Anti Aliasing

(Or anti-aliasing for future search result reasons...)

I was curious why anti-aliasing seems so messed up on Windows, or is it something im doing wrong. When I take a fullscreen snapshot of my game running, it looks soo much better on a mac. This is zoomed in so you can see the difference, but zoomed out at normal size it's still quite harsh & feels so much less 'smooth' than it's meant to be.

I thought maybe it was just Windows rendering shittily in general so I took a screenshot i made on a mac at the same resolution and made that fullscreen in windows then screenshotted that fullscreen image and it still looks just as good as the mac, (obvious i know but it made me feel like i wasnt crazy).

Whats up with this? Is this a known thing? can it be tweaked?

Thanks!

What browser? Is there a zoom level set in the browser?

Sorry, my bad for not posting more details. This is Node-Webkit v.0.10.5 export running straight from Steam on mac & windows. So Chromium/Chrome i guess.

Is it "windowed" in anyway i.e. title bar or scrollbars where it would be different per OS? Or is the game taking up all of the full screen?

— Nope, 100% Full screen, though the anti-aliasing is unrelated to being fullscreen, if its in windowed mode, it looks just as bad/different -- arguably more-so because the sprites are smaller/harder to see finer details.

Have you tried running it on a different windows pc, just in case it's a graphics driver issue?

Not me personally, but every one of the screenshots a colleague has sent me (she's on a windows machine) have the same issue as above - blockier / weirdly anti-aliased graphics and sprite fonts.

I don't notice that issue, I test on Mac Air with Intel HD4000 and on a Samsung Notebook with Intel HD4000. Both are sharp.

This is definitely a case of funky GPU drivers on that particular setup from your colleague.

bummer.. thanks!

Hey —, would you be able to take a *fullscreen* screenshot of cosmochoria from steam and post it here? id love to see what you're seeing...

Looks fine to me.

On both PC (Radeon R290) and Notebook (Intel HD4000).

crazy, thanks - definitely a driver issue then. appreciated!
