Super Sample Anti-Aliasing, working?

[Pixiewrath]

<p>I made a thread about antialiasing not working on ATI cards.On this computer, however, I am using Nvidia and can use normal anti-aliasing without a problem.Enabling the newly introduced Super Sample Anti-Aliasing does nothing to the game however. It still looks edgy, and the bloom effects go away. This is with Shader 1.0 enabled. Not tried with 3.0 yet, but last patch notes said it would now work without shader 3.0 too.Anyone seen a difference with this enabled, other than losing the bloom/light effects?</p>

<p>Like I wrote, on this machine I use Nvidia. It is not my main gaming rig. Still don't see any softer edges with this feature on though.</p>
