New Nvidia drivers weird texture filteri Created 8 years ago2016-09-05 08:38:18 UTC by Alberto309

Hey guys.

Anyone that installed the new Nvidia Game Ready drivers (372.70) experienced some weird filtering on brush's textures on Goldsource games?
It's really weird. Take a look:It acts like anisotropic filtering, but in the wrong way.
I've tried Cry of Fear and this happens too, but it doesn't happen on other similar/engine derivates OpenGL titles like Quake 1 and Quake 3 Arena.

Now, I have forced anisotropic filtering 16x and 8x Transparency SSAA from the Nvidia Control Panel and SSAA 4x from Nvidia Inspector. But that worked flawlessly before updating my drivers. I've used that configuration for more than a year and nothing strange happened (even after many driver updates).

For those who's wondering, I had to update them otherwise I couldn't play the Battlefield 1 open beta (it's a requirement).

I'll try to turn off my custom AA and AF settings to see if it works, even though it would piss me off a bit because I hate jagged egdes.
But I'm posting this firstly because I wanted to know if it's a driver problem and happened to somebody or if it's just me.
Anyone got this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: It also happens in the 3D viewport of Hammer.

EDIT 2: Found the problem. It's the Transparency Antialiasing. I've turned it off and everything went ok. If you have the new Game Ready drivers, could you please try to force Transparency Antialiasing to 8x and see if this happens to you too?

Transparency Antialiasing is disabled by default. Tried to set it to 8x with 368.81 driver and had no issues.

The world looks like that when I take off my glasses.

Haha!!, I'm with you DiscoStu!!, it is like if I blink my right eye, the left one was smashed years ago and I can barely see a s**t!! XD

Thanks for testing Qwertyus.
Apparently the problem is on newer drivers, I suppose.

I've also found out that the game resolution changes things; if I play at 2K resolution with Nvidia DSR I have like half of the effect.

I'll try to report this to Nvidia when I have some more info.
