BUG: Anti-aliasing still broken for AMD cards

BUG: Since the Shadowmantle patch went live, Anti-aliasing options are broken for AMD cards until now, still not fixed.

I made a post reporting it after the patch went live. It's been a few months, and the bug hasn't been acknowledged(?).

Hey Wimp, I'm having the exact issue. Your post is absolutely the only thing I have found on this. Have you found a way to address this? I have removed gameprefs and restarted multiple times. No luck. Super frustrating.

I also got the graphics settings reset on first login, since then the graphics settings stick on subsequent logins but I've noticed Anti-aliasing no longer works.

The settings for Anti-aliasing doesn't stick and the options have become glitchy. When I try to select any choice, none/MSAA, 2x/4x/8x, the selected option will display something random or the word [UNTRANSLATED]. Example, I choose MSAA on the None/MSAA option, and after clicking, it displays 2x being chosen but can also display any of the None/MSAA/2x/4x/8x/[UNTRANSLATED]. 2x isn't even a selectable option for that choice of None/MSAA, despite it being displayed as chosen. Likewise, choosing between 2x/4x/8x can also display None or MSAA or [UNTRANSLATED] being chosen.

But despite any of the options chosen or displayed as chosen, the effect of Anti-aliasing does not apply visually.

For reference, my card is an AMD HD7870 Radeon.

    Perhaps some consider that a workaround, but it's not a fix. People who enjoy playing games have little reason to revert to DX9 when performance isn't an issue here. It's not a workaround when considering it's a trade off on features in terms of eye candy in order to to make another feature work, meaning something is still amiss.

    There's nothing you can do to fix it on your end. All of us using AMD cards are stuck without AA until Cryptic decides to bug fix or support AMD cards.

    The AA settings change, but regardless what settings it shows, just look at your characters on the select screen, there is no AA at all. The issue here is the settings does absolutely nothing.

    If anything, the game is smoother with DX11 for those with a decent GPU- as well as looking nicer. However, the DX11 renderer is still buggy and half-baked, jumping from fullscreen to windowed when you tab out, and various other things. A lot of those bugs aren't peculiar to AMD users, either- hitting NVidia users too.
