    I don't see any way (maybe there were in the old version), MSAA forcing through nvidia panel does not work either.
    Thanks, i will try these bits.

    I'll buy it and test it real quick and then refund.

    Yeah so it works fine. You just have to add the executable to a new profile or to the existing Dungeon Lords profile. As it has a different .exe name than the original game.
    Speaking of that, I don't know but this game seems horribly optimized. Bad frame pacing, and huge GPU usage for such an old game on a modern GPU.
    Also, guess they never heard of MipMaps either heh.


    Dungeon Lords: Steam Edition

    0x00000041 - MSAA,TrSSAA
    0x000000C1 - SGSSAA, OGSSAA,HSAA(+- TrSSAA/SGSSAA)

    You may need Reshade or SweetFX for a border shader.

    Seems like Reshade disables SGSSAA (but i don't see any borders, so its does not matter that much)

    You need to add the depth bit. 0x004, then reshade should work. You can also try older SweetFX builds too. But if you don't see it that's fine as well.

    I've lately been installing whatever game I can use NVidia inspector on and see what I can get.
    Anyone figure any bits for Dungeon Siege 3? I tried enhance but to no avail, so I assume certain comp. bits would help in forcing nvidia inspector stuff.

    Dungeon Siege 3 doesn't work. The in game AA doesn't even function at all IIRC.

    You have to downsample+FXAA or SMAA. Either use GeDoSaTo to get easy high ratios. Or use DSR tool to create a custom DSR resolution greater than 2x2
    This game looks really good though when you do that.

    Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind once I can get DSR ;3

    Renegade Ops is DirectX 10, not sure if bits would do anything.

    TrSSAA and SGSSAA seem to work anyway:

    4x MSAA (in-game setting)
    4x MSAA + 4x TrSSAA
    4x SGSSAA

    I couldn't see any improvement trying to enhance or override to 8x.

    (unskippable logo videos and "do not turn off your PC" screens... annoying)

    The AA bits mentioned for Trine 1
    0x000010C1

    I tried applying them but the game still has some aliasing going on. I disabled bloom and fxaa (post processing AA in options file), but overriding nor enhancing Trine 1 seems to do the trick. Is there an alt. AA bit to test out with if anyone knows?

    Checking myself. It wouldn't have been known at the time. But enabling the AA fix improves quality and fixes some black line artifacts. But also I think the Enchanted edition wasn't out yet either. Which had problems with it's bloom from what I can tell from my pictures. The EE looks a ton better and doesn't seem to have issues with the bloom.

    AA is still pretty costly though.

    4xSGSSAA cost is roughly on par with the in game 4xSSAA option in cost. (Same as 2x2 DSR).
    In game SSAA doesn't scale bloom resolution. DSR does. In game SSAA also seems to have a negative lod bias effect or something similar. Sharper but more aliasing.

    8xSGSSAA @ 1080p can easily hit 50-60% GPU.

    Looks gorgeous though.

    Ah thanks, I'll try it with AA fix and see if it'll improve.

    Post some screens if you need to. You may need to take a hybrid approach.
    I can only access the first area of the game. So there may be things I don't see.

    Heh I was concerned that the NVidia Inspector settings I made weren't working for Dishonored, but it seems that the main menu is a video file playback. In game the textures are affected as expected, I also applied AF x16 via editting a .ini file
    Here are some screens I took
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Also for anyone planning a replay, keep in mind that the game despawns bodies be they unconcious or otherwise. This can be annoying if you are going for a no kill run as despawned bodies count as kills. Someone provided this simple guide to resolve this issue

    Might need to see your inspector settings.

    This is what 4xSGSSAA looks like for me.
    https://abload.de/img/trine1_32bit_2019_08_ulk9w.png

    There is still some minor issues on a few elements. But nothing super egregious. Sometimes SGSSAA doesn't get absolutely everything.
    It could be since you have bloom disabled that the quality of the final output changes. It's sharper, but more aliasing remains. Shaders like Bloom often interact with SGSSAA and improve Image Quality as the expense of ermagerd sharpness.

    Those Dishonored screens look nice, definitely one of the more visually unique UE3 games. And yeah the videos, games running on UE3 were by far the worst last gen when it came to stuff that should've been real-time done as shitty videos.

    Here're the NVidia Inspector settings that I have applied
    [​IMG]

    Should I be changing anything in the Compatibility section?

    Also I tried out OG Deus Ex Human Revolution but I still get aliasing :X I disabled DX11 ingame, and these are the settings I applied. Should I change anything else on here?

    [​IMG]

    I'll be using Reshade to get rid of the yellow filter in the original game btw.
