Anti-aliasing options are not working correctly

Support Bug Report
1

MSAA isn’t remembering it’s settings between launches and you have to set it to none, then back to what you want, before it will stick. Not sure if it survives a /console gxrestart (didn’t check, but I just thought about it)

CMAA2(not CMAA) is broken and creates a terrible dithered checker pattern on alpha masked things like grass:

Some notes and things I’ve tested:

  • Checked to make sure that config.wtf isn’t read-only
  • Tested on slider 1 through 10
  • VRS off for all testing
  • /console gxrestart here and there to see if maybe it would fix things
  • Cleared the %localappdata%\D3DSCache and %localappdata%\AMD caches
  • No other apps using hardware acceleration
  • No overlays
  • No background apps
  • I tried unchecking Optional Features, but it removes CMAA2 from the pool of options
  • Happens on both DX11 and DX12
  • Made sure I’m at 100% resolution
  • Not using any reflex-like options
  • Tried seeing if RT shadows were causing a problem, no changes between off vs high
  • Nothing wrong with temperatures or anything like that

Specs:

  • Windows 11 25H2 up to date
  • AMD 7900xt with 25.11.1 drivers
  • Intel 13600KF

click none first, then hit apply. Then hit the settings you want again. This is an old fix I found on reddit

Oh my goodness, thanks for this post! For the past 2 days I thought I was going crazy. Everything looked so choppy and ugly, I thought it was an issue with my GPU. Setting everything to none and apply fixes until you relog. Hopefully Blizz fixes this soon.

I’m having the same problem with anti-aliasing not activating. I have to mess around with the settings and reset them in order for it to turn on. However when you relog the anti-aliasing does not work again. Rinse and repeat. Pretty annoying.

I am having the exact same issues. I figured out the temp fix that was posted all on my own. I hope they address this soon.
