Patch 4 ruined my graphics

[brolakb]

Hi, new to Baldurs Gate and PC gaming. After the new update, game loaded and seems to be working fine for me, however the graphics are so ♥♥♥♥. Everything is blurry and it's not as crisp as it was before the update. Can anyone help? Unsure how to fix this.

Check you video settings, after a major patch they sometimes get rest to standard. Also, the game can scan your setup and give a recommendations at what settings you should be at.

I'm having the same problem. The game is lagging a lot, and the Patch made it UNPLAYABLE. Tried to check the video settings and theres no way to fix it. It was working ok on the Patch 3

hi! having the same lag problem. I thought it was because of mods at first but I deleted EVERY SINGLE ONE and reinstalled the game TWICE. my computer runs 100% of my games silky smooth. I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pissed

No mods here, the game suddenly looks zoomed in and blurry. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do about this.

I also tried to have the game detect my settings and it still looks like trash, the minimap, hotbar, menus, and avatars look zoomed in and the actual gameplay looks pixelated and blurry.

I was looking forward to playing tonight after a busy week and after loading it up I just can't deal with that, it looks so terrible.

I can't change the game resolution without it crashing. It defaulted to 2160P, but I want to set it to 1440P.

While game is running fine when playing the game and graphics are same as before patch I noticed my GPU (4070) usage had dropped around 60-70% despite same fps of around 50s in intense areas (cpu bound - i7-9700k) so I tried turning off DLSS to make use more of gpu and ease strain on cpu (as I am 4k dlss quality 60fps VSync).

The game crashes to desktop every time I try to change settings (assume this is patch 4 issue as I could change the settings with no issues a couple of months ago)

Not tested this on DX11 only Vulkan as that was always performing better for me

I also just jumped back in, and my graphics now looks horrible

same happend to me , seems of broken texture LOD's, bitmaps and AF not working as they should so looks much worse than before, same thing for both DX11 and vulkan with reset and re applied settings

[Barser]

Oh yeah I fixed it easy by just reset graphics in menu, so np. But it sure did look horrible lol

Thanks but made no differance for me, I will try and force some stuff in NvControl pannel

Mine was the same, and found that FSR was turned on when it was not before.

After a complete reinstall, the game would crash when trying to choose nvidia specific graphic options ingame. But I realized I were using Vulkan. After switching to dx11, no more crashes when choosing nvidia graphic options.

forcing AF and allowing negative LOD bais in the nvidia CP after creating a profile for the .exe file fixed some of the issues for me, but only in DX11
