Just started playing RTW, already seems incredible! Anyone know:
-What does Desynchronize Animations do? Same as VSync?
-What driver CP levels do in-game Antialiasing levels equal? For instance, if I set 4x AA in my driver CP, what in-game level does that equal (Medium, High, etc.)?
Thanks in advance.
desync = desynchronizes the animations, so all the tails of a cavalry unit does not go sideways in the exact same time, really improves eyecandy, but zoomed out it is useless, demands more cpu power.
AA = use your CP settings and override the game settings, so you can specify x2, x4, x6 or x8. The setting in your CP will override the ingame setting
Um...sorry but what exctly does the AntiAllizing option?
Anti-Aliasing gets rid of the "jaggies" surround all objects.
Without Anti-aliasing, a straight line isnt actually a straight line (look closely).. it has many small jagged corners. Anti-aliasing removes this, the higher the X (4x, 8x e.t.c) the less jaggies there are on a line (simply said ;o )
Warning:
The options seem somewhat buggy. Set them on/off once and they remain that way until you restart the game.
I turned on Glints and they remained on despite checking/unchecking the box numerous times, the same with desyc animations.
Anti-Aliasing really improves the eye candy factor (especially with spearmen) but will give you a serious performance hit if you have a slower nvidia card.
Also for me, with AA turned on, all my screenshots come out black. I have to turn off AA (and make the game ugly) to take screenshots :)
So what are the AA settings in relation to actual AA?
low = 2
medium = 4
high = 6 ?
The reason I'm asking is for some reason i don't get an option for medium or high, only low. I'm satisfied with my game speed now and don't want to lag it any further. What setting should i set it to?
I have a 9800 pro 128mb card and P43.0E (~5900 3dmarks w/ 2003) and playing on huge unit size. Any suggestions from similar hardware owners? I was thinking of making it 2x in my CP with temporal AA. But if low = 4x, then i'll set it to 4x w/ temporal AA.
