Long story short: I noticed SSAO doesn’t work for me (with nVidia 8800 GTS and Vista 64). With rdb’s help I tried several options in order to see if it was some config problem, but it simply doesn’t work for me.
So here’s what I’d like you to do. If you haven’t tested SSAO already, try testing it with whatever you have at hand or by using this slightly modified FPS sample from treeform available here. If SSAO works then you should see a very dark area with white windowish blotches in the sample. The effect is completely overblown for testing purposes. If SSAO fails then you should just see the regular FPS sample.
Oh and when replying, please mention your GPU and OS.
