Mass Effect 1. better textures/colours guide.

I have all 3 mass effects in my origin library from a sale. Not got round to playing them yet as I already played them all on 360 (ME3 enough to get it to 100% GS).

Have installed them and put texture mods on ME1, and used CCC to force AA etc to maximum. The difference is quite impressive, considering the age of the game.

Yeah you tell that the engine is very dated, but it still holds its own very well IMO. Make sure you do the ini tweaks to bring back dynamic/facial shadows. I can't get rid of the striping but it looks so much better than standard.

Screenies of my ME1 setup :

F11 screens in ME don't work, and corrupt the bmps. Thankfully they opened in GIMP.

Can you do this with the green team?

It's a while since I had a nVidia card, but I would assume it is in the driver software somewhere. nVidia Inspector maybe?

In-game, disable AA, then go into the software and create a profile for the games executable.

Need to try this and replay ME1. One of my all time favourites

Yes, you can easily enforce AA on ME, but you have to find the correct compatability bit in NVInspector. It won't be in the drop down, so simply type it, exactly as shown:
