fjix Posted November 7, 2000 Posted November 7, 2000 Is it just my video/monitor or do all the characters in MI4 have nasty square edges to them no matter how you configure? I'm thinking I might need to download new drivers for my vid card. I've got an NVIDIA TNT2 RIVA. It's a good card. Why does it look so crappy? Help
brief Posted November 11, 2000 Posted November 11, 2000 Yes, I looked everywhere for the anti-alias option, which doesn't appear to be available, for some strange reason. I'm quite certain I've played other games using DirectX that have used anti-alias, so it should technically be possible. I'll try to tinker with my settings some more, and hopefully find a solution. If anyone else knows how to fix this, please let us know! "Those jaggies suck!"

Help I went into the advanced display properties for my NVIDIA Detonator drivers, and selected "FORCE ANTIALIASING". That COMPLETELY fixes the jagged edge problem with the characters. THEY LOOK AWESOME NOW!!! HIGH RESOLUTION BABY!!
Lummux Posted November 20, 2000 Posted November 20, 2000 Interesting....my advanced properties doesn't have a FORCE ANTIAILIASING option. I have the latest drivers too...hmmm
fjix Posted November 20, 2000 Author Posted November 20, 2000 I found out that if you have a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 the graphics just suck and there's nothing you can do about it. Ain't that great! We've got to buy a GEforce or a voodoo 5 or something. No antialiasing for our sorry butts.
FrewdyBabe Posted November 23, 2000 Posted November 23, 2000 Have you tried downloading the latest driver from the nVidia website? Detonator 3 driver version 6.31 fixed the same problem for me.
fjix Posted November 24, 2000 Author Posted November 24, 2000 Yeah, the Detonator 3 driver completely removed the option to set anti aliasing.
isyncrasie Posted November 25, 2000 Posted November 25, 2000 hey... i got the same problem with Riva TNT and now i know how to fix it all you have to do is find the driver for that card-the driver is "208AGPDET" i dont know where to find it in net cus i got it in my cd... ok!!!
Lummux Posted November 27, 2000 Posted November 27, 2000 Did a search for that file, but all it comes up with is that this file is for the Nvidia Vanta 16MB/8MB AGP Video Card, and not the TNT2 Ultra. Can't find the file anyway, but surely that can't be the right one?
isyncrasie Posted November 27, 2000 Posted November 27, 2000 hey ...where do you find it?!!! all i can say is... i've got the right driver for that card i got the file in rayman 2 game! check it out
fjix Posted November 27, 2000 Author Posted November 27, 2000 I don't understand what you were just saying. Are you saying that the antialiasing option smooths the jagged edges with your NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 card? And you are not using the drivers that came with it or the detonator3? And what is rayman 2?
isyncrasie Posted November 28, 2000 Posted November 28, 2000 emm...let me explain it again! the file which i mention before is driver file for Riva TNT 2...you must get the file and install it to replace your old driver i found that file in Rayman 2 cd!(UbiSoft Game)....got it??? thats all pal!
fjix Posted November 28, 2000 Author Posted November 28, 2000 I see now. I never heard of the rayman game. Also web searches turn up nothing for that string. So I guess I'm f***ed unless I want to buy rayman too.
Agent007 Posted December 2, 2000 Posted December 2, 2000 Hey, would triple-buffering help? I have that option to force in the properties of my Voodoo Banshee... Thanks.
fjix Posted December 2, 2000 Author Posted December 2, 2000 Uh.. not really. I've got an NVIDIA RIVA TNT2. not a voodoo.
