Eraggan Sadarr Phoenix Tribe	Posted - 2007.12.04 20:53:00 - [1] I was so annoyed when i discovered that i couldn't use Antialiasign with the new HDR capabilities (Read: Bloom) of the Trinity engine, that i set out to find how to make it work....HACK Well there is a well known application for nvidia cards called nHancer. This app has a compatability fix that makes it work I'll let the picture speak for itself: Linkage Eve Market Scanner

I have an ati card (radeon x1950) any similar trick to allow me to do the same? Originally by: Tuxford Sure play gallente and caldari if you like, just don't be upset when I waste your ass in a hurricane.

And your comp confiq of course thanks I can tell you, with an 8800GTX, it will slow down a bit with 16x AA and extreme shadowing. That said, i have been fighting lagless with those settings at FFA1 with about 5 people and 25 drones there Turn the setting in the top right of the program as seen here. AA and HDR will be working on supported cards then (note that this is probably only the 8xxx series of nvidia and up. It is said that ati cards from x1000 and up support it, but i have yet to see a work around like this to make it actually work....) _______ Sign my sig!
Tanksmann	Posted - 2007.12.04 21:45:00 - [6] exactly what setting did you use under the Enhancements tab? I have SLi so I click Sli radio button then the 16x option. What setting did you use for your setup Eraggan?

HydroSan GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.12.04 23:56:00 - [13] Going to have to try it with my 7800 GTX.
Simplus Massive	Posted - 2007.12.04 23:58:00 - [14] Finally! Yes! Thanks to the OP. I'm running happily on the following in-game settings: Shadow Quality: High Cache Size: Extreme Screen 1: 1920 x 1200 (Window Mode through EVE Launcher) Screen 2: 1600 x 1200 (Window Mode through EVE Launcher) nHancer settings: Anti-Aliasing: 8x Multisampling with Gamma Correction & SuperTransparency. Anisotropic Filtering: 8x Anti-Aliasing Compatibility: Oblivion (AA & HDR) High Dynamic Range (HDR): Checked This is running on a Windows Vista Ultimate x86, P4 4.41GHz, 3GB RAM & a BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768MB PCIe. Works like a charm!
Crux Australis MotorSaikol LadrUNZ Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.04 23:59:00 - [15] Since I just looked like a noob here (lol)... anything for the ATI users? show me the ♥ !

Simplus Massive	Posted - 2007.12.05 00:14:00 - [16] There might just be a little something for ATI-users to enable the Oblivion workaround in a similar manner as for the NVIDIA-cards: AMD ATi Knowledge Base - 737-21960: Catalyst Beta 6.9 for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - aka The Chuck Patch bit-tech.net - ATI delivers AA+HDR for Oblivion Just Google away, there are tons of info on the subject.

As far as i know this is now integrated into the regular catalyst drivers. Forcing AA through the catalyst panel doesn't seem to do the trick though. After comparing full AA without HDR and HDR with full AA it looks to me like the AA gets disabled by turning HDR on regardless. Using Ati Tray Tools to force AA doesn't seem to make them work together either. [Using an x1950 (512mb)]

TomParad0x Caldari Angels of the Apocolypse	Posted - 2007.12.05 01:57:00 - [19] Edited by: TomParad0x on 05/12/2007 01:59:54 Edited by: TomParad0x on 05/12/2007 01:57:49 Can some one else with an 8800GTX check their temps while using this? I used it when the Trinity 2 / graphics updates first got on SiSi, and I'm not 100% sure why, but with the latest beta drivers + nHancer my graphics temps went up to 94C(And wernt done rising). Now, not to say this is 100% the program (May / may not be, I don't know - thats why im asking for others to see their temps), but I find it odd my temps went up 15C+ after installing it - and went back down to normal after uninstalling it and reinstalling my graphics drivers. (Edit: And before anyone tells me 8800 GPUs are safe at that temp - I know. It's not the temp that bothers me, its the fact it rose only after I installed that program, and didn't look to be done rising).

