Unable to select antialiasing

[Akoku]

I've been through a complete fresh install of Windows and all the latest drivers but my antialiasing settings only has one options and that is "off". I am using an ATI x800 XL 256MB. Am I missing something here?

Re: Unable to select antialiasing

Is this ingame or in the Catalyst Control Center?

Re: Unable to select antialiasing

The problem is in-game. I have the options in my control panel selected to application preference.

Try unistalling and cleaning drivers, look in this post how:

It's odd error, since it is a clean install.

Have you tried applying default settings in the CCC??

Have you used any 3rd party tweak tools??

Re: Unable to select antialiasing

Found it very odd also. antialiasing shows up in other games; however, I haven't tried it on anything else yet. I'm not using any 3rd-party tweaks and the latest Cat drivers. I will try to clean it out and reinstall.

It seems more like the game is not displaying it. It is a really easy fix actually.

Go into:

My Documents > Battlefield 2 > Profiles > 00XX > and open up "video.con" in Notepad.

(where XX is the appropriate number of your profile, usually listed from top to bottom, with 01 being the top account in the BF2 login screen)

Find the line that says:

VideoSettings.setAntialiasing [I]something[/I]

Change it to:

VideoSettings.setAntialiasing XSamples

Where "X" is either 2, 4, or 6. I would recommend 2 or 4 for your current video card. (note: there is NO SPACE between the number and the word "Samples" in the coding!)

Now clear our the cache folder in:

My Documents > Battlefield 2 > mods > bf2 > cache

This will re-optimize the shaders for your new settings.

Thanks for the tip. Before I saw this I installed the Catalysts Control Center driver (I was just using the standard Control Panel) and now I have all settings selectable. However, I think I will try this out as I do not really like the Catalyst Control Panel due to its resource useage (yea, I'm a resource control nut). It's odd this would be the issue as the driver itself is the same, it's just the GUI that controls the driver is different
