AA (Anti-Aliasing) Injectors

[Endy]

Hello All.

We all know Battlefield 3 already looks beautifull but today while reading the forums at battlelog i came across something named FXAA Injector It makes the game look even more beautifull than it is now. It smoothens the edges alot more.

Download V1.5: http://www.2shared.com/file/6PkaqZ3Z/BF3_FXAA_DX1011v5.html
Copy the files to your Battlefield 3 folder (c:\program files\origin games\Battlefield 3\) you don't have to copy the readme, that's all and you'll see such an improvement!

Note: Don't forget to disable your AA video settings in battlefield 3 (Anti Aliasing), you don't have to have them enabled. the AA in bf3 causes alot of fps drops.

What is FXAA? (Note: It's in German, need ptica to translate if possible ^^)

Diesmal gibt es zwei Versionen. In beiden fällen sind Details minimiert/deaktiviert (SpotLightShadowmap, TripleBuffering, ForceRenderAhead, TransparencyShadowmap, blur ). In Version 1.25 ist optisch kaum ein Unterschied zur v1.2 zu erkennen.
Anders bei v1.25 performance, hier ist schlichtweg HBAO ( Ambient Occlusion ) deaktiviert. Dennoch waren fast alle Tester von der danoc1 v1.25 performance sehr begeistert und hatten teilweise eine enorme Leistungssteigerung bei guter Optik.

A few minutes later i read some other person talking about something similar but named SMAA Injector

What is MSAA?

SMAA is a very efficient GPU-based MLAA implementation, capable of handling subpixel features seamlessly, and featuring an advanced pattern detection & handling mechanism.

Note: Move mouse over image and move it back of the image to see the difference

Notice: Use at own risk, you can always try singleplayer first to see the difference.
I've been using FXAA for a while now and alot of other people aswell and no single kick yet.

Is it not cheat ? You know, is there a better visibility - that means longest distance of visibility with no fog or sandstorm (made by chopper being low above beach) ?

[gouomp]

I am too much of a coward to try such things out.

[kurczak]

Maybe that explain long distance for laser guided missiles ?


Anyway, its good to see you Ptica - they were kicking my ass all weekend long....

[gouomp]

Haha I am glad to be back too! I hope we will be able to rule the skies again this week

[Endy]

No kick, been using it for a while now, not even a single problem + it increases my FPS.
If you're unsure about it you can always use it for singleplayer first and see the difference.
I'll add a notice in the first post saying use at own risk.

Ok. Now tell me if this makes more FPS with less need for resources. How to optimize this game with not being banned by PB or whatever software that makes checkups on servers?

I'm using C2D now OCed to a 3 gigs with 4 gigs of RAM it runs quite good in single play with this config. Since i know that single play is much different from multi - could you provide me with some tweaks that are alowed to bring it playable on multigaming?

Since i have been tweaing The Witcher2 i saw that disabling smoothness of the ingame camera makes critical FPS drop i do not know if disabling blur in BF3 would be best idea to do. Sure i'll get better contrast and visibility during dynamic action, but i think this should make gaming a pain in the ass because of dropping FPS to the extremely low point. Am i ryt here? Correct me if i'm wrong.

@ Borgir

The problem for most people that causes FPS drop is the way Battlefield 3 handles the Anti-Aliasing.
Solution? Turn it all off and use the FXAA mod provided in the first post.
Also try turning VSYNC off to see if it improves your FPS.
I've been using this mod for a while now, haven't had a single problem.

Ok now don't laugh at what i'm using.

- Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz
- 2 GB Ram
- ATI 4850

Not laughing. What have you done to your i7 mate? Did you kill it already?
I'm using P5B +e4300@2,4GHz with total of 4 gig rams. It runs quite good but I have problems with onboard soundcard so i need to wait for one now.
