm sure that many others who run windowed mode also enjoy AA . |

EDIT: No change after disabling the Enhance option :( Just to check, it does automatically update right? there isn't some magical "turn on custom settings" button is there?
Then I would go and disable everything not immediately needed.
I.e.: - On the "Compatibility" tab, uncheck "force mimaps". - On the "Optimizations" tab, uncheck everything - On the "Enhancements" tab, uncheck everything except for "anti-aliasing", and pick a non-combined mode for starters, like 2x2 SS or 4x MS.
Then, if you get it to work, you can slowly start adding stuff back, and see where it breaks.
8xS combined is lousy anyway because it gobbles up performance but only supersamples the horizontal edges, and not the vertical ones. That's why it says "1x2 SS" - it means that the image is rendered at normal horizontal and double vertical resolution and then shrunk down to fit the monitor, thus reaching much less pixellated horizontal edges.
If you want the whole image supersampled, you need to choose 2x2 or 4x4 so that the entire image is rendered in double or quad resolution (poor graphics card ).
Or you simply use multisampling alone, which works by blurring the colors along polygon edges, making the 'staircases' much less obvious. it takes a lot less performance (4xMS goes faster than 2x2 SS), but if you're picky, it doesn't look as good (because well, you don't get perfectly sharp edges anymore).
Thanks for the tips :) But sadly even with EVERYTHING unticked except AA (SS 4x4) and AA compatibility (45) it still doesn't work... Got why did nVIDIA have to break nTune, used to work straight off the bat with that... |

FINALLY got this thing going. Had to make sure to set the nVidia Control Panel to the default Global settings as well as the EVE default settings. After that, any change I made in nHancer worked in EVE.
Here are two screenshots with FPS displayed(Warning: They are 1920x1200, so unless you zoom them up to full-size they may look like garbage on your monitor)

Edited by: Jolliejoe on 13/06/2008 08:41:19 Never worked for me... Using the latest nhancer, eVGA 8800 GTX and such.. Still no AA+HDR...
Anyway, setting AA to more than 4x with 2 clients running on my quad core and 4 gigs of RAM reduces the eve client to a slideshow like 18 fps thingy...
Also HDR gives very weird display artifacts...

Edited by: Overmaster on 13/06/2008 12:53:46 Thanks to the OP for this.
Any word on a solution for windowed mode? I run one client 1680x1050 windowed, using either eveMon or startEve to fit the window to the screen. I seem to remember having AA in windowed mode pre "fancy pants" client.
It would be a beautiful thing. Minmatar ships need AA to smooth out the jagged lines.

Same here - I wish I could get AA and HDR in windowed mode so bad. I have a 1920x1200 monitor but I run in EVE in a 1680x1050 window so I can access my second monitor and multitask; you can't use a second monitor in fullscreen unless you minimize .
AA + HDR definitely works using nHancer as long as the "Obivion (AA & HDR)" compatibility mode is selected, but only works in fullscreen. I don't think It's really a problem with the EVE client as much as a driver issue. I say this because during my fiddling with nHancer I discovered that sometimes AA actually wouldn't work in fullscreen (only in windowed mode) depending on what anti-aliasing compatibility mode you had selected. For example, "00000000 General Compatiblity" fixed that. My guess is that for some reason the "0xf0000045" compatibility mode is somehow not programmed to work in windowed mode.
I hope that makes sense what I said above. I'm going to open up a couple other games including Oblivion that use HDR, to test and see if the 0xf0000045 mode is the stumbling block keeping it from working in windowed mode

Slapnuts, Can I see what you set nTune to? I think mine may not be working because they are conflicting. --------------------

I don't use ntune...it's a piece of garbage and only causes bluescreen crashes on Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I use the EVGA Precision app to overclock my card and set the fans. I set the nVidia Control Panel to all the default settings, and then changed my settings in nHancer.

I think nTune IS the nVIDIA control panel, I have a short cut to it on my desktop and it takes me to the exact same thing lol.
Would you be able to show me what you clicked please? I know it's a bit irritating but I <3 AA

Not exactly, it's an extension to the control panel. That can auto-tune your settings (in theory).

Today I had to reinstall windows, and along with that a bunch of program updates that were long overdue. I hadn't played EVE in one month+ so I had to update to the new expansion. At the same time I also updated nHancer. I don't know which update is the culprit, but I no longer have AA in EVE. It's the same settings I used in Trinity. Is there anything that needs to be changed for the new expansion or the new nhancer?

Edited by: kryptteacher on 05/07/2008 15:36:58 just wanted to say thanks to the original poster for putting up this info. my TV only gets 1360x768 or some such and AA is a must for me. using the 0xf0000045 hex value for HDR+AA i can run the game w/HDR +AA and not get artifacts.
i run 2x9800 GTX in sli.

Hahahaa! Whats up with the crap ram? lmao. And you can just throw away the PhysX card. All it's doing is taking up space and it doesn't work on most games anyway. Add to that the fact that soon nVidia will release drivers that enable physx support for all 8-series or higher cards.

4GB of 800MHz ram. Utterly useless. Even at the lowest possible timing for DDR2 ram the performance is crap.

Awesome. 16x AA works fine for me, but the second HDR turns on, my fps drops from 40 to 5. Running a laptop with a 8800m gts, 3gb ram, and a 1.8ghz dual core (Yes, bad processor is bad). I think my compter just can't handle both

Sadly, I don't think so. Seems like nobody have gotten it to work windowed in quite some time.

From what I've heard you can get AA+HDR to work in windowed mode if you use 0xF0000045 compatibility (notice the F in the beginning). Never tried it myself though.

No, the 0xF0000045 compatibility setting is to avoid the flashing white boxes that may appear when using AA+HDR and your ship is cloaked. So sadly not |

Edited by: TheRealBanana1 on 18/07/2008 17:13:24 Ah HA! I finally got AA working. I updated to the 177.41 nvidia driver, which didn't help initially. But then I unchecked "Enhance in-game AA" in nHancer and now I have AA. Im so happy <3. Screenshots:
No Anti-Aliasing 16x CSAA Anti-Aliasing
And 0xf0000045 got rid of the cloaked glitches. Awesome.

Look at OP.
This is the fix: You can enter hexadecimal value into the AA compatibility box. Try 0xf0000045 , with this value AA + HDR is working and no white flashing bug.
*bump*...yeah, that setting doesn't work for me...still get the white blobs...i guess i'll have to find my own, cuz the other AA&HDR settings don't work either...why can't the settings ever be the same for everybody?
