Anti Aliasing in TEF

For NVIDIA Cards


NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > select The Endless Forest from from the list (it should be detected automatically, if it's not use the browse function- 'add') > Adjust to your will

Guides


Intel Users
AMD Users (see last few posts), Manual for AMD (see page ten)
If you have a different type of card, google it.
For non-brand cards it may be more difficult, and maybe even impossible, though.

How to know what graphics card you have


Win 7
Go to the start menu and type 'dxdiag'. A program with a blue circle and an X should appear
Win XP
Start menu > Run > type dxdiag and click OK

These are my settings for guidance! If you have a good CPU, feel free to notch them up even more.
Also, using pre-rendered frames to the max seems to
boost my FPS without problems.

Amary, I updated the blog with some other options, maybe you can have a look and see if it helps?

On your program list? If it doesn't click 'add' and you should be able to browse for TEF. Mine didn't come up straight away either

That's strange.. my CPU is nothing special but it seems to run fine regardless. My GPU is the 750 Ti and it's good, but there's many more better out there. You could try play with the settings a little when you feel up to it.

Well I'll try adjusting the settings. It could have been because of so many people being connected, along with the rain.

Changed the settings and it's still slow, but not as bad. Not sure if the anti-aliasing has anything to do with that or not, since my game does sometimes just slow down for no discernable reason.

Fly, no worries! Did changing the pre-rendered frames to high help the FPS or the anti-aliasing?
Am, I think that could be the forest. Sad This morning I started with almost 30 FPS, in the evening with rain and lots of players.. 7-11. TEF is not amazingly optimized, sadly.
Everyone else, hope it helped!
