Two in-game optimization questions (icons and graphics)

[Human Required]

Two questions:

1) Does anyone know how to get rid of that annoying little "no recording!" icon that seems to randomly appear in the upper righthand corner? Like, I'm not at PAX trying to sneak footage out of a demo. I just want to play the game without that annoying popup.

2) Do the textures look SUPER low-res to anyone else? I'm playing in 2K res on an RTX 3070 with all the graphics settings set to "high," and for whatever reason, the textures look like the Switch version. Flat, blurry/pixelated, and the foliage is nowhere near as dense as it was in the previews. The lighting doesn't look as rich either.

1) It means you can't move your camera and it appears when you try to

2) Turn change TAA to FXAA for a sharper image. The lighting is dynamic watch the day turn to night and night to day. Game looks great on my end.

1) Oh. Any idea why it does that even if I'm not touching the right thumbstick?

2) Okay! I'll give FXAA a try. I was just rolling with the default settings. Thanks for the tip.

FXAA is better than TAA in this game? I've never even heard of this before.

I got the impression it happens when I make any movement that would potentially move the gamera (like moving to a place I shouldn't be able to with the left thumbstick)

Download HedgeModManager (modding software for Sonic games on PC that use the Hedgehog Engine). It has a community code that makes it so that camera icon doesn't pop up.

For the first part of this, the "No Camera" icon is to remind you that you can't change the camera angle. It's more to let you know that this segment is meant to be looked at this angle, such as the "2D" style segments, or only up to a certain angle.
