No Hardware Anti-Aliasing under DirectX 11?

[FaileExperiment]

Please, yes. It's pretty sad that a modern (ish) game doesn't have this.

I'd prefer a necro post like this on a subject that still has not been addressed...

Seeing how old this thread is, and the many threads I could find on the forum and elsewhere, people complaining about the lack of satisfying AA options and the amount of flickering, shimmering and glimmering found in the environment no matter how optimized the available settings are, I just don't understand why SE are yet to address the matter.. At least any answer would be better than nothing.

What rubbish this hasnt been sorted out, I am sticking to dx9 until a flag is added, it simply looks better when I dont have to deal with shimmering that not even DSR can resolve. This is a shame to nvidia works.

Plus an eyefinty fullscreen fix on dx11 not borderless windowed only. I can't get my native res due to this but can with dx9

Anyone think there'll ever be a dx12 update? Maybe it'll be included then :P

Any news? FFXA is killing my soul. Please MSAA now.

If that is kicking your soul, you must be an exceptionally fragile person...

This game can play at MAX settings on and will only run even smoother as next gen comes out and so on.. To over haul this game a 3rd time... Can't see it ever happening.
Look to next gen doing MAX setting 4k down sampling for best quality.

As nice as DX12 is and will be. To lower over head on a 5 year old game isn't worth it. YA FFXIV is 5 years old... seems to be going good for a 5 year old game.

To say that FFXIV is 5 years old would be to say that the upcoming System Shock remake is over 20 years old, FFXIV is not even 3 years old at this point. The game was built from the ground up after 1.0, it's a different engine entirely. Any CPU heavy game could do with lowering CPU overhead, especially FFXIV when there can be a lot of characters on screen at once. In very crowded (think Idyllshire after a patch has just been released) areas the frame rate is destroyed because of the heavy reliance on the CPU.

I fired up the DX11 client again seeing as though there was a patch(3.35) and its still broken.

Cant click the title screen or any menu in full screen mode (UWVGA GTX 1080).

Still terrible aliasing making it look worse than the DX9 version. Even with SMAA in reshade

I have a feeling SE has fired a lot of the development team that built DX11 or they outsourced it to people they found online because the neglect has gone on for so long.
