Maybe it is a driver issue since i have Arium installed on an mac with bootcamp

And the game seems to run because I hear the comments and see an thin line of 1pixel moving in the top of the screen (But can't Score goals in the dark :D )

Does AA really change things ? because without it it runs with no problems even at very high res

I will add support for the fighting patch on the next version. I may just add the fight patch to this launcher so it's handled in memory instead. I will also look into the AA compatibility issue. It already tests the AA mode before using it and lowers it until it passes the test, but I will see if there are any issues I missed there. It sounds like it could be a driver issue though. Does forcing AA via the drivers also cause a black screen?

It smooths edges. Honestly, it doesn't make too much of a difference in a game like this due to the way the camera is. The angle and distance rarely makes rough edges show like it does in a first person shooter for instance. I personally only set this to 4x.

Yeah anything above 4x is generally unnecessary and just taxes your card to the max. Smooth edges are great, but not if you lose too much overall performance.

Yep I didn't see a huge difference between 4x and 16x. Anyway this game looks so crisp, it's unbelievable. I ever said, if we once had widescreen support I will play more - seems like it happened, going to install the vintage mod this weekend.

I tried those settings but Black screen

It is perfect without AA

Do you play with windowed mode ?

Are you using the HDR Mod? If yes, try AA without HDR Mod installed...

How do you add AA and all that to NHL04 or HDR/Bloom and all that stuff? I know there is FXAATOOL witch ill link below has anyone tried this?

Yeah, there's a good chance that external D3D hooks (enb etc) will conflict with this tool, especially future versions. Effects like bloom and HDR are intended for outdoor environments anyhow. With that said, I've already added support for dumping and injecting shaders in the more advanced closed alpha version.

PS : Just an noob idea : Could it be possible to have a clickeable option for the unlimited fight in the launcher in order to choose if we want unlimited fight or not ?

I'm working on that for the next version:

Would you guys prefer being able to set the maximum amount of fights instead of making it unlimited?

You should ask Trent as he is the heavyweight fighter champ around here :D :D
I'll go for a choice of fight max

PS : Your update is absolutely GR8t I tried field of view 30 (like being on the roof... cool ) and 45 wich is great for fights. could the field of view vary from ingame situations. playin, cutscene, fighting, replays ?

It's possible, but not easy. It would require more research. I can make it controllable with a hotkey though.
