Poor Anti-Alliasing settings

[Ev0x]

Anybody else noticed washed out edges using any of the available anti-alliasing options?

Currently the best one I managed to find is TAA+ sharpening. But all in all in motion, especcially the distance objects are blurry and washed out.

I have tried to disable TAA in config file but then the edges are too edgy.. so there is no way to go here.

My graphics card is GTX 1660Ti.

Anybody else have similar problems too?

I used to plau F1 18 and the anti alliasing settings there were great for my pc. That means developers no longer put effort to provide players with good experience using a little but older video cards?

Let’s dicsuss what can be done here or even try to get some attention from devs to fix this serious problem which ruins all the experience.

Yeah all the Anti-Aliasing settings are horrible imo, I don't get why something like MSAA isn't possible.
Now you can't even disable Anti-Aliasing In-Game anymore, the only way doing that is via the config (as far as I know):

"C:\Users\%UserName%\Documents\My Games\F1 22\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml"

path to the Config,

and changing all the Attributes of the Anti-Aliasing entry to false or 0:

<antialiasing taa="false" checkerboard="false" cmaa2="false" dlss="false" cas="0" fsr="0" fsr2="0" />

Of course this will give you a bunch of jagged edges since the lack of Anti-Aliasing, but for me this is they only way to play this game without the constant blur.

Have you tried using nvidia control panel for customisable anti alliasing options? I think it could help with these jagged edges, as I read about “overriding application settings” or other option as “enhancing the aplication settings”.

I will test it by myself today, but don’t giving much hope here as with my previous experience with Crew 2 which had exactly the same problem even after few years of patching..

Your card is greatly under-powered. If you can get your resolution higher, TAA+Sharpening is pretty good. I mean, your card could barely run the game...if at all.

GPU does not affect how TAA blurs the graphics. It is purely TAA problem. For example all other, even in F1 18 Anti-Alliasing options were great, because it uses different methods (not the worst in class TAA) Upscaling the resolution is not the right method at all to deal with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ anti alliasing method.

My card runs the game in very high graphics pretty good. So this is not the case. Majority of players still uses older RTX cards, I do not understand why devs ignore that.

[NeoOne]

Your card isn't even a RTX card. They didn't ignore it. I could barely run Project cars 2 in VR with my 1660 ti super. Forget about ACC....

What a load if rubbish people say on here lol. I have a 1060 card and playing the game perfectly well and not noticed any bad aliased lines unlike in F1 2021. I think I picked the AA setting just down from the AMD one as I dont have an AMD card. Works well for me.

I would prefer they add a sharpening slider like in ACC, independent of what AA setting you are using. Then, again, if your default resolution is too low and everything is already a blurry mess, extra sharpening won't do much good. You would get more sharpened blurry mess....:)

Yeah, it is not about GPU performance. It is about AA technology. How you managed to activate AMD settings? Via config file? If yes, could you share the codes what you jave changed there?

Also, I do not say that the lines are bad aliased, the topic is about that there is too much blur on the lines in general.

Exactly! The AA slider could be a sollution here. But how to bring this message to devs.. If only they could hear us. The resolution should be same as monitor maximum resolution. There is no question here.

[NeoOne]

VR resolution has nothing to do with the monitor resolution. VR resolution is greatly limited by your GPU, almost 4x as much. You can only get more clarity if you can up your VR resolution, which is again limited by your GPU. I am running at 3060 ti here. The VR performance and image quality is slightly above ACC. The sharpness and clarity are good. I am not a VR newbie...:) I know what to expect from VR gaming. It would never be like in 2D 2k or 8k regarding sharpness.

[Ev0x]

The topic is not directly about VR, but about general flaws of Temporal Anti Alliasing. The sharpness setting is not anything near acceptable. So we need sollution how to improve sharpness or even get devs attention to add other Anti Alliasing settings.

Well its a console game ported to the PC this is why it is so backward it its graphics and other settings. Why no supersampling or MSAA?

Games like AMS2 show how PC racing games should be set up. I mean it's like the race length settings - why only 25% 50%, etc why not a specific number of laps? And why no increased tyre wear/ weather speed settings to suit the more compressed races?

Why no mouse menu control?

Whole game set up is just non sensical and still in the stone age compared to modern PC games.

Supercars and F1 Life added instead of proper game features that would actually advance the game.

Tottaly agree with you. Nothing much changed since F1 2013.. It is shame how lazy the developers are. And also, it is sad that we cannot know how the game settings will be bad before purchasing the game. Waste of money and time. Not much hope that they will add any additional settings for pc or improve anti alliasing. My only hope is nvidia panel with its own settings, but it is ussualy does not affect anything so yeah. Total dissapointed, never going to but any F1 title or Need for speed which both have the same problem on pc versions.

Nvidea panel usually does help with the AA you can try Enhanced or Override the games AA completely. But it's not as good as having proper AA inside the game itself.

I use MSAA on high in AMS2 though and it's very good - nice and sharp - and fast too. I can see jagged lines in F1 22 but it's not as bad as F1 2021 was tbh.

I will surely try this and share settings if it helps.

One other scenario is third party graphic mods like in other PC games. They ussualy help a lot, but never heard anything regarding F1 franchise.
