How to Inject Anti Aliasing to a Game

SMAA Comparison

Jagged edges sometimes is the thing where most gamer doesn't want to see. Jagged edges can simply be fixed by turning on the Anti Aliasing in the game. But wait, what if there is no anti aliasing option in the game, what will you do. I noticed this when playing Sniper Elite V2, although I already maxed the anti aliasing in the game, I can still see jagged edges everywhere, but with this new software I can remove all of that.
So what this software do is simply added some SMAA into the game, SMAA is Subpixel Morphological Anti Aliasing, I can't find anywhere what this really means, but what I know is the game looks better, the jagged edges where less than before. So it is fine for me and it should have run fine for you, it cost little to none performance hit to the game.

Features of Inject SMAA

  • adds "Subpixel Morphological Antialiasing" to an application
  • is based on "injectFXAA" (written by "some dude")
  • is supposed to work only with directx 9, directx 10, directx 11, x86 applications
  • may be incompatible with any other form of antialiasing
  • may be incompatible with overlays (Steam Overlay, MSI Afterburner, Fraps, ...) 
SMAA is a very efficient GPU-based MLAA implementation, capable of handling subpixel features seamlessly, and featuring an advanced pattern detection & handling mechanism.

Maybe some of you struggle to find the difference, if you look at the roof, the ladder and every distant object you can see that the jagged edges is now removed.

How to Use

In there you will find two folder one is dxd9 and the other one is dxd10, now what you want to do is just to determine if your game runs in Directx9 or Directx10 or newer. If you use Directx9 use dxd9 if the game use Directx10 use dxd10. After you do that, copy all the files in that folder into the directory where the game exe lies
