How to get anti-aliasing in this game?
I tried everything, fusion fix, shader fix, 3d nvidia settings, even downloading nvidia inspector. As you can see here in on the upper door of the fridge on the right side:

Thoes jagged lines at the end of textures are still there. Any help please?

If your system is powerful enough use SSAA.
So you set game run higher resolution than your display.

For example, I can set 2560x1600 / 30fps for my Steam Deck (native display is 1280x800).
No more jagged edges.

I was using DXVK with Sweetfx SMAA or Reshade. But DSR or VSR and 4k resolution set in game will produce much better results.

The newest FusionFix 1.8 has a working FXAA option in the game menu. Seems to function fine. I use that in combination with DSR. It's not perfect but it helps a LOT. Turning on Console Gamma and upping the Contrast & Brightness a notch to balance it also helps with how things look and blend. I recommend setting the Screen Filter option Fusion gives you to Off. Game looks better without the piss filter. Depth of Field is also your enemy in my opinion. :P

There is a DXVK compatible SweetFX option for aliasing however it doesn't work on an up to date copy of Complete Edition. You'd have to downgrade to 1.8 or 1.7. I'll link you the page for the SweetFX instructions if you wanna downgrade and try it out.

P.S. I also recommend the Console Visuals mod. Replacing the trees with console version, among other things, really helps. Less shimmery and whatnot. You will ultimately have to deal with some aliasing. But it can be helped.

If you've got an NVIDIA card, you might want to try DSR.
But well, it's almost a retro game already, so some retro feeling can't hurt.
Consider it as some sort of time travelling ;-)

You need to enable DSR/VSR, then go into your game settings and turn the resolution higher than your actual screen resolution. Your GPU will then downscale this to your display resolution.
