Archicad 26 - 2D Antialiasing - Possible BUG

Hi, 

i usually work on a 27" inch 4k display at 150% windows scaling and with 2D antialiasing turned off. Half the lines are thick and blurry.  

Scaling at 100% is a bit better but you can still see the the problem.

No problem at all with Archicad 25.

What about the Fonts distortion when zoomed?

As Barry suggested, I sent an email to my local Archicad support (italy). No answer from them. This could be not a  critical issue but the antialiasing is so bad i'm still on archicad 25 and i can't use version 26 i paid for. Right now the only solution for me could be to change my monitor to a unnecessary big and expensive 40" 4k or to get back to a old full hd monitor ( in 2023 ! ).

I skipped actually using AC26 due to underwhelming changes to AC25.

 

However, since AC28 is out by now and GS has a policy of supporting the most recent 3 versions, I'm taking the plunge with AC27.

 

I'm noticing all the problems mentioned in this and similar topics.

 

Does anyone know if the registry 'hack / fix' also works with AC27 and if this problem also still exists in AC28?

 

Lines that aren't vertical or horizontal look crisp in AC25 and earlier. They look like I messed up and drafted two slightly different lines on top of eachother in AC27.

 

Like Barry and others on these topics, I've come to rely heavily on the visiual feedback of apparant vertical/horizontal lines breaking up when zooming / panning, but also on 'messy' looking linework suggesting not-quite-overlapping elements.

 

I guess from now on it just confirms that things look bad without antialias?
