But is that with string value or binary value.

String Value will have a value of 1
Binary Value will have a value of 0 31 00 00 <-- or something like that.
In which I have no idea what those values mean...

I only use string value, I tried once in the past with ATT but got constant crashes.

Thanks for the info!

I tried using EATM, ATMAlpha's for BF2 and all I notice was frame rate increase.

It's not there by default. Here is what I did:
I enabled EATM via ATT then I started regedit.exe to bring up the registry. Then I did a search for EATM then I added string value for AlphaSharpenmode then used a value of 1. I also made sure that EATM was a string and not binary value and used the value of 1.

Go to X:\Program Files\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools\Database and open New AA & AF Method.dtb with wordpad.
Add the following commands after "Value12=ZMRA,ZMRA,0,0,0,"
Value13=ATMAlphaFix,ATMAlphaFix,0,1,0,
Value14=ATMAlphaSharpenBias,ATMAlphaSharpenBias,0, 1,0,
Value15=ATMAlphaSharpenmode,ATMAlphaSharpenmode,0, 1,0,
Value16=ATMAlphaSharpenScale,ATMAlphaSharpenScale, 0,1,0,
Caution this may or may not create String value in your registry

No. For what? As I wrote before Catalys can read string and UNICODE Binary valus at same time.

And also we should wait until ATI make them as official options before trying to understand why we have crashes and so on.

This is my preset file uploaded, I have the necessary tweaks loaded and working. This file also has 2 other Alpha Sharpen tweaks available, so play around and see what works best/looks best for you.


Unrar this file to C:\Program Files\Ray Adams\ATI Tray Tools\Database

It will replace your New AA and AF methods.dtb file this is normal.

Adjust accordingly to your drive lettering.

After you add this goto tweaks, and advanced tweaks and then New AA and AF Methods and enable EATM and AlphaSharpenMode.

Enjoy =D


EDIT: Also for your convenience the most recent release of ATI Tray Tools [COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#001073]
