You have yet to define "New Hardware" , In all of your posts, I have yet to find your definition.
Links won't launch on new device
Re: Links won't launch on new device
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: Links won't launch on new device
I struggle to understand why defining new is so difficult here. A PC using components like CPU, motherboard and GPU released in the last 1-2 years or using the current versions of these components should cover it. It's the Twilight Zone. Don't worry, you will have another come along soon.

First, you have an 11th gen CPU. It's not current. Second, you are not running AA.
Re: Links won't launch on new device
11TH Generation is new enough for what you are going on about, and I am running AA you need some glasses Boot. To put it bluntly you are a prick and you are right you know f-ck all about computers.
Re: Links won't launch on new device
New enough so you can call me a prick? Nice.
No, it's far from new as would be the rest of your system and no, you are not running AA. You're a dickhead.
Can see why the author doesn't want the patch released to people here. I feel sorry for the good people who can't run the game but if it was my patch, I wouldn't release it either because I would hate to see some of you get your hands on it and be able to run the game in the future. You're all best off away from this game.
Re: Links won't launch on new device
Everyone watch what happens with Danny D. I think his PC met the new criteria. Idiots.
Re: Links won't launch on new device
Ok Boot lets dispense with the name calling my bad.If I am not using AA as you say, please explain why the Hillside and the Poll have no jagged edges in the picture.

FXAA isn't "true AA", but it works great for a game that was never developed with AA in mind.

Re: Links won't launch on new device
Yes, exactly. It's not as good as AA as it just applies an overall AA affect to everything but messes up, leaves artifacts or smudges text and everything else to some degree. It can't be tailored ideally to the specific game content. The FXAA button is one on button for all games and graphics types, no customization. It's also very dependent on the users GPU as to how well it will work or not work. If you buy another computer or change GPU's, you may lose good working FXAA and find you now have a card that forces you back to no FXAA at all and you again have to put up with default Links jaggies.
This won't happen with proper AA.
Apparently they are very close to getting proper working AA in Links. After 20 years of it not being achieved, it would be a big plus if it happens.
Re: Links won't launch on new device
Truce Daniel. I have nothing against you and in the heat of the moment, we both could've responded in a better fashion.
I'm really not here trolling as some suspect. I'm questioning now if maybe I need to avoid one or two members as I'm questioning things about them and maybe they are best completely ignored.
Please see my post above, you have FXAA and it does get rid of jaggies. I'm using it myself but proper AA is a much better option and unavailable to at least Nvidia users but FXAA is better than nothing.