Eraggan Sadarr Phoenix Tribe	Posted - 2007.12.06 10:49:00 - [21] Well, i havn't had time to do some dumps of my settings since last post. But my machine specs are: Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.4 GHz OC 2GB Corsair terminator Geforce 8800GTS 640MB version Running at 2x(1600x1200) Dual monitor. Eve running full screen on primary monitor. Eve settings: Shadows: High Cache: extreme HDR: enabled ... doh Bloom: high (Remember that bloom is resolution dependent and not scene complexity dependent) But i noticed when i installed the full version of trinity for TQ that i had to mess around with the settings a bit before i got it to nice AA and HDR actually working. I'm not too fond of my fps though... i get around 30-35fps inside and outside of station, but i havnt tried it with several ships on TQ. Will post some screens of my nhancer settings when i get home tonight. BTW: I know of no fix for ATI...sorry Eve Market Scanner
Fjord Beukman Point-Zero SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:18:00 - [22] I'm confused, why do you need the nHancer program to make those changes. You can do that from the Nvidia Control Panel, under program settings.
Katana Seiko Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:28:00 - [23] Maybe he doesn't know how to use ie? Maybe he wants to turn all our PCs into Bots and form his own Botnet by infecting us all by an infected nHancer Tool. Nobody knows. I hope for the first option... --- This is your Captain speaking.

You can do that from the Nvidia Control Panel, under program settings. You cannot set the HDR + AA compatibility in the control panel, it's a hidden setting somehow... So until CCP contacts nVidia on the issue and have the setting defaultly applied to the eve client, this is the only work around. Also, if you check that compatiblitity setting, check the AA setting on the enhancements tab too to activate AA. Just checking the compatibility isn't enough... _______ Sign my sig!

IceAero Amarr Shadow Company	Posted - 2007.12.06 16:14:00 - [27] A little note on getting this to work.... (Because I could not get it to work all day) But I think I know why =) It needs to be pointed to 'evefile.exe' not the 'eve.exe' that it defaults too! Or am I nuts? =p

Greylin	Posted - 2007.12.06 16:54:00 - [30] ok another question do I turn HDR on in the game or no? my game crashes if I try to run it in fullscreen and I'm not sure if its doing anything in windowed. But if I turn HDR on in windowed my AA definatly goes away and I think my nHancer settings are correct

But if I turn HDR on in windowed my AA definatly goes away and I think my nHancer settings are correct Turn HDR off in EVE & let nHancer do the work. Also, with these settings, I've noticed that when I launch EVE, the AA is not activated. Just 'Esc' out & hit one of the apply buttons in the graphics settings without doing any changes, 'Esc' out again. That should do it.
Greylin	Posted - 2007.12.06 17:25:00 - [32] ok now I added the evefile.exe to the profile in nHancer for eve and it seems to be forcing me into fullscreen mode and i cant change it. any way to fix this?
Simplus Massive	Posted - 2007.12.06 17:47:00 - [33] Edited by: Simplus Massive on 06/12/2007 17:49:05 That sounds weird, you sure it's nHancer forcing this? Friend of mine had similar things happening & was ****ed at the EVE Launcher app not letting him keep EVE maximized with the "Semi-full screen" mode using a dual screen setup (client minimizes if running fullscreen & clicking on secondary display window). Turns out he constantly forgot to press "Apply" when setting window-mode in the EVE graphics configuration :) I'm not saying you are doing something similar, just asking if you think you've eliminated the most obvious (and therefore maybe easily overlooked) possibilties since I've never heard nHancer can even force a resolution?

Emerald Cortess Caldari Konstrukteure der Zukunft	Posted - 2007.12.06 19:23:00 - [35] Hello there! I want to have both HDR and AA. It works fine with nhancer, but ONLY in fullscreen.

Sivlar Sylvannathas Gallente Placid Reborn Coalition Of Empires	Posted - 2007.12.06 19:43:00 - [36] Have not checked yet, but won't the NVidia control panel work for this? If you force those settings under the program/game list?

I use Normal shadows and Low bloom. I get between 40-60fps when sitting in a large POS bubble with all the POS modules about, and that's about as "bad" as it gets.

