    Hello all,

    So I recently discovered the other day that the Nvidea "Ansel" feature now works with Star Trek Online. Anyone who has a Nvidea graphics card has access to the nvidea experience application can press alt+z when STO loads up and there is now a new game filters option.

    After having a play around with it, I can confirm that you have the option for contrast, colours and HDR filtering, along with some other options (Some good, some absolutely horrible looking). I've managed to amp up the fidelity a little and the colors really pop now, and especially with a little bit of bloom added.

    I'm pretty impressed so far and makes a nice change to have some graphical options to play with, and definitely worth having a play around with if you have the option too.

    Oh yeah, that feature. I remember using it in WoW but in an earlier stage so sometimes it just reset all of my filters so one day I didn't care about it anymore xD

    I'm playing with it right now. So far I'm just using it for color correction purposes and nothing too fancy.

    Depth of Field improvement is really superficial - not much can be noticed.

    Same here. I've mainly played around with the HDR option under the details preset, slightly increased the color vibrancy and added a little bloom. Everything just looks more alive now. It's rather nice.

    Just did that now. Added the 'Details' filter and played for awhile with Sharpening, HDR, Clarity filters. This is where I see a more drastic change.

    I see details on ESD floor now, like the 'peckles'. On uniforms I see the minor details of the design and on the security holders.

    This screenshot doesn't do justice to what I actually see, it's much more detailed

    Awesome stuff. I might have a play around a little more tonight. it's all about fine tuning, but so far it's been really nice to improve the visual quality of STO. I think I've got the colors just right at the moment so I'll add a little sharpness to them this evening and post the results.

    I've tried getting into this and have no luck. My Geforce Experience doesn't even show it as a option.

    Same here, every time I go to enable Ansel (either through ALT+Z or ALT+F2), I get a message that STO isn't a supported game.

    Make sure you have the GeForce Experience installed with your (most recent - last few weeks) drivers. The Nvidia drivers's or PhysX System alone won't work, yet it's possible you have already tried that.

    I've tried getting into this and have no luck. My Geforce Experience doesn't even show it as a option.
    Your GeForce Experience client should also be updated to the latest version, certain older versions do not support it.

    You may also want to check-out this list to ensure your GPU can support Ansel.

    The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps GeForce Exp hasn’t been able to find your STO game file location. In which case put the folder containing the STO game in search directory in your settings.

    Other than this, I’m out of reasons personally.
