101 I used antialiasing at 8x and the drawings were smooth as silk. Try it and see how it runs on your system. I was told not to bother with the anisotropic so that was always set at off or application controlled. Antialiasing really improves the eye candy IMHO. If your processor can do it then set it that way.
I am still having problems.
It was running smoothly with antialiasing on full at 8x and the anisotropic off. Clear sky frame rates of 70’s and furballs in the 30’s. I downloaded and used the Driver Cleaner from majorgeeks.com and followed the direction carefully. After reinstalling the latest drivers I still have that heartbeat hesitating, but my frame rates still read 30’s to 70’s depending on the action. Happens offline or online. I have tried two different GeoForce 6600GT cards. Tried various drivers with each. Have reinstalled Aces High after uninstalling it first. Even tried changing some video settings. It was running fine at the max 1600x1200 and I lowered it to 1024x768 but that did not help. I have the Hardware Vertex Processing checked. Also the Optimize Objects and Terrain. I am at a loss.
Is this a processor problem? It does not happen in any other games, but I really don’t play any other games but Battlefield 2.
