does it work? If yes, how? For the record: playing linux UT 4.36, and set "UseTrilinear=True" in UnrealTournament.ini, which I always thought would do that.... so, anyone here able to clear things up?

mipmap dithering?

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Just curious: whats mipmap dithering? Mipmapping smooths textures at distances and sharp angles to prevent the "pixelated" look. How does dithering enter into it?
not quite. Mipmapping itself is the process of creating various versions of a texture with different resolutions for different distances, so you don't use a, say, 2048x2048 texture in a mile distance where nobody would see the detail.
Now without mipmap dithering you can see "jumps" in texture detail (good to see on DMAriza's floor textures). it's like you see a horizontal line where the higher res texture ends and the next lower texture begins.
I dunno how mipmap dithering in detail works, but it supresses this effect and smoothens out the transition between different mipmap levels.
