So these PPAA settings..

[chivs688]

Is it up and working in game? Or are we awaiting something before it'll actually have an impact? Or am I not understanding correctly?

I went into the arma2oa.cfg file and set both values to 3, but am unsure what affect, if any, doing this has had?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Details
===
Since ArmA2OA build 89201 it is possible to use post processing anti-aliasing,
namely SMAA (Enhanced Subpixel Morphological Anti-Aliasing), version used: 2.7

Settings
===
In arma2oa.cfg were added new config entries:
PPAA=<number>;
PPAA_Level=<number>;

Accepted values for PPAA are:
0 - Disabled
1 - FXAA
2 - FXAA + sharp filter
3 - SMAA

Accepted values for PPAA_Level are:
0 - SMAA_PRESET_LOW
1 - SMAA_PRESET_MEDIUM
2 - SMAA_PRESET_HIGH
3 - SMAA_PRESET_ULTRA

Complexity of quality settings are based on default SMAA settings (version 2.7)

NOTE: SMAA can be enabled even if Post-Processing was disabled in video options!

That doesn't answer a single one of my questions in the slightest. I know what SMAA is. I know what SMAA does. I know which settings to change.

What I was asking was are these settings actually doing anything, because I saw in a thread something about them not doing anything until a further patch or something? Not sure, that's why I'm asking.

then i say run faps, and make comparsion screens.

The settings already work.

What that will not work until patch 1.61 are the in-game UI options for them.

[93897] New: AToC & PPAA added into UI video options


Soooo where are they? they are not in my Ingame Video options, just the usual Advanced settings. No AToC, or PPAA. I am running 93965. Though my first DL(just as the new Beta came out) was corrupt, maybe the new DL this morning(PST) has them removed? I would like to see a screen shot if anybody has the options in there UI?

You read the topic of that beta or the reply just above your post........

[kklownboy]

I did read. But Dwarden said it was in(UI) but not functioning in the UI. It works as before with this Beta, by setting it in the .cfg, But my question is; Does anybody have options for them in there Video Settings? My 93965 beta does not have the options in the UI, Maddogs post seems to suggest it is?...

Actually what he said was this:

* note: Video settings for ATOC and PPAA will not work w/o additional update on UI and language files, wait for RC of 1.61

Which means, UI and language files don't get updated in the betas (why they're so small, same with content updates and basically anything other than engine/code changes) so we have to wait for 1.61 RC (which will undoubtedly be a much larger file) to see them in the UI.
