Hey how does one turn the Anti-alias option above 1x

from GalCiv2 Forums
So far when playing the game I've noticed my ships and ground combatants have absolutley no texture.. they're like floating shapes of color.. and look like $#!t.. as do the rest of all the other races.. is that normal or are the ships supposed to look like something more than floating lego constructs.. I figured it was in the alias option.. but I cant get it above 1x.. perhaps someone could help me.. thanks

The AA option will only allow settings supported by your video card.

If your textures are missing, that's another problem entirely. You most likely are using a very old video card that does not fully support DirectX 9 (this is a minimum requirement of the game), such as a Geforce2, Geforce4 MX, or Radeon 7XXX. The only real solution if that's the case is to get a new video card (your performance with the game is likely quite poor with one of these cards anyway). If your system only supports 1x AA, then I would suspect this is the case.

Do you have the most recent update installed? I had the described problems with the release version and the 1.1 patch. No textures if your countrysetting is not EN or something similar strange. With the new Patch 1.3beta, I don't experience these problems anymore (don't know about 1.2, never played it).

If it's an issue with an old video card (as Darth Kryo mentioned) and you don't want to invest into a new video card: I find that the game is running very smoothly if you zoom out until you have the icons for the items on the map.

Actually Kyro would probably be hitting the spot here.. this is my bro's temp desktop and it runs an old Gforce 2.. my computer is in the shop but runs a stealth diamond pro.. so I should probably nab that

other than the ship textures the game runs just fine
