"Would you like your characters to have smoother textures? (Will write the guide in the comment as the caption limits my message.)"

I know GEEU has smoother textures via an in-game option. I'm surprised T3Fun never implemented it.

(Report as of Dec. 21, 2017) I've received a concern about the anti-alias not working on windows mode, particularly on NVIDIA users. I've tried mine since I'm using AMD, and it's working.

When I was writing this guide, my sister was here, and I borrowed her laptop since it's using NVIDIA. But now she's at abroad, I can't help much about the concern anymore since I have nothing to experiment on. I'm really sorry.

But, if there are other techy peeps here, I'd be glad if share some ideas and help the NVIDIA users about the said concern. Have a happy christmas !!

(Update as of December 13, 2017) The anti-alias seems to be not working to me ever since the huge Windows update. I don't know when the update started. BUT, I managed to found a solution on how to keep the override working.

Simply go to the file directory of G.E.'s [release] folder. Inside of it, there's an application file named "ge.exe". Right click it, then Properties. Under the [Compatibility] tab, un-check everything except the "Disable fullscreen optimizations". Then, hit [OK].

The anti-alias should work after. Leave a comment and let me know if it didn't fix the issue.

lovely guide. although there's a reduced performance on the frame rate when applying this setting. but still, i don't mind as long as i see them skinship as "smooth" as possible. #ykwim ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This guide is done from Windows 10 perspective. As for older versions of Windows, I can't provide you the exact step-by-step on how to change GE's override graphic settings.

>>>For AMD videocard users<<<
1 ) Open "AMD Radeon Settings".

2 ) Click "Gaming".

3 ) On the upper-right of the Radeon Settings menu, click the "+ Add".

4 ) Select "Browse".

5 ) Look for "ge.exe" in your GE release folder, then select "Open".
(The directory depends on the user's installation preference. Mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Granado Espada For SEA\release)

6 ) Click "ge" on the list of Gaming profiles.

7 ) Now, set the following under the "ge" profile:
Anti-alias: Override application settings
Anti-alias level: 8x
Anti-aliasing Method: Supersampling
Anisotopic Filtering: Use application settings
Texture Filtering Quality: High
Wait for Vertical Refresh: Always on (If you're not using a FreeSync / G-Sync monitor)
Shader Cache: On
Tessellation Mode: Use application settings
-The rest of the settings are "Off" or "Disabled"


(Everything you tweak here is applied immediately regardless if the game is running or closed.)

>>>For NVIDIA videocard users<<<

1 ) Open "NVIDIA Control Panel".

2 ) Click "Manage 3D Settings".

3 ) Click the "Program Settings" tab.

4 ) Click "Add".

5 ) Click "Browse".

6 ) Look for "ge.exe" in your GE release folder, then click "Add Selected Program".
(The directory depends on the user's installation preference. Mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Granado Espada For SEA\release)

7 ) If you're using a laptop, you would want to select the "High-performance NVIDIA processor" for this game/application.

8 ) Now, set the following under the "Granado Espada(ge.exe)" profile:
Anisotropic filtering: Application-controlled
Antialiasing - Mode: Override any application settings
Antialiasing - Setting: 8x
Antialiasing - Transparency: 8x (supersample)
CUDA - GPUs: Use global setting (All)
Maximum pre-rendered frames: Use the 3D application setting
Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Single display performance mode
Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
Shader Cache: On
Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Allow
Texture filtering - Quality: High Quality
Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: On
Threaded optimization: On
Triple buffering: On
Vertical sync: On (If you're not using a FreeSync / G-Sync monitor)
Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames: Use the 3D application setting

(As for NVIDIA, I don't think the graphic changes will be applied on-the-fly. The game/application needs to be restarted before the changes take effect.)

If you're still not convinced with these tweakings, check out these 2 images I have back in sGE. Compare their hair, skin, wings, and clothes:
