I am currently learning how to use DirectX11 but I am unable to use 4X MSAA. Here is my code (Since I'm just learning I haven't used any headers or classes, sorry for the messy code)


#define SCREEN_WIDTH 800

I've attached a photo of what I get when I compile the above code. Notice the jagged edges

I can't remember exactly, but try changing:

descDSV.ViewDimension = D3D11_DSV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;

to

descDSV.ViewDimension = D3D11_DSV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2DMS;

Note the 'MS' suffix

Pass the D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG flag when creating your D3D11 device: it will cause the runtime to output warning and error messages when you do something wrong with the API. It's a good idea to always use that for your debugging builds, and fix any issues that it brings up.

If you'd like, you can also tell the runtime to break into the debugger right when an error occurs so that you know exactly which line of code is causing the problem:

ID3D11InfoQueue* infoQueue = nullptr;
device->QueryInterface(__uuidof(ID3D11InfoQueue), reinterpret_cast<void**>(&infoQueue));
if(infoQueue)
{
    infoQueue->SetBreakOnSeverity(D3D11_MESSAGE_SEVERITY_WARNING, TRUE);
    infoQueue->SetBreakOnSeverity(D3D11_MESSAGE_SEVERITY_ERROR, TRUE);
    infoQueue->Release();
    infoQueue = nullptr;
}