It works fine with nhancer, but ONLY in fullscreen. That's odd, the first time I ran EVE Trinity (TQ) under nHancer, it opened in windowed mode, but I prefer full screen. It was no big deal though, alt+enter toggles between full and windowed, no problem. -- Guile can always trump hardware --
Emerald Cortess Caldari Konstrukteure der Zukunft	Posted - 2007.12.06 20:10:00 - [39] hm... when i choose "supersampling 4x S" it's all fine in fullscreen, but kind of wierd in windowed mode... i mean, it DOES something... it all looks kind of softer, but more like running a tft with a lower resolution than the native one.

Do you notice any difference in Eve performance depending on where the HDR is activated? The reason I ask is that pre-Trinity EVE gave me better framerates if FSAA was activated via the drivers vs. Eve's graphics settings. No, I cannot activate HDR ingame since it then turns off any AA set through the drivers. The only way to get HDRI working for me has been to disable it in EVE & force it with the nHancer Oblivion trick. Neither have I performed any benchmarking running only with HDRI (shifting between nHancer/EVE HDRI) & no AA since in my opinion, AA is a visual requirement to enjoy this games graphics to it's fullest. I simply cannot stand ugly jaggiez. Originally by: Emerald Cortess Hello there! I want to have both HDR and AA. It works fine with nhancer, but ONLY in fullscreen. Any ideas what i can try to get it to work in windowed mode? Reason is, that i love to use semi-fullscreen through eve-launcher. Thanks in Advance! I have had no problems (ie. few problems) running windowed or semi windowed through EVE Launcher. I just hit escape, and then escape again at the logon screen if I notice that AA is not active (easy to see near the planet/starlight). This seems to pair up the AA with HDRI & the jaggiez are gone.

Emerald Cortess Caldari Konstrukteure der Zukunft	Posted - 2007.12.06 21:01:00 - [41] Ok, i made something wrong. I had HDR activated in Eve. But also in nhancer. But it still don't work! So: fullscreen + hdr in eve + aa = works window + hdr in eve + aa = don't works window + no hdr in eve + aa = works window + no hdr in eve + hdr over nhancer = aa yes, but no hdr Pressing ESC doesn't change anything...

Cloudheart	Posted - 2007.12.06 22:48:00 - [47] In Vista, I had to use global settings in nhancer rather than profile specific ones just to get this to work. Also, strangely, AA didn't work unless I had HDR turned on as well - possibly from selection of Oblivion compat mode.

Rekona	Posted - 2007.12.07 07:37:00 - [51] Okay I was able to install nHancer. One of those screenshots has a "DISABLED PREDEFINED PROFILE". How do you disable a profile? http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=evenhancer02fc6.png then I need to make another profile with those settings for EVE right?
Rekona	Posted - 2007.12.07 07:53:00 - [52] I've created another profile for Eve Online in nHancer and used the settings of Erragan Saddar, but the predefined profile by Nvidia doesn't disable itself.
Rekona	Posted - 2007.12.07 08:02:00 - [53] I had to duplicate the predefined profile to disable it anyway it still doesn't work. Maybe it's not so compatible with 8800 cards for anti Aliasing.

But my machine specs are: Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.4 GHz OC 2GB Corsair terminator Geforce 8800GTS 640MB version OS: Windows XP Running at 2x(1600x1200) Dual monitor. Eve running full screen on primary monitor. Eve settings: Shadows: High Cache: extreme HDR: enabled ... doh Bloom: high (Remember that bloom is resolution dependent and not scene complexity dependent) But i noticed when i installed the full version of trinity for TQ that i had to mess around with the settings a bit before i got it to nice AA and HDR actually working. I'm not too fond of my fps though... i get around 30-35fps inside and outside of station, but i havnt tried it with several ships on TQ. Will post some screens of my nhancer settings when i get home tonight. BTW: I know of no fix for ATI...sorry nHancer version is 2.3.2 Eve Market Scanner
Brandon Boyd	Posted - 2007.12.07 11:51:00 - [57] Had to turn off HDR via the Client and force it through nHancer to get AA32S windowed. Works like a charm (even on Vista64) and looks absolutely stunning. Thanks alot.

