Am getting lots of negative comments in LFS forums for my screenshots, everyone tells me to turn up the AA settings in the windows graphics card options so the edges get softer and not all pixelated.

Tried to find a way to do that in CrossOver Games (the obvious way: Wine configuration, grafics) … but no luck.

Would it be possible to access these settings somewhere?

using CrossOver Games 10.3.0
and Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8
on a MacBook Pro Unibody, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Dual
has NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Hi...

...you have to enable this in registry, and, it doesn't
work for all games (depends on how they render graphics),
and further, it may attract a performance hit because of
the way it's currently implemented in winecore, and the
final caveat is it only provides up to 4x AA maximum iirc,
and so there will be minimal improvement anyhow...

...seems like the wiki.winehq page is down, so I can't
check the latest status on this...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D
Multisampling = enabled

...so, if you want to loose some fps, chew more system
resources and possibly uncover some bugs, while at the
same not get anywhere near 16xAA most Windows users
usually have available (so they'll still likely rag on
you anyway), that's the registry key you need to add...

Cheers!

Thanks, man!

Tried it anyway … hopeless tasks always seem attractive 😉

Hmmm … neither the Direct3D Folder nor the key is there. I am a bit reluctant to create them myself since winehqwiki prophecies:

+->Multisampling
[Set to "disabled" to prevent applications from seeing Wine's multisampling support. This is another legacy option that will most likely disappear at some point. There should be no reason to set this.]

Useful registry keys <– seen here

But thanks anyway for the tip, appreciate it! 😀

NICE! Now got AA settings under crossover 11.0.2!
Looks fantastic after looking at pixelated edges for years (literally)!

Funny thing is that I've got one migrated bottle in which the sound doesn't work, and another migrated bottle (also LFS) which has working sound.
When I open Wine configuration it says under Audio that no driver was found (the other bottle displays "winecoreaudio.drv" in the same spot.

Heard it isn't possible to add drivers … but can I make this bottle choose the existing driver? Duh.

Nevermind, all figured out months ago now. AA working nicely whenever I need it.
