Anti-aliasing and flickering, jagged edges
Hi Trying to enjoy ME1 but the flickering, jagged edges are distracting me and ruin the immersion. Certain edges of the environment and some lights keep doing this. I tried the game on both a 1080p ...

Yes, I did as I said.
Did program settings too.
Added the game in program specific settings, set mode to override and selected the wanted AA quality.
No changes at all.
DSR doesn't work either, the higher resolutions are selectable, but can't apply them, the game reverts to 3840x2160.
It seems like external override is disabled.
I saw somewhere that somebody managed to override with a 3080... makes me think that it might be an issue with the 10xx series... no idea.
Maybe we'll get another patch or new driver. Who knows.
Does it work ok on yours?

@nyubiFor DSR resolution, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame\Config
Open GamerSettings.ini and edit manually the resolution lines like this:
ResX=2560
ResY=1440
...or whatever you want your new resolution to be.
I just finished ME1, and in ME2 it seems to be even worse in some cases. Jagged, flickering, shimmering (whatever word) edges are distracting.
Shame on them for calling this a remaster and not even addressing such an important issue. This will probably be the last game I ever pay for that has an EA logo on it.
On-topic: I tried Reshade (with FXAA, TAA and SMAA) and I tried overriding the Nvidia AA settings, but the problem is still there. And DSR seems to kill my framerate on my GTX 1070. In (ME1) Normany engine room I felt lag with DSR on.
Any temporary AA fix is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I saw that several people are having this problem (Youtube, Twitch), so it's not just us. It's a general problem, I guess. I hope someone fixes it soon.

Thanks for the advice, but I've already tried that too.
It simply doesn't work if I set anything higher than my screen's native 3840x2160 (DSR factors are enabled in driver settings).
When the game starts the screen keeps flashing green and I have to do a reset as it's completely non-responsive. Tried with all the possible resolutions.
The only thing that helped with the original trilogy was Nvidia Profile Inspector with SuperSampling AA, ah the joy how beautiful that made them look...
I've tried all the possible settings in that too, but nothing works here either.
Reshade I'm not even going to try based on what I've read it's just a poor excuse to try to fool the eyes, but once you've seen what a good quality AA does with the graphics you can never go back to shimmery jaggieland...
I'm glad we're not alone in this, I've been trying to find a solution since release day.
Let's hope for the best my friends.So they basically made the new games look worse that the old ones. I can't help but feeling angry that they lied to us.
I am in ME2, Normandy, by the cook NPC, and when I am looking around slowly, everything jumps, shimmers, flickers. Like a disco. How the hell am I supposed to be immersed with this crap going on.
*sigh*EDIT: And I refuse to buy a 4k+ monitor and a high-end GPU just to make it bearable to look at. From what I can tell, ME2 doesn't even look that improved compared to the original. Anyway, enough complaining from me (it will not speed up the process of anyone fixing it, hopefully). I think I'm going to take a break from the game and hope for the best.

DISCO DISCO!
Sorry I'm just reporting in to say that we're still in the fight, not giving up on this.
Nobody wants to live in shimmery Jaggieland, nobody should be forced to watch the pixely not-so-straight lines and pretend they look fine.
I've had a heavy weekend, so, I probably shouldn't even be posting this, but I'll keep researching and trying to find a way to relive the trilogy the way we deserve it. 🙂
(By the way I'm replaying Andromeda again and the way Frostbite does the built-in AA is just magnificent... Shame about the character animations, but hey it looks like we can't have it all ☹️ ... )Also I'm simply doing my part to keep the discussion alive.
