Resolution and aliasing

[cryang]

Is it just me or is there something wrong with resolution or how the game handles aliasing? I'm playing on 1080P on high settings and aliasing is so bad it almost looks like the game is running at 720P and is being stretched to 1080P. Even the in game texts looks slightly pixelated. I have checked out PC version footage and it looked fine in those videos so I feel like there's something wrong with my configurations.
I am playing the game on game pass so I'm not sure if the steam version has the same problem

I was just playing on the xbox app and yeah, it is definitely blurry. I read that if you change the dpi settings that would fix it, but it didn't make any difference to me. Something is off.

I'm trying to play at 4K but it looks like its still 1080p, is it jagged edges? im having the same problem

[Luna ~]

looks good to me? It might have same problem some Older games have coming to windows like NMH 1 did
Try right clicking EXE and
Go to the Compatibility tab.
Click "Change high DPI settings".
Check the box for "Override high DPI scaling behavior".
Make sure "Application" is selected in the drop-down menu.
Press OK.

This also can generally happen when peoples scaling in windows is set to more than just 100% so that might be it too.

Try changing display scaling to 100% if it's not already there.

This happened to me, I found a solution.

It defaulted to 1080p and 120Hz on my 4k-120Hz screen but it was only outputting 60Hz. I changed the resolution to 4k and that worked but it was still 60Hz. So I disabled V-sync, that seemed to work and now I was getting 120Hz but there was a lot of tearing and the resolution, although displaying 4k looked blurry as ♥♥♥♥.

Then I just alt-tabbed out of the game and the back in, the resolution now was fine, crisp at 4k. I tested exiting the game and going back in and the resolution stuck.

Hope this helps.

Okay I just found switching to windowed mode completely fixes the issue, however the problem is now I have to play in windowed mode...if someone has an workaround that'd be great

google "windowed borderless gaming"

To me the graphics look fine but some UI elements look a little low res, lol.

Actually this worked, changing display settings -> scale and layout in windows to 100% fixed the issue, even playing in full screen...I guess I'll just have to change it every time I play , which is still not ideal but it's something I can live with

Everything sharp and pretty here on 1080p max graphic 100% res scaling

For 4K I had to use borderless gaming, it's late but I'll tinker with the options tomorrow to see what's causing the screen tearing in the anime cut scenes at 120fps. I bet it's v-sync

I'm playing on Game Pass, and there is definitely something wrong with the resolution scaling in game, particularly of the HUD elements. Text boxes and on-screen prompts look over-sharp and low res no matter what resolution I pick. Looking at screenshots of the game here on Steam, the HUD does not look anywhere near as low res, nor does it look this low-res in promotional videos.

I'm also playing the game on Switch, and the HUD elements look equally low res... it's almost like the HUD is rendering at 720p (or lower) regardless of in-game settings.

Problem with Display Scaling option in desktop

I set mine to 125% and the game resolution are so janky and blurry window mode fix it but if you using stuff like Borderless Gaming it will revert back to blurry again

Special K can fix it too but it crash on some place so i uninstall

The only choice work for me is to change display scaling back to 100% it annoying especially when i tab back to check some stuff everything look so tiny since i play with 125% all the time

Looks like I have to do the same fix. I use 125% display scaling in my Windows settings too, and turning it back to 100% fixes the busted UI rendering.

Usually setting High DPI options on a game's EXE will resolve any Display Scaling options, but not for this game. I have to manually set display scaling to 100% before booting up the game.

Special K doesn't crash it's the game itself there is an error with the Thieves guild/network stuff atm on Game pass and Xbox consoles and the error message which comes up if it can't connect to the servers freezes the game with special k enabled.
