Hi everyone,
this minor patch adds a hidden compatibility setting called "forceDisplayLists" which will restore the OpenGL behaviour of version 1.21 and earlier.
In version 1.22, we eliminated the use of OpenGL display lists to improve compatibility with a broader range of GPUs and drivers which might not implement this feature in a conformant way. While this works in most cases, it has been reported that on some older AMD setups, version 1.22 does not render correctly, and affected users had to roll back to 1.21. With this version (1.23), they can instead enable the 'forceDisplayLists' setting and still benefit from the other improvements in 1.22. To do so, edit "%LocalAppData%\Phantom Brave\ph3settings.json" with a text editor to change the setting.
As always, if you want to revert to the previous version for any reason, you can do so using the Steam "Beta" feature.
Cheers,
Peter "Durante" Thoman

This patch introduces various anti-aliasing options into the game, namely FXAA, partial/full 2x/4x MSAA, and partial/full 2x/4x SGSSAA. The image above shows a comparison with no AA on the left and SGSSAA on the right.
In the original PS2 version of the game, some surfaces such as lava used UV texture animation to visualize their flow. Sadly, this effect was lost in the transition to later ports of the game, including the PC version. We have managed to restore this effect and it is now re-enabled, as you can see above.
Back when Phantom Brave was originally released, a lot of us were still playing on CRT TVs, and LCD technology was just becoming more mainstream. Some people prefer the look of graphics of that era in a CRT style, so the game now includes an optional filter which simulates a CRT image. (Due to the nature of this kind of effect, you probably have to look at the screenshot above in fullscreen to appreciate it)
As a quality of life improvement, skills with an elemental damage effect are now color-coded to indicate their element, as shown above. While this is not particularly useful for skills like "Fire", others are often less immediately obvious, and this change makes it easier to identify their elemental effects at a glance.
