Implementation of Anisotropic filtering

Nukeclears · Mar 13, 2015

The game desperately needs Anisotropic filtering implemented. Currently it looks like it's either using none, or using something like Trillinear or Bilinear filtering.

I fully agree this may help a LOT in clarity on some texture details

same goes with improvements to anti-aliasing (please separate native GPU AA from post-process AA)
so one can use 4x AA + SMAA at once

same goes for the supersampled rendering, why there is only 1.0x and 1.5x and not 1.15x , 1.25x , 1.33x ? same for lower value like 0.85x
it sort of negates the possibility to fine-tune performance hit and quality settings

Boggles my mind why it's still not there.

DO IT, FD.

I totally agree with this. As the PC Master Race we must have options!

This is nothing new. We've been talking about it since last year. AF obviously needs to be in the game:

Huh. That does seem like a strange omission.

Considering it's hardly noticeable at all and only then while in a station. Combined with the fact it's very easy to enable in the graphics card properties (as you pointed out)
I'm not sure it's even a tiny issue let alone a desperate one.

+1 Please add Anisotropic filtering! The jaggies break immersion.
