AA????

from GalCiv2 Forums
I read in the manual(and from wut i understand from reading the forums) that anti aliasing is from 0-6 however i only have the option to choose between 0 and 1, doesnt bother me much kuz the game still looks great but...WHY!?!

Radeon 9250 128mb

so why can i only choose between 0 and 1 AA, that card isnt that out of date is it lol?

Ah, also is there anything besides the vidcard that would effect that sort of thing?

Probably. Debug.err? and most cards are (I think) 256, if that explains at all.

GalCiv2 gives you as options whatever your videocard/driver reports that it supports. If it doesn't report to GC2 correctly, you may be able to force a higher setting in your windows display properties.

Update your drivers. That's always fixed any video problems of that nature that I've ever had.

a 9250 is a pretty feeble card, maybe GC2 realizes this and is keeping you from bogging your computer down

Modern video cards using multi-sampling for their primary edge anti-aliasing functionality. The 9250, however, was not capable of that. It used super-sampling and I don't know if there is an API for that in DirectX (other than simulating it, of course).

lol well shit, the wierd thing about the drivers is ive tried to update them but once i do the game doesnt work anymore, the menu(the red one where u click play or w/e) takes liek 5mins to load, it fades in reeallly slooww and i cant get past that point, it even takes a few mins for the buttons to highlight after leaving my cursor over them...i really want a new vid card >.< So yeah im stuck with drivers from 2004, luckily though even the betas have been stable as a rock for me...but yeah once i update my drivers the game doesnt work(the irony kills me) and i end up using system restore to get the game working agian :\
