Can you force AA and AF on Diablo II? If you are running in Direct3D?

killermonkey:
You can link a profile to load a certain application in the ATI catalyst thing, although it is extremely limited compared to NVIDIA's module (which is amazing btw if you have nforce north/south bridge!)

mookie:
Use CCC (should be in the system tray if you installed it). Right-click, choose your active display, then under 3D settings AA and AF are second and third on mine, both on "application managed" by default.

killermonkey:
You don't want it on Application Managed for this game because it doesn't support AA, AF natively! If you do that it will be disabled by default since the app isn't request it to be turned on in the driver.

In order to use AA, AF in older games (assuming they are actually using the right DX swap buffer, etc etc) you have to explicitly set your AF,AA settings in the driver. For newer games, they can override what the driver sets, like in HL2 you can setup your settings within game. This is a convenience, but it is doing exactly the same thing as your driver and you doing it manually.

Thanks everyone : )

Just for the record, it was pointless. The game slowed down, and had no notice-able effects, even on the 3D spells I couldn't tell. So... trade off of something (performance) for nothing (no noticeable removal of aliasing) in that game. Oh well, you know it will be supported in Diablo 3! lol

Anyone ever figure out how to get StarCraft to look good on a widescreen monitor?  some form of frozen resolution.. window..  I require some BGH!
