Hopefully they've fixed the 2142 AA issue but I'm not holding my breath.

I know the last set of drivers fixed my black outs from explosions and the cloak was able to work with recon. I just tried this new set and seems to work good too. 4x in 2142 not nvidia control panel.

For me (Single GTX 260) the AA issues were fixed in 181.20 I think... they've been fine with 181.22 and 182.05 and now 182.06... Did those drivers not work for you killa?! This is weird because they work for me.

Also, the US forums are another of EA's miserable failures... bigbacon posted that thread as a courtesy follow-up to this:

Anyway, if you scroll down you'll see that I reported the AA fixed with 181.20, for me at least.

Audiosurf (if anyone has it) had EXACTLY the same problem actually... it did not go away with 181.20 so they removed the option to turn on AA in the game with an update recently!!
