[solved?]Blurry fonts & edges

[Speadge]

Hi,

Since the update to 1.1 i was one of those bothered by hard-to read text (even in settings-menu) and very blurry edges. especially in KSC view.

I tried very much around driver-settings and nothing seemed to help. - So i ended up with installing GemFX and adding HDR to the screen, wich really changed things - will upload pictures later.
But thats not the point. I think i finally found the reason on my rig, changed it - and nopw i dont see any difference between my gemFX settings and the vanilla anymore.

First of all, i am on Nvidia with driver 368.sth.
using dx9 mode - please dont rely on this for other rendering methods!

So i went into the 3d-settings menu of the driver(nvidia control panel) and was also bothered not beeing able to delete my KSP-profiles here, since it seemed that i also wasnt able to add different pathes for the KSP_x64 to try out some settings.
so i wiped the profiles with an external Program andd recreated a new one for a test-install.

 

Reading carefully through the manual there was a hint, that some applications might not be able to use AA with HDR on their own, and that u should force the driver to "override the application settings"...
.. well, tried that and - well, there was a huge difference.
I think the reason might be that KSP / unity is using another method of AA than the driver is...
"If Override any Application Setting is selected, it will ignore any AA set using the in-game settings, and instead attempt to forcibly apply the type of AA you specify under Antialiasing - Setting."
You should make sure, that u still set AA ingame to 2x, since it might deactivate PPFX (edge-highlighting) if you completely disable it

 

Im not 100% sure if this is everything you need to change, since i wiped the whole profile and set some other settings additionally - but thats what i remember to do the trick at last.
I'd be happy to provide you with more information - depending on the feedback.. So feel free to ask.

Looking forward to argue with you guys about it - but please NO Squad / update flame in here!
Im just trying to solve this particular problem and i am going to report every post that is offtopic / not adding something to this discussion.
