I'm a chinese , my english is very poor !!!
--------------------
The Key is How to " Use MSAA in the game option with SweetFX " ,
So, my SweetFX_Settings.txt just is a simple demo ,
Please other people may upload better SweetFX_Settings.txt ,
THX !!!
--------------------
1. Modify Config File
[ Path ]
C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Codemasters\GRID\hardwaresettings
[ File Name ]
hardware_settings_config.xml
[ Old ]
<multisampling option="4xmsaa">
<back_buffer level="4xmsaa" />
<colour_target level="4xmsaa" />
<minimap level="4xmsaa" />
<dynamic_envmap level="0" />
<static_envmap level="0" />
<rear_view_mirror level="0" />
</multisampling>
[ New - A ]
<multisampling option="4xmsaa">
<back_buffer level="0" />
<colour_target level="4xmsaa" />
<minimap level="0" />
<dynamic_envmap level="0" />
<static_envmap level="0" />
<rear_view_mirror level="0" />
</multisampling>
[ New - B ]
<multisampling option="4xmsaa">
<back_buffer level="0" />
<colour_target level="0" />
<minimap level="0" />
<dynamic_envmap level="0" />
<static_envmap level="0" />
<rear_view_mirror level="0" />
</multisampling>
2. Set "hardware_settings_config.xml" to "Only Read"
3. Set In SweetFX_Settings.txt ( ver 1.4 )
USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING 1
USE_LUMASHARPEN 1
USE_VIBRANCE 1
4. Perfect Run with SweetFX and MSAA !!!
If choose [ New - A ] ,
Then MSAA will work with SweetFX , SMAA in SweetFX won't work !!!
-----------
If choose [ New - B ] ,
Then MSAA won't work , But SMAA in SweetFX will work !!!
Never mind, I'm a moron!
Hi there! I followed the instructions on getting AA working in GRID from the link you provided. However I still can't actually enable it? If I turn it on in game, after the restart SweetFX no longer works. Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you so much for those information , now the problem of MSAA is fixed and you can enjoy playing Grid on MSAAX8 by simply following the steps above , basically all you have to modify is
<back_buffer level="0" />
<minimap level="0" />
the rest remains the same .
Note: if you change the in game options and the game restarts with no sweet fx working is because your
hardware_settings_config.xml
recovred the old data and you need to change it again .
Good luck and thank you again for your fix
Man you are Genius! I could,t get worked AA from Nvidiainspector, because it dont works if ingame MSAA is turned off; But also SweetFX dot works wis turned on ingame MSAA in GRID. Now this problem is solved.
Soon i'll share my configs: AA(Nvinspector) + SweetFX.
Thank you very much!
