Hi all,

I've got the following problem:

I'm using reshade with my Microsoft flight Simulator X. I've got an i7 4790K CPU @stock speed and a PNY GTX960.

Whenever I'm using just my Nvidia Inspector to set my anti aliasing settings in game, the anti-aliasing looks a lot better with just Nvidia than with reshade enabled.

For Nvidia Inspector I use 8x SQ (2x multisampling+2x Super sampling) and with just Nvidia Inspector all the lines look perfectly fine.

Then whenever I install reshade, my anti aliasing settings actually worsen and the lines look a lot more jagged. Turning off SMAA altogether doesn't help either.

Would anyone please be able to help me improve the anti aliasing with reshade enabled? Preferably I would just like to use the Nvidia Inspector settings without reshade meddling with the AA settings (though turning off SMAA doesn't help at all), or I would prefer the SMAA in reshade to be set in such a way, I will be similar or better than the 8xSQ I use with Nvidia Inspector.

My SMAA settings:
#define SMAA_THRESHOLD 0.10 //[0.05 to 0.20] Edge detection threshold.
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS 16 //[0 to 98] Determines the radius SMAA will search for aliased edges
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 6 //[0 to 16] Determines the radius SMAA will search for diagonal aliased edges
#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 0 //[0 to 100] Determines the percent of antialiasing to apply to corners.

// -- Advanced SMAA settings --
#define COLOR_EDGE_DETECTION 1 //[0 or 1] 1 Enables color edge detection (slower but slightly more acurate)
#define SMAA_DIRECTX9_LINEAR_BLEND 0

Would anyone please be able to help?

P.S. using the SweetFX 1.5 template for now, since SweetFX 2.0 default template seems to crash my FSX instantly.

nobody a clue how to improve the AA with the SMAA in reshade?

Try this

#define SMAA_THRESHOLD 0.05 //[0.05 to 0.20] Edge detection threshold.
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS 96 //[0 to 98] Determines the radius SMAA will search for aliased edges
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 16 //[0 to 16] Determines the radius SMAA will search for diagonal aliased edges
#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 20 //[0 to 100] Determines the percent of antialiasing to apply to corners.

I'm afraid this doesn't appear to be working either. Whatever SMAA setting I use, it still makes my AA worse. Even disabling SMAA doesn't achieve anything. Any other ideas perhaps?

This is the file I use:

  /                       Description                           /
  '------------------------------------------------------------/

Game:Microsoft Flight SImulator X
Author:Fay "Twitchy" Cheung
SweetFX version: 1.5.1
Description:This config is set in mind for FSX with ENB, as ENB is able to use palettes flexibly and perform tinting or colour correction. This config still works quite nicely without ENB installed.If you are operating on a 900+ monitor (which you probably are), you may want to tone down the sharpening to 0.8 depending on your dpi. Sharpening should also be lowered if ENB is not in use. Vignette should have a ratio of 1.20, radius to 0.80, amount to -1.60 and slope to 6.

Please note when tweaking settings that higher numbers does not always equal better (nor does lower).
Finding the best settings for your game and your taste is about finding just the right amount to apply.

If you made a good setttings preset please share it with your friends, on forums and websites,
and/or submit it to the SweetFX Settings Database : http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/

This description field and the above Game and Author fields are here so you can fill in your own details for the presets you create.
Just delete this description and fill in your own and then share it with the world.

Hope you enjoy my mod.

This may be a bit late for you (since you last posted nearly 3 weeks ago), but I hope it helps you or someone else anyway...

I believe your problem isn't the SMAA at all, but rather the LumaSharpen. The issue really is basically this: SSAA and MSAA work on the scene geometry, and in most cases are the best, or among the best AA options if your system has the power to use them. SweetFX, however, is purely post-process, and works against the image that is output from the game engine renderer. This means that LumaSharpen is applied after your AA systems. Additionally, in SweetFX LumaSharpen even processes after or concurrent with SMAA.

Since LumaSharpen is designed to detect distinctions and enhance them, it naturally enhances aliasing artifacts. And with powerful settings, it can detect such artifacts even through antialiasing processing. This means that LumaSharpen can re-enhance aliasing artifacts and make them more apparent. Since this takes place after antialiasing systems, it effectively undoes some of the antialiasing.

I suggest you try disabling LumaSharpen and SMAA both, and see what the result is for antialiasing. Then re-enable SMAA and see what the result is. Then re-enable LumaSharpen and check the result a third time. I'm willing to bet that you will only find the aliasing artifacts enhanced with SweetFX when LumaSharpen is enabled.

As for SMAA settings, generally lower thresholds are better, higher steps are better, and lower corner rounding is better. So I would try settings of 0.05, 98, 16, and 0 respectively.

If you just can't live without LumaSharpen, you may need to make compromises between AA quality vs. sharpening strength. You can reduce the effects of sharpening by changing the LumaSharpen settings. Strength obviously increases the strength of the sharpening effect. I believe clamp at higher values also allows a stronger sharpening effect, but I haven't played with it too much. I haven't messed around at all with the pattern or offset bias, so I'm not sure what changes there would affect.

I suggest experimenting a bit. As with any experiment, you should always limit variables as much as possible, so I would disable all other SweetFX shaders while you're trying to figure things out, or, at the very minimum, do not change them around. You should change only one setting at a time, and start with extreme changes (such as changing SMAA threshold from 0.05 up to 0.2, of changing LumaSharpen strength from 3.0 down to 0.1, etc.). Once you better understand what each effect and setting actually does to the visual image, you can then work toward the settings that will work best for you.

Good Luck,
Drake Phoenix

I hope it's not looked down on too much to bump old threads, but I think I'm having the same problem.

I set up a ReShade config in the Mediator using SweetFX + a few from CustomFX. When I go to toggle it on/off I notice suddenly things are blurred and aliased.

I removed all the effects one by one and then added single effects. No matter what I removed the same thing happened, noticeable in 4K and in native. Here's what it looks like when just SMAA is added:


And the same thing happens when any effect is added, like only vibrance:


Does anyone know what it could be?

Thanks.

PS: the game is Enslaved.

How are you applying the antialiasing? I've noticed a similar problem with Phantasy Star Online and a few other games. My conjecture so far is that, if you're using an antialiasing compatibility flag to force on antialiasing (which I think you have to do for Enslaved), enabling ReShade adds on additional passes which confuse the driver's heuristics that determine what to apply antialiasing on. (This might be fixable with a different AA flag... but finding that would be a pain.)

I originally was using some fixes from this thread for the MonkeyEngine.ini file. I reverted that back to default and made sure I had no profile set up in Inspector, everything to default and ReShade is still affecting the game like this...

I reverted to only using SweetFX and it's okay. SMAA, Vibrance, anything applied works, but I wonder why ReShade being hooked in was so different. I would have liked to use the other tweaks I had.

Turn off both below in the Common.cfg file in the Reshade folder.

#define RFX_InitialStorage 1 //[0:1] //-Set this to 0 if you !only! use the SweetFX suite and want some additional fps.
#define RFX_DepthBufferCalc 1 //[0:1] //-Set this to 0 if run an application that does not allow depth buffer access or you use no depth dependent effects and want some additional fps.

Did not change the aliasing issue but thanks.

Make sure you do not force any sort of antialiasing through your graphics card driver settings. This is usually what causes this extreme blurring.
