Mass Effect 1 Forcing AA.

dmxdex2020 · 20 Jun 2010 at 12:44

I bought Mass Effect 1 on the pc last night and have installed it. I cannot get AA to work. I know you can rename the exe but on steam that is not possible. Is their another method for ati cards?

Just go into ccc (catalyst control centre) and remove the tick from use application settings under the 3D tab.

Edit: I've never used any driver hotfixes malarkey.

I though it wasnt possible to do that? im using the 10.5 drivers do i need a hotfix?

I cant do that on steam. I wish i got it on disk now.

I have tried it. I put edge detect on and maximum and i didnt get any slow downs which i always do in games as its extremely brute method so its not work.

You dont think forced AA worked because your game didnt slow down? Why not just look at an angled line to see if its jagged?

No theirs still some jaggies and no matter what if i put edge detect to 8x it cuts fps on all games buy 20fps.

I can confirm that forcing AA through the CC for mass effect 1 does not work. Im not talking about mass effect 2.

try renaming the mass effect exe to UT3.exe. you'll still have to force AA in the control panel but it should work. mine is still downloaded so i cant try it yet

Tried. steam rubbishness doesnt allow it. The game refuses to start its impossible. Wish i had got it on disk now. Thats why i wont buy a game off steam that uses the UT3 engine anymore. Cant stand jaggies. If i try to rename it says that its unavailible when i try to start the game.

I reinstalled my driver and oddly it now works. Is it me or does the AA through the cc poor? Its on on ME1 but it does seem to have made a lot of difference. Still pretty much the same level of jaggies on the lines of walls.

I am using 10.4, yes I bought it in the Steam sale. No, I haven't had to do anything like you mentioned to get it to work.

I just edit my post got it working. But it just seems that AA through CC is poor. Pretty much hasnt done much to remove a lot of the jaggies. a lot of the lines on walls are the same. I know its worked now as edge detect has taken a massive hit of 20fps.

In doors mate. It dips to 20 fps that is with edge detect. I still notice the same jaggies on the ship. Maybe The jaggies on the ship cannot be ironed out.

Im running at 1920x1080. Like i said the jaggies are the same on all settings in cc. Box and edge detect. I have just left it on 16x box as theirs no difference with edge detect apart from some corruption. You should be able to run ME1 on your hardware with box AA with no slow downs.
