You could try the nHancer...
It offers a lot more options than the nVidia control panel.

Yeah I've done all that... its just not working in game. For the record vanilla BF2142 is the same... maybe I need to update to control panel? Been looking round the net but can't find any updates for it though.

I set this up last night and it worked fine. Once you've identified the firststrike.exe you need to click on AntiAliasing Setting and a drop down box appears, then select 4x manually.

Check the screen grab for info.

So are you sure you have firststrike.exe added in the program settings tab with override and the amount of AA? The .exe can be found in the Battlefield 2142 folder.

Well I didn't set it in the first place, it was automatically in the list of available programs, but I tried re-setting it. Didn't make a difference thanks anyways.

You may not have identified the correct .exe for BF2142 or FirstStrike... don't tie the settings to the shortcut - but the "target" file for the shortcut (quickest way to find it).

I'm so frustrated, I'm getting this exact problem and I did the disable AA in game/override in control panel thing but the AA isn't showing in game! Still looks as if I have no AA enabled at all. I've checked and the settings are saving, I also restarted but still no joy.

Thank you SamZi - that did the trick... I have both BF2142 & FS AA turned off in-game, but force it with the nVidia control panel to 4X for both games and now everything looks great.

had the same thing with fs, and reinstalling just the mod didnt help but full bf2142 and the mod did (with the deleting of the cache both times)

It's anti-aliasing that's buggered. You have to disable it ingame and force it on via the Nvidia Control Panel. Go to control panel -> Nvidia control panel -> Manage 3D settings and then add firststrike.exe from the Program settings tab. Then set anti-aliasing mode to override and the AA setting you want. I can't go over 4x ingame so that's what I'm using.

Forceware 182.08 - 8800 GTS 640 - XP 32 - fine for vanilla 2142,

but FS build 1008 looks like this again:

I had the same problems on my 9800GTX+. Had to disable AA in the game and set a manual rule for the firststrike.exe program in the control panel. Added benefit is it actually looks better since i can manually force 16xAA/AF
