Hi everybody,

at first: thanks to Larian for making this wonderful game. The love for making games oozes from every pore of it. Long may you run.

I spent quite some time with various methods of getting Anti Aliasing (AA) work (mentioend here and on other places), but to no avail (using an Nvidia GTX 580, Win Vista 64bit, on a Samsung 2233rz with 1650 * 1080).

Finally this cool, small program ended all my woes - it's very new at he time of writing this and implements Nvidia's FXAA for older games (especially those who use a defered lighting engine). It works like magic with Divinity 2: DKS. All kudos to the briliant developer of the programm named "some_dude".

You can read details and experience reports by many users down below:

The verison I liked the most for D2:DKS (even better than some new ones I tested) is this one (v8.7):

Installation (from the readme and how it worked very smoothly for me):
If the game uses DirectX 9, put all files from the d3d9 directory into the directory containing the game executable.
If the game uses DirectX 10/11, put all files from the d3d10 directory into the directory containing the game executable.

The file is very small and installtion should be done in about 15 seconds. The effect is likely to awe you - I got rid off 90 percent of the jaggies and textures look extremly detailed and sharp. Frame rate still super smooth.

Best wishes

P.S.: I am gonna attend Gamescom 2011 in Cologne and see I if can find Larian in all the crowded trouble. Looking forward to seeing you guys live.

Sorry for that late reply but i wanted to thank you for posting this. It worked like a charm and with no noticeable performance hit at 1920x1080.

Thanks for posting this excellent FXAA solution youngneil1!
It's a little bit blurry/soft however.
I searched for more info and there appears to be an updated version with enhanced sharpening:

Just thought I would add a link to the new SMAA Injector. I prefer this one but some people prefer FXAA. Just a personal preference.

You can change the setting in the injector.ini. I have mine to ULTRA and it looks really good.
