Greetings all. I'm having a bit of trouble with the graphics for FPSC on my new comp. I bought a decent video card that works wonders on all my other games progrograms ect. but with FPSC I get horrible 'jaggies'(see pic) and generally bad graphics. Is there something via setup files for FPSC that I'm missing to allow the graphics card to do its thing? If you need to know the card is a -

I would say that this is your antialiasing (however I am unsure if vanilla has it yet, and i dont know if u use a mod).

EDIT
Also, check your screen resolution.

antialiasing is set for the best setting. It shows in other games. It's just FPSC that makes the jaggies kind of 'bleed' up and down

Screen res is 1600x900

I could deal with it if it were regular jaggies but these bleed to points vertically.

try setting all the settings to default on your video card, it helps a bit but still jaggie a bit.

What OS are you using? Windows Vista or 7?

My Windows Vista scales 1024x768 images poorly and creates jagged egdes. Test games inside FPSC can only run in this resolution. In built games you can set your own resolution and get much better results.

edit: Windows XP didn't have this problem at all and 1024x768 always looked fine even when stretched on a wide screen monitor.

Just a thought.

I have W7 and 1920x1080 monitor. Before I updated my graphics card software. I was able to set the monitor to 1024x768 and it would show up like that on my monitor. There would be black bands of course on either side. Now it just simply stretches the image to the full width of the screen. It still looks better than the having resolution set at 1920x1080.

However, if you haven't tried what Scurvy Lobster suggested, setting your built game to the resolution of your monitor's suggested resolution, then, I would give that a try.

I know it doesn't take much to pull off FPSC building but I'd like
to think its your video card. ATI cards do some weird stuff at times.
I used to use ATI fanaticly and after having games running
with a horrible amount of bugs and tears (on my HD 6850) I switched
to Nvidia. I have a laptop with a ATI Mobility 4250 in it and it can
run FPSC quite well but they have different drivers then your card.

All I can say is try updating your drivers if you haven't as well.
It can work wonders for you. If that fails, switch to Nvidia if
you can. I made the switch and all my problems went away.
