En masse has specifically said editing the ini is not actionable. This was after they said editing the ini files is actionable.

Actions will speak louder than words. Editing the ini files is ridiculous to take action against so I assume this is En Masse Entertainment not knowing what the fuck they are talking about.

Game is pretty broke without editing ini files.

I believe the official stance is that it is not supported. So if you fuck yourself over, EME will not help you there. Texture edits fall within similar category.

Tonka is a complete idiot. From before and now.

These are configuration files strictly for the purpose of user configurations.

When you are setting options within the game, guess what, you are editing files. Technically changing anything in the option menus is actionable by this logic.

btw does anyone know how to specifically implement this change

Add Antialiasing with SMAA Injector:
Do above FXAA fix!
DISABLE NVIDIA/ATI AA! (it doesn't work anyways)
Download: https://sites.google.com/site/mrhaandi/injectSMAA_by_mrhaandi_1.2.7z
Extract dx9 folder into:
\TERA\Client\Binaries\
Toggle with Pause/Break to see Jaggies Appear/Vanish like Magic! (default is ON)

ie: the line that says "DISABLE NVIDIA/ATI AA!", do i need to actually do anything for that line, or is it like a title.

Not sure. Supposedly its possible but the line in the options.ini file seem to supersede anything you do here. One of the settings toggles AA and this fix supposedly works in other Unreal Engine 3 games but not this one. The moment the game goes to load a venue I believe the setting on the options slider takes precedence.

Would need someone tech savvy and with nVidia to chime in and know for sure though.

To clarify EME's probable standpoint:

Unlike the NPC's in the game. This is totally EME's and Bluehole's first rodeo.

So for official standpoints they are going to be really strict because they are terrified of a common exploit in there service shutting them down while simultaneously being non actionable. Commonly this is referred to as a deathblow bug.

Since neither company wants to alienate (like EA with origin), no actions will ever be taken. You could probably full bore hack in tera for quite a long time before someone pulls the plug on you.

Its ok. We have Patrick Wyatt with Tera development. He is from Blizzard Entertainment circa 2010 or so (lead dev of R&D actually). These guys know how to run an MMO in spirit.

To give you an idea of how long of a leash we are given. Even after patching neither my INI tweaks nor my Elin de-censorship mods were reverted. The new patch used those files like an old friend, they are official files after all.

EDIT: Also if you check there website, you will see a cavalcade of screenshots that could only have been taken with a lot of ini tweaks and stuff. So clearly EME supports it on some level. Just dont go complaining to them when your shit breaks.

I wouldnt gripe about the censored textures if they werent downright awful. One briefs texture for like 30 sets whereas otherwise you get an actual set piece. This is just lazy.

Other races armor is left fine. Though in western they have done away with nipples on the females. I could go either way on this.

for ati cards there are AA settings you can turn on in catalyst control center under 3D Application Settings and I would assume you want these set to off or "use application settings". i'm guessing nvidia has similar options in their configuration software.

Damn it I really hate this last hour of waiting ...

Also is the SMAA injector better than the FXAA from the nvidia driver panel in terms of both IQ and performance? Tera doesn't seem like a game where you can get away with low fps.

Looking at that makes me feel so gross inside

The servers aren't up yet. They usually get up about 20 minutes after the time stated.

Yeah apparently having launcher open before the servers are open means you have to restart the launcher lol.

Really you're having issues? I have a 2500k not overclocked with everything on max and getting 45-60 fps while streaming.
