GeForce 2 and antialiasing

[merc widowmaker]

Well I installed the game and started to play, only to find that the main font of the game appeared blured and corrupted You can imagine my disapointment. Well I've been investigating the problem and I have come close to a total solution.
First off, the box of the game I bought (in israel, but I think its a US version) said recomended requirment was GeForce 2 or better.
I've got GeForce 2 MX/400.
The first time I ran the game on my Windows XP with the XP GeForce 2 driver I got no where. I then downloaded the latest "oficial" driver from NVidia and the game ran and played fine except fot the nasty font problem.
In the properties of the NVidia driver there is a setting for antialiasing. By default this is set to allow your software to choose the setting. After posting sevral times at the bioware forum I was advised to specify none or 2x. I rushed home from work and managed to get the font looking alot better by setting it to 2x ("None") didnt seem to make a change at all. (I made the change in the driver)

I searched some more on the Bioware forum and found an interesting thing. Apparently the in game antialiasing setting slider is a bit buggy (Video Options->Advanced Options) if you set it to 2 a change in the graphics occurs, but if you then set it to 4 no change will occur. To work around this you must go to zero first, apply the change and then set it to 4. I havnt tried this but will tonight. I will let you know how this works (or doesnt [img]smile.gif[/img] ).

Direct quote from Rui del-Negro
"But first a (small) bug I've found:

When I turn on antialiasing from within the game and press "ok" (or maybe it's "apply", I cant remember), the desktop flashes for a second and then the game pops back up with antialiasing enabled (no problem here).

However, if I then decide to change the antialiasing method (from 2x to 4x, for example), the method changes immediately (as I drag the slider) and, when I press "ok", antialiasing is turned off. The only way to change the antialiasing method is to drag the slider all the way to the left (to turn it off), press "ok", then go back to the menu, select the new method and press "ok" again."
