I am trying to see if I can disable the image ghosting when using NoAA/PostAA

[Koniving]

That'd be great. It's in every one of my vids. It's in most of my images. And it's a frequent thing on many machines.
From page 2 and the reason why I don't do shots myself anymore...

Lordred, I curse in the top, non-spoiler video once. O.o;

Anyway.
Shots I took this patch, completely unedited. No setting changes. Radeon 6870s.

Spoiler

No editing of photos, no driver stuff, no changes of game files. MWO raw with settings on very high -- sadly very high doesn't do anything beyond high/medium settings.

Hopefully Lordred can make them beautiful.

Of the 100+ images I took, only a few made it here and not because I was selective or only wanted the best. It was because they were the ones that didn't have the motion blur (ghost images) effect going on. The image I left in this quote was the only one that did 'slip through'. But this goes to show how OLD this problem is. Most people don't report it because they aren't taking still images. However, this has been a problem for me since Direct X 11 was originally disabled in closed beta.

I haven't taken images mid-match for a while...

Though I wouldn't know what would be reportable and what wouldn't.


I have found a few image glitches in the mechlab looking over that as I type this though - weird black bars on my Atlas' arm.

[Lordred]

Temporary workaround

Set all graphic settings to desired settings.

Run MSAA or TXAA if your hardware allows, this removes image ghosting completely.

To remove ghosting with NoAA set.
1: Set AA to PostAA
2: Launch match
3: At start of match change AA to NoAA
4: Enjoy no ghosting.
5: Repeat every match.


I have been banging my head playing the CVAR's to try to fix this, but this appears to be the only way to do so, I mostly want to use the NoAA setting so I can then brute force the AA of my choice.

Is it sad that I haven't even really noticed those issues unless I sit down and compare my screenshots to yours?

Well I thought I had it licked.. but the PostAA to NoAA did not work in the real match.

ya I was disapointed also.

However, this is why you should fear the Commando 2D, one Small Laser and 3x SRM2 (not Streak)

400+ damage with the HUD off

[Koniving]

What's scary is most people don't notice that because when things are moving that actually 'kinda' helps with the jagged, edgy lines (aliasing) that still prominently shows even with the AA turned on. Though lately using the AA modes have helped deal with that blur (for a change; used to have to turn them off to get rid of the blur).

Now you have to turn them on. I can't get rid of it without going DX 11 and MSAA and even then while I don't have an actual performance hit, any time I'm shot by a missile the game locks up for a second or two at a time (which then leads to me teleporting and being completely lost as to what happened) when the game adds the missile blur.

For this reason I absolutely hate the frequency of LRM and SRM spam on this game and have been pioneering to have them do double damage but fire half as often. (That and a series of 4 launchers are lobby high explosive missiles faster than machine gun bullets for equal damage per missile to 11 machine bullets; it's kind of a sick joke). Though I'd be content with just the removal of the blur effect that occurs when missiles are spammed.

Said missile blur effect.

Spoiler

As you can see the missile style blur is only partial screen, but it is troublesome for my twin set of Radeon 6870.

Thankfully in videos at 1280 x 720, you can't really tell it's happening when the viewer and the target are both moving.

Man, the old battle damage textures where so much better than the birdshit textures we have now. I desperately wish it was - like a High Res Texture Pack - an option you can turn on, performance be damned.

The Centurion in particular had outstanding battle damage textures. Really fantastic.
