I found a game where d3d9.forceSwapchainMSAA is useful: FEAR2!

Well technically, that's 2 games with Black Mesa. For the longest time, at least on Nvidia, can't speak for AMD, the in game FSAA option was broken and did nothing, but with DXVK 2.6.2 and d3d9.forceSwapchainMSAA it can be re-enabled properly, even up to x8 which is more than the x4 max than the game did allow at some point.

Apologies but there are currently no plans to bring the config back.

Oh for sure I just found it funny to have stumbled upon one of the super rare use cases of this ^^
Anyway one can always replace the DXVK files inside a proton build and use that Proton for this particular use case, that trick works great for customising Proton and even get the precious HDR mod to work on official Proton builds hehe.

NFS HP2 it is absolutely game changer too. And lots of other games probably too.
Thats why I stay at 2.6.2

Nothing extracted yet.
