if enable (AntiAliasing > 0) in this game in first mission you can get a bug with a black screen when fighting a Barlog.

AA in d3d9 has limitations and may not work with all games. I suspect the issue is because when using AA with d3d9 you have to use discard for the depth stencil. This can cause the depth stencil to get lost and so the z-order get messed up. I've seen that issue with a couple of other games. In these cases using something like ReShade may be better.

I forgot to add that this is not a constant phenomenon and passes and appears periodically. I checked, it does not depend on the game mission or scenario.