Exactly same effect error as you describe. But sisnce the devs didn't support this feature...i dont think we are gonna get it fixed. My driver version is: 169.09 Beta, so dont think its a driver issue... But hey, anythings possible
flashfreaking LFC FreeFall Securities	Posted - 2007.12.11 13:32:00 - [89] It isn't a driver issue, it has something to do with the AA and the engine itself not working together for the full 100% as you guys forced it (so did I, thx OP) upon it, thats why you'll get sporadic white boxes when cloaked and inside stations at a certain point. So I hope CCP will get AA + HDR to work soon with ingame support, so we won't get those artifacts. Anyway Eraggan, you won Eve for a day, as the Dev said, you have a serious case of Win
Migou Caldari	Posted - 2007.12.11 13:53:00 - [90] Same for me. Blinking white square on my ship only after a stargate jump when the ship is cloaking. Using HDR+AA trough nHancer. 2x8800GTS 640 in SLI. Latest driver (non beta). Regards.

xJohnnyDx The Aduro Protocol The Fifth Race	Posted - 2007.12.24 02:06:00 - [99] I'm having the same problems here with the 169.21 drivers. Everything worked fine before, then I updated, now none of the AA stuff shows up. Part of the initial problem was Eve being coded into the new control panel. I had to track it down in a configuration xml file to get rid of it, in order for nHancer to even allow me to add Eve to the list. Now, it's there, but none of the same settings I had before are working. Anyone having similar problems, and/or know of a setup that works?

I'm running win Xp with a nvidia 7950 GT I have tried with nhance settings exactly the same as the first post shows in his screen shots and I've tried every AA capatibility option in the compatibility screen. I refuse to believe that 7950 GT just won't AA this game. the jaggies and shimmering are making my eyes bleed! please help!
Sherazade Le'Slut	Posted - 2007.12.26 15:36:00 - [103] i just also upgraded to 169.25 drivers, and AA+HDR didnt work anymore through nHancer w/ Oblivion Mod. Using SplinterCell4 or HL2 gives me back AA, and it looks like if HDR is also working again (telling from the FPS drop when switching it on/off in nHancer). Turning HDR on ingame always turns of AA, no matter which compatibility mode i choose. Vista x86 with a GF8600 GTS, nHancer 2.3.2

I also checked the box "Profile can be activated manually". On Enhancements i only set AA to Multisampling 4x (higher value kills FPS below 60, its only a 8600gts), NO gamma correction, multi/supertransparency at all. Anisotropic Filtering is 4x, no forced Vsync (forced within Eve: Interval def.). No Options activated in the Optimizations tab. Compatibility tab: AA compat. is Splinter Cell4 [00000200], HDR enabled. Rest unchecked. After playing around with settings i always do a "Tools > Activate Profile > eve" and they seem to be immediately activated when alt-tabbing back to the game. Settings in Eve are: Shadow High, HDR off, Cache High, Present Interval: Interval default (Vsync) forcing HDR in EvE will always disable AA hope this helps o/

xJohnnyDx The Aduro Protocol The Fifth Race	Posted - 2007.12.28 19:22:00 - [107] Well, thank you Sherazade Le'****, it seems that at least AA is working, now that I've disabled it in every option for Eve in the NVIDIA Control Panel, and set up nHancer as you suggested. Unfortunately, HDR doesn't appear to be active, so hopefully we can all mess around and figure out a tweak that will once again allow HDR and AA.

Eraggan Sadarr Phoenix Tribe	Posted - 2007.12.29 01:32:00 - [109] Well, still seems there are a lot of people that can't make this work. Sadly i can only tell you that i had to try a lot settings combinations before it worked for me. But it seems like the 7950 users is having problems. Isn't that essentially 2 cores on one board running SLI? maybe that is where the problem is. Just a thought. Regarding the profiles in driver. You can make nHancer disable the original nvidia Eve profile by making a duplicate (next to add and remove buttons below profile list) and click yes at the prompt. Maybe that will work.

I don't have this problem, at least if I understand you correctly. Without this fix: When i fly in my Buzzard i have small light points on the ship (The ones that make it look cool, not errors). Then when i cloak, I get flashy white squares popping at the edges, upon the transparent cloaked model with rim light pulsing. Also, the light points are removed. With the fix: Same as above but no flashy white squares. Is this what you experience? Eve Market Scanner

A Gramsci	Posted - 2008.04.16 21:32:00 - [130] Vista x64 8800 GTX: Works quite well - the game looks a thousand times better now, thanks for the tip. I still get the white squares when cloaked, but its worth it for the HDR. If you have FR issues drop your shadows to high from extreme- that provides a serious boost, and if you want to check to see if the HDR is working, activate a stargate- it'll be obvious. You sometimes have to alt+tab or esc out and in again (without changing settings) for it to work. I have to have HDR enanabled in the options menu to get both that and AA on together which contradicts what others are reporting.

