TAA / Anti-aliasing flicker fix for 7 Days to Die Version 1.0 on Windows
This mod aims to remove flickering on lines and jagged edges while also providing a performance boost and allowing better visual clarity. The difference between this mod and others like it is the fine tuned TAA settings & changes to shadows.
Optional Edition: Contains the TAA Patch, modifications to shadows allowing up to 20% performance increase, and unlocked FOV (High values may cause low performance).
Quality Edition: Contains the TAA Patch, long distance performance modifications to shadows, and more than doubled object & tree view distance that can be configured via the object quality setting in the Graphics quality menu. Includes No Lightning FX & Unlocked FOV.
Features:
- Changes to Anti-Aliasing that aims to remove jagged lines/geometry without introducing blurriness or artifacts.
- Changes to Shadows so they look smoother and appear further away. (Lowered resolution, Higher distance)
- Removed Annoying Blood Moon Lightning Flash FX (Quality version only)
- Increased LODBIAS / Object View Distance (Quality Version only)
- Extended Viewmodel FOV (45->60)
- Unlocked FOV slider (Fisheye effect occurs on values past 105-110. Values above 90 may have a significant performance hit.)
- Multiple versions supporting Windows 10-11 & Linux.
Installation:
1. Navigate to your 7 Days to Die installation. eg. (E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die).
2. Open the "7DaysToDie_Data" folder, then open the "Managed" folder and find the file named "Assembly-CSharp.dll" then rename this file to "Assembly-CSharp.dll.bak". Copy the newly downloaded "Assembly-CSharp.dll" to the managed folder.
3. Launch the game without EAC and enjoy :)
Usage:
Use the Temporal AA setting with sharpening at 10-30%. Client-side only. EAC must be disabled. Reshade is recommended.
Compatibility:
Compatible with IDC mods, Torch, OCB Mods.
Incompatible with other patched assembly mods. Incompatible with some UI mods.
