how do you get AA and AF in CounterStrike?

Geminiwave · Aug 27, 2004, 07:01 AM

Hey I just started playing CS for the first time the other day because my friend insisted that it was the best thing since sliced bread.

Well its fun and all...buuuuuut...Well I really wish I could get AA and AF running on it because it looks kinda ass without the good AF and heck, AA is always a nice thing.

can anyone help? Thanks!

You probably have to force it on through the vidcard's control panel.

yeah but it still doesnt work in CS. something about it going through steam. Anyway I saw some parameters you were suppose to add in steam to get it to accept the cards AA and AF settings...does anyone know these?

are you talking the 6 year old CS? or the new CS?

it always works for me to force it throught the CP. remember, force it for the renderer you want. don't change it for Direct x if you are playing in OpenGL. i know it may sound silly, but i've done it before :P

okay cool i'll try it.

and yes this is the 6 yearold CS. its CS, not CS:S

ok try this.

CS needs to be run in 32 bit mode in order to get aa and af to run, so in the properties of your short cut add in -32bpp at the end of it

it should run it into 32 bit mode and allow you to use aa af.

make sure u change ure AA and AF settins in Opengl not Direct3d

Geminiwave · Aug 30, 2004, 06:47 AM

right I already know that.

so why is it bad to set the game to D3d anyway? It does have the setting for it...does it just not work as well in d3d?

Son_of_Thunder · Aug 31, 2004, 01:27 AM

that's correct

I just used to create a steam radlink (for opengl) and it always worked well for me.
