    i don't know really, so many of us having very different issues with this game. too bad.

    i.e i can't do that with SMAA v1.1 myself, game wont launch.

    very disappointing it is

    edit: at the same time, AA 8x all at max ingame is already very nice, just frustrating, ain't it ?

    well certainly find a way, look at wat shaderlord(among others) achieves.

    i dont get that white bug, just can't have 1.1 of SMAA.

    just funny all thoses differences between players on pc :D

    i don't think i'll patch the game to 1.2, bad reports here and there.

    The bug i get is dozens of game crash to dekstop :( im happy to be allowed(unlike crysis2) to save as much as i can ^^

    its gonna work, i hope.

    I would like to captures screenies but .bmp is 6.000 Ko or jpg is 700 Ko...
    i don't know what to do. i can only do screenshots with FRAPS, wich is good. but how should i do to fit the 1.000 Ko limitation ?

    Always take your screenshots in lossless format. I the convert mine in into lossless png format for archiving. I use png or jpg (96-100% quality, no chroma subsampling and progressive encoding) for web use. I try to avoid jpg's if the size isn't too large. Sometimes it's better to use png's (like when posting desktop windows screenshots).

    Use GIMP, XnView or something else for converting.

    SMAA 1.1 (i moved the camera too much, but you can see that building in the distance)

    edit: photobucket resized 2 images - heh i hit 1mb mark, but you can see the difference.


    FXAA+sharpen combo still looks the best imo, it makes more detailed distant objects and removes this fine "blur" filter. *Check distant trees on the left*..

    WhiteLightning alt tabbing out and back into the game fixes that problem.

    About SMAA (first post)...

    It works flawless on BFBC2 dx11 (win 7 64bit). The IQ is awesome (I used it in conjuction with 2xaa, seems a real SSAA!)! When we will see the the SMAA t2x implemented? Also i read on Jimenez page that the SMAA use 2 textures (or c++ headers) on his implementation. Do you also used them?

    Just FYI:
    -FXAA refuse to work on BFBC2 dx11 (win 7). I obviously used the dx10 files; the log file have that message seing that it will not work at all but SMAA worked!)

    Cheers!

    Out of those SMAA looks much better than that over sharpened, artificial looking FXAA picture (which probably makes your head hurt after a while).

    PNG, TGA and BMP have the same quality. They're all lossless. Since BMP doesn't have any compression, it's faster to take bmp pictures (i.e. you barely notice it when you take screenshot, png can give noticeable pause).
