Anisotropic Filtering saves eyes

[ThirdNostril]

I thought my eyesight was getting worse for a moment today. Turns out AF was disabled, most likely from the last time I updated nvidia drivers.

Everyone who doesn't have this enabled should go to their video card control panel and enable anisotropic filtering (8x or 16x, this has barely any performance hit)

Here's a screenshot comparison, note the top back of the python's textures.

Also, why isn't AF in the display options of the game?

Maybe I need to try this at home, not on mobile....

...Yeah, it doesn't support mobile. Lol

I've noticed the same and do normally run with it at 16x.. Although i do always forget to re-enable it after a driver update.. So thanks for reminding me.. must check when I get home

We have the option for terrain rendering only (Terrain Sampler Quality, up to 8x AF) but you're right, not game-wide.
