FSAA in Lego Star Wars

I just purchased Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga and I must admit, it's a hell of a fun game. I did encounter one graphical frustration that I can't seem to fix. In the effects options, there is FSAA (Anti-Aliasing) that is set to "off". Unfortunately the selection is grayed out, and I'm unable to turn it on. This causes lots of jaggedy lines during gameplay. I've tried using nHancer to force the AA and I've also just tried my Nvidia control panel method to force it. None of those worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Also, my specs. (It's a laptop)

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53 Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M
4 GB RAM
320 GB HDD

Your gpu may not be able to apply the AA on the game, so there for its greyed out. Any gtx (m or not) should be able to honestly.

Though some game engines have a hard time running AA as well as HDR, so if HDR is enabled, the AA will be disabled by default. But I'm not sure if this game is one that suffers from this flaw or not.

Soo would you have any recommendations on how to fix the AA?

Well, you could try turning off any HDR/Bloom Effects, restart the game, and see if the AA options are still greyed out. Thats about all I can readily help with right now.

Heyyyy, thanks a bunch. Believe it or not, disabling bloom fixed it. I find that rather odd, but whatever, let it be.

Well alot of console games actually don't use AA at all.

But I do wish that the developers spent as much time/effort into optimizing the pc games/versions, as they do the console versions. For the most part optimization is focused more-so on the console side of gaming, though the next generation will really start to blur the line between console and pc. It has already started blurring it in many ways these past few years, and even some before that.

Wait... Console games don't usually use AA? How do some of the games look sooo smooth on HD tv's though? It looks a lot like AA to me.

Neither the 360 or ps3 cannot utilize any AA whatsoever. At least ,that is what is what I was led to believe. It is really one of the staples of PC gaming atm + ambient occlusion.

You may be playing it on a higher resolution, secondly the consoles use more motion blur which they use instead of AA. take a real good close look at Edges. (not to mention pc gaming is usually higher detailed, in which you will notice said jaggys more regardless of AA.

The 360 and ps3 do use AA, but not all that often and when they use it, it is hardly ever over 2x. (usually in smaller increments like 1.5x or so)

Your eyes are bad so you don't notice fine detail including things like jaggies unless your up close or your playing from very far away reletive to your tv size its possibly one of those reasons or your not playing at your monitors native resolution.

pc gaming = true 1080p with AA and awesome visual quality and detial in games. consoles are "low rez" gaming with 720p being the highest the large majority of games will use with infact alot of games being sub-hd like mw2 and have little if any AA so they look blurry and have terrible visual quality compared to the pc version.
