  • Forcing on Anti-Aliasing through ATI Catalyst Control Center is now supported in the following titles: Supreme Commander 2, Dirt2, Avatar and Battlefield Bad Company2 (single GPU configurations)
  • StarCraft(r) II: Wings of Liberty beta on ATI Radeon™ 5800 products running in an ATI CrossFireX configurations : moving units near the edge of a cliff no longer causes them to fall because the height field is corrupted

The scrolling lines would not appear on the zero dark thirty map, so for me this application profile worked, no lines at all, even with vsync disabled.

Since installing these and running with forced AA in Bad Company 2 the game has crashed probably 5 times in 2 hours. More crashes than I already had total in my 50 hours of game time so far.

Can you force aa in dx9 with this profile or is it just for dx10/11?

It seems you can force AA in DX9 only, but AAA/SSAA work in DX9

bit of a dilema though, do I play with AAA/SSAA and miss out on the goodies in DX11? hmm

I might prefer dx9 until they fix the loading times, wasn't the only benefit of dx11 softer shadows+aa?

And ssaa+dx9 or even aaa>softer shadows when it comes to image quality.

/edit

The shadows really look horrible in dx9, it was nice to have much shorter loading times, and antialiasing on foliage, but there was some texture flickering present in dx9 that isn't there when you run it in dx11.

it has a few things over DX9

softer shadows like you mentioned (they also dont flicker on certain angles & surfaces)
full resolution post process effects (instead of quarter res)
better water quality
better HBAO quality

and a couple other minor differences but I cant remember, something to do with lighting

Do you have to uninstall the previous "Application profile" before installing this new one or can you install directly on top of it?

After running bc2 with aaa enabled I really wish that it also worked in dx10/11, it does wonders for the foliage

Nope, install directly in addition.

I hear ya brother

the only option atm is to run SSAA by editing the config, but unfortunately this only works for single player as it makes the mp menus unusable.. the mouse cursor doesnt line up with the on screen options.

It's easier to just force it with d3doverrider.

i'd rather wait, instead of having to install additional software, just to force vsync in one game, when there clearly is a workaround with no extra software...

Vsync not working unless you change resolution is a game issue nothing to do with the drivers as it also occurs on Nvidia cards.