Severoth Darkblade	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:25:00 - [133] I'm trying to get the best graphics out of my machine and have looked into running nhancer. After playing with some stuff I just can't see any real change compared to the settings in game. I have a: Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS 512 Vista 64 Quad Core 6600 4 gig of ram. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for settings for nhancer to max out Eve. Also couldn't see Cover Sampling? I thought it was for the 8800's?
Eraggan Sadarr Phoenix Tribe	Posted - 2008.04.26 15:15:00 - [134] As far as i know this "fix" only works in fullscreen. And regarding the fix posted with changing the filename to oblivion.exe: This is not necessary! I have found though, that sometimes i have to activate the profile manually from nhancers tray icon or in the tools menu. Then you can just alt+tab back into eve and then you have the AA+HDR. To get rid of the flashing squares when cloaked write "0xf0000045" into the AA compatibility box.
W Floyd Minmatar The Orpana Rejects Foundation	Posted - 2008.04.28 09:40:00 - [135] I finally got it working for myself. HDR and AA as far as I can tell. Only in full screen though, as seems to be the general case. I do believe Coverage Sample had absolutely no effect, all the others seemed to work. Settled for 4xS Supersampling. The only things I changed were AA settings and compatibility (oblivion did the trick). I also made sure the profile is manually activated through the taskbar. In the Nvidia panel, I set Eve AA to override (using 174,9 beta drivers) and supersampling, left the amount of AA at "default global setting". I'm not sure whether this had any effect, just mentioning it. I'm running Vista x32 and a GeForce 8800GTX. I tried a gazilion things from here and other threads and nothing seemed to work. So I can't really say why it did, but these are the settings and drivers I'm using in nHancer and Control Panel now, and they work.

Specs: BFG 7800 GTX (256MB) Windows XP x64 Standard 169.21 drivers Settings in nHancer: Tried the ...45 Oblivion code, no dice. Currently on the ...200 Splinter Cell code. Both have the same quality issues.

Every time the ship moves, there's shimmering going on with the textures. The guns look like they're sparkling and little bands wash up and down my ship. It looks like crap and no other settings I've tried fixes it. You can see what I'm saying with the texture distortion on the panel right above the thrusters. Anyone else have a 7800 and have been able to get it to look good?
Jenny Loo	Posted - 2008.05.14 07:17:00 - [138] Edited by: Jenny Loo on 14/05/2008 07:18:47 Those of you who were asking about 8800 GTS and GTX temperatures. I did some research on this case after my gpu went 80C. Do you honestly believe that anything above 70C is healthy for your vga? What my research revealed was that 8800 gpu's bios are configured in a strange way. By default settings your gpu fan works at 36% all the time, until the temp reaches 90C or so. Then it speeds up killing the temp. There are 2 ways to make your gpu cooler. First and the easiest one is using ntune/rivatuner set the manual fan speed to 60% (more than 60% will speed up your fan and cause more noise. Try 100% you'll see what I mean). 60% speed is enough to maintain <60C gpu. The second way is to manually edit gpu's bios (what I wouldn't recommend if you have no clue how to do it). Bios editing is more efficient tho as you can edit conditions like if the temp get's higher than 60 or 70C, then fan will speed up till the temp drops to a certain level and then it will slow down. All in all the fastest way to increase your vga's lifetime is to get riva or ntune and maintain a higher fan speed than 36%. The ridiculous original bios settings are far from trusting them.

I am running nHancer with the default setup for EVE online which is SLI:AFR[0x02400001] with HDR on High and maxed graphics in game. The game runs great however I get an odd slow down only when I am rolling the view around in space and I move in a cicrle, every time I roll to where the sun is just out of view it slows to 20 fps from 230 fps. If I look at my ship and the sun and move it just right it will cause the slow down as well. Very annoying. Other then that I get 200+ fps. Thoughts?

