HORRIBLE Graphics but I have a great computer?
I just got this game and now severely regret it, I wish I could honestly refund but I got it with Humble Bundle :(. I have NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, i7 processor and 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz. My game looks so bad. There are almost no textures in any of the faces, my character has no eyebrows, and it just looks like once of the worst games I have seen come out since like 2008?? It seems like this is a widespread issue and should not be happening with a full release game.

Weird. When I load in to the game it takes a second for everything to fully optimize, but it does get there. I've had a few issues with some tree foliage, but that's about it. Now, does it look like any of the trailer or youtuber videos? No. It's not as nice. But it's not terrible. We've got roughly the same setup. Are your drivers all updated? Have you played with the settings in game as well as through the Nvidia options?

Have the same problem...my game looks like a PS2 port, and all other even new games works just fine. I don't get it, something is wrong with those game for sure. It's sad, because I really like the game, I still play it, but I'm kind of dissappointed that it looks like this :(

Try to change graphics settings to Direct 11 and turn off Vsync maybe? I've read in some review that it might help, personally I've never had this issue

Nope, didn't helped for me.

This many reports of poor graphics baffles me. I'm so spoiled by the quality of its graphics that I've since looked for games of equivalent if not better quality.
I play WoFI on a Gigabyte Aorus 15 XE4 gaming laptop (Google finds its specs); I posted its WoFI graphics options settings in Steam Community screenshots a few months ago. Still runs just fine with those settings since 1.0 was released. WoFI does work its NVidia GPU pretty hard, though... :-/

I have the same problem and don't find a solution. Sadly with my lost save it's too much to continue this game :steamfacepalm:

For the past month or two (as of 17 Aug 24), I've had WoFI's RHI set to DX11, Upscaling to DLSS, its Quality to Auto, Shadows Foliage Textures to High, View Distance to Very High, Volumetric Cloud to On, Post Processing to High, and FPS to jitter-free 45fps.

The NVidia RTX 3070 Ti runs much cooler at under 50% capacity; so the cooling fans spin much slower and quieter too, instead of hissing loudly while the GPU ran at 100% capacity as it did during Early Access.

Image quality is quite good—with clearly defined anti-aliased edges and richly coloured imagery—to which myriad Community screenshots will testify.

BTW, my Resolution is set to 1280x720 with Full Screen set to Off (i.e., it's windowed)—so convenient when often switching to homemade game notes, 41 previous game's Map screenshots, and so on.

Intel 12th Gen i7 (12700) CPU
NVidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU
NVidia Control Panel: GPU Preference/Priority is set to NVidia because, per Enjoy Studio, this game figuratively chokes to death on Intel's Integrated Graphics processing.

My machine's drivers and software are also auto-updated by IObit performance utilities—quite crucial to both machine and game performance.

So, no: aside from this game running on a machine that is under the game's minimum specs and/or has its RHI set to DX12 which is reportedly quite prone to developer-coded bugs, I really don't understand the issue(s) that cause poor quality imagery and performance.

Baffling, isn't it? :steamfacepalm:

Make sure to change upscaling to DLSS. After that, I think its jut a lack of polish on the game.

Polish without polish? I don't believe it ;-)

Lol, the 3070 came with the PC bought new during a Black Friday sale (over 'less powerful' systems) for 42% off.

So glad Creeperfox's DLSS tip worked 4 U.
