Hi,

(EDIT: this is NWN 1)

This is the first time I installed NWN on Windows 7 and I noticed that the text in the menus (e.g. Main Menu; NOT in the chat window) become blurry when I switch anti-aliasing on.

(NOTE: It's NOT affected by "Use high resolution font" setting which only applies to chat window text).

It's a hit and miss. Sometimes the text in menus will appear correctly, but most often they're blurred. Sometimes if I turn anti-aliasing off and again on, it'd appear correctly for some time. I'd post screenshots, but when I use "Prt Scr" button, and paste it just pastes a black screen.

I'm happy to play with anti-aliasing off, but I'm wondering if this is actually a known issue that has a solution available.

Using Windows 7 64 bit and GeForce GTX 970 graphics card.

Thanks.

I believe this is an OpenGL / Windows issue and not an AA issue. If you have an nVidia graphics card, you're less likely to encounter blurry text -- which happens in many OpenGL games -- than if you have an ATI card. What makes it worse is that NWN uses non-standard OpenGL, and NWN does not like (as you've discovered) the new 'edge detect' anti-aliasing. Just run without it.

Sorry to necro this thread, but I'm having this exact same problem with that exact same configuration (same OS and GPU). I've turned off anti-aliasing completely and turned on anisotropic filtering via the nvn.ini file. Disabling anti-aliasing fixed a bug with the intro movies stuttering, but I'm still getting ever so slightly blurry graphics and text (meaning I'm not getting true 1920x1080 resolution, I confirmed this once when I crashed to desktop and was still on the same wonky resolution). That occasional clearing-up thing also happens when I play around with the anti-aliasing slider; sometimes it fixes the resolution and everything's properly sharp again, sometimes it doesn't, seems to be completely random. I'm at my wits end to find a permanent solution here ): Does anyone know how I can get the fuzziness to stop for good?