Ishina Fel Synergy. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2008.05.23 08:31:00 - [143] The Geforce 6xxx and 7xxx series were infamous for their horrible texture flickering caused by using the anisotropic filter. If I were you, I would disable it completely as a first measure. If that doesn't work, turn transparency AA off. If that doesn't work, turn off both the anisotropic filter and transparency AA. Additionally, check your Z-Buffer settings ingame. EVE recommends the 32bit buffer. Also note: when you are only trying to force antialiasing, and leave HDR off, it is probably irrelevant which compatibility mode you use - since those are only really needed for using both HDR and AA at the same time.

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).

DanielJackson SG1 Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.06.11 02:23:00 - [151] 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 .

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.

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. 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 MkGee	Posted - 2008.06.18 22:30:00 - [160] 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.

TheRealBanana1 Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2008.06.25 05:25:00 - [163] 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?

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.

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

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?

I've tried everything in this thread. I simply cannot get AA and HDR working on my EVGA 9800GX2. And I'm curious as to why this might be. From reading in this thread, there's a bunch of nvidia cards out there that have the ability to force AA and HDR. Mine can't. I'll have to use Google to dig deeper for an answer and hopefully a solution to this problem. - Phoenix2
Destructor1792 Minmatar Malicious Intentions	Posted - 2008.11.07 15:27:00 - [189] For me, I had to remove Nhancer from my system. It was causing random crashes & lockups I'm guessing it's because I'm running Vista 64 (and we all know what happens when software tries doing something it shouldn't on there). Used to get the occasional crash on XP pro but not as bad as with Vista (I'm running a dual boot so have had the added luxury of testing both)!! And that was tested with: (old GFX - XP Pro & VIsta 64) 8800GTX (New GFX - XP Pro & Vista 64) GTX 260 (x2) in either stand alone config or SLI Also tried the above cards on the other 2 house pc's which have just the one O/S installed (one has vista 64, the other XP Pro) And identical results!! I do recall reading somewhere on the Nvidia site of issues trying to enable AA & HDR simultaneously with certain cards.. guessing they still haven't resolved it yet ______________________________________ Bringing The Fun Back I Have No Fear, Fear is for the WEAK
Baleur Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2008.11.10 16:00:00 - [190] WARNING Be VERY careful when using nHancer.. I too didnt really see any harm in simply changing the AA compatability settings, they are even listed as a "safe" setting to change, if i remember correctly. But after playing with the premium gfx for a month or so, i found out about nHancer, so i downloaded it, and tried it out. Granted it worked well to get AA + HDR in eve via the Oblivion compatability code. However the framerate drop was big, so some dudes on the forums recommended to switch to another compatability code, which would reduce the drastic drop in fps. I had already tried about 3 others, with no effect, but the fourth one i tried had drastic consequences. My entire graphics card just died as soon as i started up the game again, bam. Screen went black, monitor led-light flashing, totally dead, forced to buy a new one for Ç150. So again, be very careful, apparantly those tweaks are NOT harmless, and could very well completely pwn your graphics card, dont mess with nHancer unless you are prepared to buy a new graphics card.

Rhaegor Stormborn Minmatar	Posted - 2008.12.01 03:37:00 - [196] I have an issue with Nhancer, and it may be my computer, or it may be one of my settings, or possibly it is just how it works... I have Nhancer working fine most times and it looks great, much better than without, no jagged edges, but then sometimes, especially when I warp into a grid with many other players on it, or something when I jump systems, I lose the affect of Nhancer, I have tons of jagged edges again. So what I must do it minimize Eve, and right click on the Nhancer icon and activate my "Eve Profile" manually and then tab back into Eve and it is fine again, until the next time it happens, and it happens enough to be a big pain in the ass. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Laevateinn Novus Aevum Transport and Industries Novus Aevum	Posted - 2009.01.18 00:56:00 - [198] A word for users using 8xx series cards (8800 GT etc) I recently updated my graphics drivers to compensate for poor GTA IV performance. This had the effect of causing major CPU load when I was zoomed in on a ship. I later learned that the antialiasing I was using (Supersampling 32x) was no longer supported by Forceware 8xx drivers. Changing this to Coversage Sample 16x solved the issue (16xQ still gave some slowdown). I still think that the latest foreware drivers are a wee bit fuzzy with the AA, but I would recomend usings of 8 series cards look at knocking down the antialiasing if they ever get any strange heavy cpu load/lag.

