Turning on Anti-Aliasing makes GUI look terrible

[gryph]

Once again I find myself in a mild bind; the elements in the GUI I am working on (fonts & sprites) all appear to get distorted / blurred / what have you when I turn on any level of Anti Aliasing.





I've walked through other similar posts and their solutions, but to no avail.

- atlas & fonts have been entirely rebuilt from scratch
- added an Excessive amount of padding to see if it made any difference
- all widgets are at 1,1,1 scale & positioned at 'even' numbers (ie. 150, 48, 0)
- UIRoot is set to Pixel Perfect
- each widget/sprite/label was manually 'reset' to Pixel Perfect
- game window is set to an exact pixel size using even numbers

Included example are the smallest & therefore most extreme cases - however these issues are present on all my fonts & sprites (sliced & not).

Anti-aliasing is a method of smoothing out the jaggies on the edges of geometry and has absolutely no effect on textured quads -- especially with the depth pass turned off on the panel. Did you mean anisotropic filtering?

The only setting that I've touched in the Quality panel is Anti Aliasing.

Anything that is not "Disabled" results in the garbled mess shown above.

Changing anti-aliasing setting for me has no effect on how the UI looks.

OK - so it turned out that it was all the fault of the integrated graphics chip on my laptop being a piece of absolute garbage.

Probably should've assumed that sooner - I suppose the workaround will be to add in an AA toggle for people with terrible graphics cards after all.

Appreciate the swift responses.
