Halo 2 Vista Jagged edges

Hello all,

the PC I am running Halo 2 Vista on is:
Core 2 dou T7200 @2Ghz
2GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 7900GS w/ 256MB memory
Vista Ultimate


The problem is this: The edges of some objects in the game appear to be extremely jagged. They are usually walls or other objects (ie. not your weapon or hands). This has nothing to do with AA, I have it enabled at 4x. Plus the "jagged-ness" does not seem to coorolate with pixels (so it doesnt just look like AA is disabled, it is completely differnt).
I have tried this on a monitor (since my laptop's native screen resolution is not supported by Halo 2) and the problem is still there. It does get better if I increase the screen resolution to 1600x1200, but I can not do this on my laptop (that res is not avaliable).

Here are some screenshots, look at the edges of the floors and walls:

Here is a 1600x1200 screenshot, the problem is still there but not as noticible. (look at the end of the cylinder farther away from you)

also, in some parts of the game, the textures look really bad...did they leave some textures un-altered from the xbox version, or is this a problem too?

I have all the updated vid card drivers and DirectX 9.0C. I reeally want to get this fixed....thanks!!!

Try the AA on different settings.

Did you use the in-game AA or forced it with the drivers? If in-game, give it a try by forcing it in the nVidia control pannel.
I don't recall if the in-game AA worked right for me. :/

Nope, I set the AA setting in the nVidia control pannel to 4x and it gives the same problem.


It is interesting though, when I play in multiplayer there is no problem with the graphics.

Any other sugestions?

Thanks

People have been noticing something similar, but not so apparent. There are little white lines on the edges of some surfaces. They look related. I personally think it's something wrong with the bloom effect.

It looks like it's on medium or maybe even low, try turning that up too.

It's not getting in the way of playing the game is it? From the looks of the pics it isn't too serious.

hmm I realy want to get this fixed...any other sugestions?

Also is ther any way to get it to use 1440x900 res?

If the resoltuion isin't there, you can't use it (we hope this gets patched some day).

Go into the NVIDIA Control Panel (Right click your desktop and then select "NVIDIA Control Panel" from the drop down box). Select "3D Settings", then "Adijust image settings with preview".

Now select "Use my preference emphasizing" and move the slider to the right (Quality) side.