You're wrong there.. Badly written apps can cause hardware failures. Which is why most software that attempts to change what the hardware is supposed to do comes with a disclaimer. e.g. You use software to increase the clock frequency of your gfx card.. card burns out! software caused the failure by overriding the default card settings. So was the gfx card to blame ? NOPE - software was. Same when using N-Hancer - it forces the card to run at values that are not default. Whilst some of the settings are of use (usually due to bad game design), you use the software at your own risk. _____________________________________ Someone's swiped my avatar!!!

However the framerate drop was big, so some dudes on the forums recommended to switch to another compatability code, which would reduce the drastic drop in fps. I had already tried about 3 others, with no effect, but the fourth one i tried had drastic consequences. My entire graphics card just died as soon as i started up the game again, bam. Screen went black, monitor led-light flashing, totally dead, forced to buy a new one for Ç150. So again, be very careful, apparantly those tweaks are NOT harmless, and could very well completely pwn your graphics card, dont mess with nHancer unless you are prepared to buy a new graphics card. Piece of **** application, indeed :) Applications can't cause hardware failures unless there is an inherrant weakness in the hardware its being run on. The card failed while you were using Nhancer, likely becasue the AA/AF you used increased the load on it and caused a weakness to be exposed. It SHOULD work fine you just got a bad card. LAWL -- applications can 100% break ur hardware. Hardware is controlled by drivers -- you can hack drivers -- hacked drivers can break hardware.

The card failed while you were using Nhancer, likely becasue the AA/AF you used increased the load on it and caused a weakness to be exposed. It SHOULD work fine you just got a bad card. You're wrong there.. Badly written apps can cause hardware failures. Which is why most software that attempts to change what the hardware is supposed to do comes with a disclaimer. e.g. You use software to increase the clock frequency of your gfx card.. card burns out! software caused the failure by overriding the default card settings. So was the gfx card to blame ? NOPE - software was. Same when using N-Hancer - it forces the card to run at values that are not default. Whilst some of the settings are of use (usually due to bad game design), you use the software at your own risk. Software can cause hardware failure, but only when you are trying to overvolt, overclock or modify bios, otherwise I call bull****. nhancer was not the fault of his video card to fail, it just pushed his card to the max and the card failed. The card would have died all the same if he ran heavy GPU stress tests or GPU intensive games with high AA-AS-HDR-Res settings.

Only software that is designed to tweak the hardware functions (Freq., Vcore, BIOS) can directly damage you hardware. And there is a huge warning on all of this applications that they can do that. If your card died running eve with nhancer it means it had a design flaw (insufficient cooling of memory modules is the no. 1 issue, core shutdowns when overheated, memories does not). Nhancer only modifies the settings of D3D and OpenGL rendering via game profiles, it has nothing to do with the hardware control.

Sleepkevert Amarr Rionnag Alba Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2009.03.13 09:26:00 - [209] Untick the dx10 AA compatiblity and set the normal AA compat to 0xf0000045 as described in the start of this thread. It should work fine then. Also trilinear optimalization is disabled when texture filtering is set to high quality. And you might want to disable v-sync since you aren not gonna get high frame rates anyway with 4x4 supersampling (3x3 will run pretty smooth though, so I recommend you set it to that if you run into perfomance issues) _ Add your own line!

It should work fine then. The dropdown menue of my nHancer (version 2.4.5) doesn't provide any "0xf0000045". I can only choose from the following options: 00000000: general compatibility 00000005: AA & HDR 00000018: HL2 engine (A) 00000044: AA & HDR 00000045: AA & HDR 00000145: AA & HDR 00000200: Splinter Cell 4 00000244: Vanguard 0000f0c1: STALKER 20000000: EA Strategy Games 200100c5: Oblivion 40000000: AA & HDR 40000018: HL2 Engine (B) 80000000: SplinterCell: CT Since Laetaveinn said, he uses "AAComap: 45", I thought "00000045: AA & HDR" is the one to choose? And what about the CPU Multi Core support? When I switch it on, the "Not all settings in this profile can be activated automatically in Direct3D games. Use it for an OpenGL game only or activate it manually!" message appears. What should I do about that? -Crux

