    Accounts Lost Completely?

    I have two buddies of mine who lost their accounts completely and cannot log in. They had to sign up again and are currently waiting for approval again. Is this due to the outage? Is losing accounts all-together something to be expected with any future losses of data? Just curious, because...

    8800 Problems (Last-Ditch Effort; Ready To Give Up)

    I appreciate those who have attempted to help with my issues, but I've found no resolve to the issues I'm having with my GTX, and apparently, I'm not the only one. This is my last-ditch effort to try to find out just what the problems might be, and if anyone has had and resolved the...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    No, actually it's not because of the screen shot. That's exactly what I'm staring at in-game - a lot of jagged edges on a lot of certain types of objects. So it's exactly as you're seeing in the screens - jagged edges. Look at the screens above again: look at the one labeled "Manual Settings"...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    Hi Brent, First-off, if you have any suggestions about the issues I've been having, it would be appreciated. I'm not getting anyone who seems to really be able to tell me what might be happening here, and nothing I've done has yielded any results. Now, not to be "confrontational" here...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    Yes, I've tried both. Yes, I'm pretty sure the card isn't damaged, as I'm having absolutely no other problems. However, it's apparent that most still don't realize, so I'll let you know what I was told both directly from nVidia and from Brent from [H] who reviewed the GTX/GTS: Override &...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    So, are you telling me you're seeing it as well on an 8800GTX? Would be helpful to know. Oh, and my resolution has now changed with my new monitor to: 1650x1050 and I'm still getting bad texture crawling, "shimmering" and these jagged edges you guys have seen in the screen shots. I could...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    It's doing that too... was going to mention it, but hadn't yet. What does that mean, exactly? The cause? Solution? When I'm standing still at certain angles, I can get both and/or one or the other, depending on what I'm looking at. In those screens, no "crawling" (i.e. no shimmering or moving...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    Hmmm... could the 158.22 driver not be totally "working" right now, I wonder...? I have had the control panel crash when switching between screens regularly. Though, if it wasn't working in terms of applying certain settings or running the GPU right, how would I know? I don't know...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    I'm sure it could be better, and I definitely plan on getting a new monitor soon, but yeah... it certainly isn't a monitor issue. I'd have to re-install both F.E.A.R. and the expansion to be sure (just uninstalled both earlier to be sure of something), but I could swear I don't remember having...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    Edit: I'm running XP Pro. The latest Forceware driver on nVidia's site is still the 158.22 version, so that's what I've been using. Monitor is a 19" ViewSonic which is actually pretty decent. Never noticed an issue before, and I have a pretty "critical eye" for visuals. Running at 1600x1200...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    Second image is bigger if you click on it once it opens, but a little "fuzzier" where the stairs are concerned than what it actually looks like in-game. However, the jaggies are accurate, if still a bit under-played in that image. Either way, if you can compare and let me know - or have...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    Yep, I'm positive soft shadows are not on. Double-checked just to be sure, and restarted quite a few times. I'd try to post the screens, repoman0 (thanks for offering to help like that, btw), so you can see what I mean (Image Shack resized the damn thing so it's not as big, harder to see; is...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    Tried it, no difference. This is getting a little irritating. Well, actually... it's out-right pissing me off. For a $600 GPU and a relatively new game, I wouldn't expect to be seeing this much aliasing at these angles in-game. F.E.A.R. uses FSAA (full-screen anti-aliasing) so maybe that has...

    AA & AF: Only so far it can be pushed?

    Yeah, I tried that setting as well (Multisampling), but it just didn't improve upon anything any more. That's why I'm curious if it's just the game, and like with any game (except for perhaps the "next gen" in titles) that there's just a limit to how much you can "clean up" the visuals. I know...
