    I don't know what the purpose of it is. Is it specifically there to make everything blurry? I haven't noticed it to be honest, but I play on higher settings so maybe that's why.

    According to dictionary . com:

    (in computer graphics) a technique used to add greater realism to a digital image by smoothing jagged edges on curved lines and diagonals.

    Basically the image posted by somebody else above me. Antialiasing would make a grainy or pixelated image look much more fine and crisp I suppose, though I will admit this is my first time hearing about it...

    Regardless according to some developers who responded to a thread about it, it's been disabled because they don't like it when you mess with the in-game files. Even if it's for harmless graphical or UI changes like the different perk icons people like to tote around. So it hardly matters anymore

    Really which someone would post a picture on ULTRA there seems to be no issues with the AA.

    It sounds like BHVR went with heavy FXAA. Cheap on performance but blurs the image. I’ve heard complaints before but not like as many as I have seen today. I havent played the update myself but either the devs implemented it poorly or people are just caught by surprise at how different it looks.
