Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems How to turn on antialiasing for ati cards?

the ingame antialiasing doesnt work at all.

forcing antialiasing in ati tray tools does nothing either.

4890 - 9.11 cat drivers. (9.9 tested aswell - same results - nothing)
windows 7 ultimate

I'm trying to get this work as well, I've notice the game doesn't support ATI crossfire dual cards as well out of the box - Probably due to driver level, as I'm using ATI CrossFire Xtension to trick the Divinity 2 into other support crossfire games with some success. Example: Using/renaming the Divinity2.exe to Oblivion.exe; doubles your FPS - hence crossfire starts to work, but the shadows are screwy. I'm currently trying a bunch of different choices to see what might allow AA and Crossfire to work. I'll post my results when I find something interesting if at all.

I'm running a 4870x2 myself/Windows 7 Ultimate

Noticed that renaming divinity2.exe to Crysis.exe, will double your performance without issues (at least i haven't seen any) My FPS went from 30-31ish to 59-62fps on my ATI 4870x2.

As for getting AA to work, i'm now playing around with the settings in graphicoptions.xml file and getting some really strange results.

This is just sad, but after I start conversion with an NPC - my fps drops to the mid 30s and and never recovers to the back to 60s which it was before the conversion started - in the exact same areas. Reloading a saved games doesn't fix it, but if you exit the game and load the save - bam, back to 60 fps.

I got to thinking and I brought up my inventory and same situation happens. Seems like the UI kills the FPS on dual card setups after it comes up.

Then again, what do i know...

ive also noticed that the mouse pointer is sluggish, suggesting a low fps, in the ingame UI. especially the main menu that appears when you start the game and when you press ESC.

fine during the actual game from what ive seen.

i tried forcing x4AA in the catalyst control center globally for all applications. dont think it worked - some things looked like they might have been having AA applied (users character) but other things like trees had nothing on them.

Wow the Crysis.exe name change worked amazing! Even fixed the pointer on the loading screen so its not super laggy. This works better than the "Advanced Catalyst AI" setting in CCC. Sticky this!

BTW, how do you check FPS?

I'm using fraps www.fraps.com to check my fps while I test things. I've still had no luck getting the AA to work, I'm going to retry and bunch of things with HDR disabled - maybe something will stick.

I wish I had an nvidia card on the side to test as well.