Sleepkevert Amarr Rionnag Alba Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2009.03.13 12:35:00 - [211] Don't activate the dual core option if it starts whining about it. It's not required CCP implements their own dual core support without the driver. The 00000045: AA & HDR setting will work, but you used to get artifacts while cloaked with the old effect. You can manualy type in that drop down box as well and setting it to 0xf000045 worked in fixing the cloak artifacts. However, with the new cloaking effect I'm not sure this is required anymore... The 00000045: AA & HDR should work fine, but if you get any flashing white squares, change it to 0xf0000045 by typing it in that box manually to get rid of those. _ Add your own line!

Please note, someone mentioned not to use the AA enhancements, but that seems to make no difference so I put them back on. I was having this same issue, and discovered that my nHancer settings for antialiasing are ignored unless I check the "HDR enabled" checkbox inside the EVE client itself. I know it sounds implausible, but seriously, if I turn that on, then close the window, I get my jaggies back and my framerate, (ctrl-f) goes through the roof. If I bring that window back up, check the box, and close the window, my framerate comes back down to its expected place, and all my antialiasing is turned on again. Various adjustments to nHancer are suddenly reflected in the app as normal. I have the bloom turned to 'low' but I don't think that's connected to the issue. Anyway, when I discovered that, suddenly Crux Xybalba's settings above worked perfectly. I did end up settling back on SS 2x2 instead of 4x4. 4x4 looks fabulous, but it causes my 8800gt's cooling fan to sound like it's trying to hold off certain video card meltdown. The only differences between my nHancer settings and yours Andrius Victor is that I have the 'enhance ingame...' and 'gamma correction super...' turned off. Good luck!

Shani Mukantagara Amarr Trans-Solar Works Rooks and Kings	Posted - 2010.01.07 13:48:00 - [252] I'm getting allot of performance issues since Dominion. Processor: Core i7 920 8MB Cache Socket 1366 3.8 GHZ Graphics Card 1: GeForce GTX 295 1792MB PCI Express 2.0 (zotac over-clocked) GPU Clock 675 MHZ Memory Clock 2100 MHZ Shader Clock 1455 MHZ Ram is not the best as I burned out 3 1600 sticks a few months ago. 8G 1100 MHZ DDR3 Latest gpu Driver AA Multi x 4 When I start warp I get horrible lag, and my CPU usage shoots up, 3 FPS then the lag stops I get 300-400 until I land on the gate with effects on I get <40 With two clients I get even less than 40. turning HDR off improves the frame rate slightly but in a combat with 100 people the machine cant handle it, Same frame rate if I set everything to low. Before Dominion I recorded the first fight (in the box) for this movie: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1203630 I was dual accounting and everything was running smooth, now I can't even start recording due to 3 fps when I hit FRAPS. Full screen with 2 clients I get 30 Frame rate in fleet fighting with everything on , Windows mode in the same situation I get 10.
Katabrok First Caldari Apukaray Security	Posted - 2010.01.20 14:25:00 - [253] I just installed the last NVidia drivers, and they list as one of the bugfixes that now they apply the custom AA settings on windowed mode. And it works! Just to let you know. Btw, the drivers are version 196.21. Kata Uma vez flamengo, sempre flamengo.

Alabugin	Posted - 2010.06.15 17:38:00 - [256] Ok...Ive got it too work...WITHOUT HDR!!! Im using an Nvidia GTX 260 SC However, i could not get better image quality while using HDR. Note that HDR does very little for image quality...and is not worth it compared to AA. My settings in Nhancer are: AA: 32xS,TranspSS4 AF: 16x SLI: AFR [0x02400001] (predefined) Perf: HiQual that simple. No compatibility mode at all. Just forcing AA Done

Daekov	Posted - 2010.08.18 18:07:00 - [258] Just a FYI note to nVidia users using drivers later than and including version 250.x, an updated version of nHancer (2.6.0) will be developed to work with the 250.x and later drivers. The current version of nHancer (at the time of writing this), which is 2.5.9 will not work with 250.x and later drivers.
