Can't see lightsaber beam or blaster bolts at higher AA

Question

As the title states, any attempt to render AA higher than medium results in my lightsaber beams, blaster bolts, mailbox icons, etc. being totally invisible. My computer had the Raptr Gaming Evolved App (which I loathe) from the new Crimson download, and it did appear to force some changes to the .ini to "optimize" the game.

I erased the Evolved App before I fully knew what the changes to the.ini were, and I thought I had scrubbed the .ini back to normal. But still, have the problem. My computer is certainly capable of running in higher AA, so I was wondering if there was a way around this? Or if it was not any kind of .ini tweak, then where this may have come from.

Thanks.

If your using the new crimson driver however still that is what is causing the problem. If you lower your AA settings to medium or lower it will work around the issue.

This is an issue specifically with the Crimson driver version 15.11. These are the only options.

1. Lower AA settings to medium or lower

2. Uninstall the Crimson driver and go back to the previous driver which you can get from the AMD website.

3. Install the Crimson driver beta 15.11.1 which resolves the issue altogether, however since the driver is beta install at your own risk and may have to uninstall the other drivers first.

4. Wait till 15.11.1 officially released and upgrade.

This is a specific issue with the driver which AMD probably figured out and resolve in the next version.

Here is the thread that talks about using the beta version that fixes it:
