AntiAliasing and Android...

We want some AA for our games.

However, some device are too slow to handle it.

So we want to be able to turn it off or on depending on the device power.

However, when we do it - QualitySettings.antiAliasing or QualitySettings.SetQuality - the screen turns black. The game is still responsive, simply no more rendering is done. Reading a bit, we found out it's because shaders are recompiled. Alright! So what is the solution? No AA for everybody? AA x 2 for everybody and assume lower device won't like it? AA x 4 and lower device will be unplayable?

What is the solution other games use?

 

I'm having exactly the same issue. Screen turns black when changing AA settings at runtime in both 4.5.5f1 and 4.5.5p2. However, it was working fine in Unity 4.2.2

 

Are you using 32-bit display buffer? Wondering if this needs to change depending on quality setting.

 

Yup, we are.

 

I have also had this problem, was a bit surprised when it happened considering it worked just fine in older versions of Unity.

 

We have the same problem here, we had to disable AA

 

Bug have been reported to Unity; bug #643345.

 

They also have problem with AA and RenderTexture

 

Yeah, we have people here who fail to take a screenshot when AA is on using ReadPixels, even on PC! It sucks.

 

I reported it months ago (#584638) but it seems they didn't find a solution at the moment.
