Ive seen a few threads about this but i see no one has had success, however Ive come up with an idea...

What if within the winmain function (Before DarkGDK takes over) you talk to the system drivers and change its mode to force AA, and when the game closes, turn if off?

Would that be possable?... And dose anyone know how do it..

It is not a case of turning on AA. Even the game library can do that.
It is a case of keeping AA enabled under various conditions when the library is actually running.

forcing AA on would overcome that issue as proven by using the nvidia or ati control panels, thats what im talking about...

The library can turn AA on? wheres this function...

It's a very bad idea to change the driver settings just so a single application can have anti-aliasing. After all, to enable it you only need to change a single parameter on the call to create or reset the D3D device, why this wasn't implemented from day 1 I don't know.

There is no way at current zap, The only way to properly turn AA on is when the Direct3D Device gets created/reset as Dark Coder has said, And we have no control over the creation or reset of the device as its handled inside the engine

Sigh, i know exactly how simple it is... Witch is whats annoys me the most, there is no function to do it

Yes it is possible to turn AA on, it's just an extra parameter to set display mode...

That is not turning it on properly though. If you draw a sprite to the screen, it turns off.

You want to look at "dbSetDisplayModeAntialias ()" function call.

it is within the current latest Dark GDK.

As I mentioned before, it has problem with things like sprites and images displayed to the foreground. These tend to turn the AA off again.
