1: How do you see that Vulkan is used?

2: I can not activate any of the Anti-Aliasing options.

Using AMD Ryzen 3900X, 32GB Ram, Nvidia RTX 2070 S. Windows 10 Pro.

1 - Your system is likely running in Vulkan mode. The only time OpenGL will be used is if the display device/driver can't support Vulkan (GeForce 500 series or older or older AMD GPU).

2 - Are you selecting AA settings through one of the in-game options (since external control panel options may still not yet work with Vulkan for such settings)? What display resolution are you running in and what happens when you try to enable one of the AA modes in the game? All in-game AA settings should work across the board in both OpenGL and Vulkan, as long as the video card had sufficient available video memory.

Trying the ingame AA options. Using 1440p. When changing to any of the AA options it will not change to what i select and stay disabled.

Using latest Nvidia drivers 451.67.

Generally, the only time AA won't enable is if you select a fixed/preset display resolution, rather than 'Optimized'. Applying a fixed display forces the render target to a potential non-1:1 size (relative to the monitor's pixel output), which can impact AA. Non-optimized resolutions can be useful for setting up a particular window size, but 'Optimized' is generally best and will use the Windows/driver reported optimal resolution (which may be 1440 on your display anyway). So if the resolution setting is using a preset value, try switching it to 'Optimized' and see if AA then works.

If that isn't it and the problem persists, please follow up with me via e-mail for support by following the steps outlined here: https://www.starwraith.com/arvochalliance/faq.htm#8
