GeForce 7800



Driver-forced AA plus dithered shadows result in numerous rendering artefacts.

How to fix

Developers officially state that AA can't be combined with dithered shadows. Still the game, for some reason, allows to enable those simultaneously.

It seems neither NVIDIA, nor ATI, nor Monolith are going to fix that bug. Thus, we consider it outdated and move into archive. You should remember about this peculiarity and avoid driver-forcing AA in this game.
