HiTrying 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 and 1440p monitor. I have Nvidia GTX 1070 and I have maxed out all of my settings. I even tried forcing AA in Nvidia control panel. Is this a normal issue or is it just me?I can provide some screenshots or a video clip if it helps pinpointing the problem.Thanks for your time.P.S. An example of the problem; When you are on the ship on the lowest deck, the part that is marked with red on the picture is the part that has this problem. As if this edge is too low resolution compared with the rest of the graphics.

@holger1405Yes, 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?

Now playing ME3.The same issue - anti-aliasing working poor.Just a sample screenshot from a mission with Samara. My eyes...

Hi,Unfortunately I don't have a solution for this, been trying to resolve it since the game got released, but no joy so far.I'd like to paste my cry for help from about a week ago on Steam discussions with 0 answers, just because it is the same issue OP is facing here. -"I have tried everything I know, but I am unable to force SSAA on the game (ME1 LE in this case, but tried ME3 LE as well with the same results).I tried the Nvidia Control Panel override with global settings and also program specific ones to no avail.With the original trilogy Nvidia Profile Inspector with the right AA compatibility bits worked wonders, managed to set the desired SSAA on all 3 games (4x-8x and also the transparency supersampling SGSSAA 4x-8x) and it looked great, no shimmering edges, nice smooth lines, no jaggies.With this game nothing seems to work, the graphics looks exactly the same, no matter what I try to set outside the game.It seems like it's all been blocked, as if the game doesn't allow any external override.This is very disappointing as this was the main reason I've been looking forward to the Legendary Edition... to max out the graphics and relive the trilogy.By far my favourite games ever, but it's just simply not enjoyable this way.Has anyone managed to resolve this and if yes how and with what type of hardware?I've got a 1080ti by the way with the latest driver.I still have the original ME3 installed and Nvidia Profile Inspector still works great on that game, so I am completely out of ideas.Any suggestion is much appreciated."From what I've read so far the engine being switched to DX11 could be the reason as Nvidia might not support external AA override anymore on DX11 (no idea if it's true or not).Does anybody have any info about this?Thank you."Any suggestion is much appreciated..."

@nyubiSo 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.

I haven't, but I see that Nvidia Inspector has finally detected LE edition, so I could experiment with settings.

I keep hoping for an update to the game that would help resolve this but nothing so far. I have an RTX 3080 and a 36" ultrawide monitor so I was hoping for a great experience with this edition but the aliasing issues are very noticeable, and the flickering lights in some of the cutscenes. I had planned to play through using the old trilogy but was having some issues with the way the UI looked on 21:9 resolution. For a rerelease which was marketed as primarily a visual overhaul, I was expecting a quick fix for this.

Another one. Literally every edge is shimmering.

How incredibly dissapointing to read this about ME LE's poor AA support... I am gutted. I detest AA, they completely ruin the experience for me. Not about to blur the game either with crap like FXAA. Does DSR give good results? For shimmering textures too? I seem to recall ME had a lot of problems with shimmering textures. I don't really remember though, since I have almost from the beginning played with SGSSA 8x.
Guess I am glad (and sad) I didn't buy it yet, and now I won't bother either. I will just stick with the old versions of the game with ALOT and Flawless Widescreen. At least the ALOT for the original games will get some new textures added too. I would not hold my breath for EA/Bioware to fix this, if it is indeed fixable.
These are the settings I have been using of old that always got me best visual results, maybe somebody wants to try them if the flags differ from the ones they use (C5 vs C1 IIRC).
