Game is really blurry?

[Noodlesocks]

Game looks really blurry, figured it was Anti Aliasing but can't find anti aliasing in options?

Disable grain and motion blur
Don´t use DLSS or FSR

Problem solved.

[Bunker]

also depth of field option to disable in the settings

feels like the textures dont fully load in when you first start. maybe its LOD texture thing installing in the background still

[Noodlesocks]

Always turn those off. Doesn't matter what settings I use, game still looks grainy and blurry. Is it suppose to look like this?

Looks like a PS2 game. It's like the game isn't even using the graphics card.

Must be your computer. On my computer the graphics are the best I have ever seen in any game.

You adjust the Sharpening in the options?

I use DLSS and DLSS Quality setting. My game's images are never blurry. I do however, have Motion Blur and Grain Intensity off, so those are good suggestions.

Looks like DLSS ultra performance on 1080p

After going through each setting one by one, turns out indirect lighting is the culprit. Cranked it up and seems to have sorted it. Don't know why this affects aliasing and grainy textures but it does.

Good to hear. It shouldn't have, but whatever, you got it to work well for you and that is what matters.

Interesting. I wonder why that does that for you, and why it causes it to look like that?
As you said, it really does look like something off a PS2 in that screenshot.

And you turned it *up*, so my initial thought of the PC turning down the resolution, because it couldn't handle the reflections/light sources correctly, would be wrong....

Only other thing that springs to mind is your Graphics driver, but more people should have seen this if it was that...

Doesn't to me at 1440p or 4k.

Thinking it was an old driver (I'm terrible for updating) I updated it but still an issue. After discovering this "fix" I googled it and noticed a few others having similar issue. I am curious to know exactly what this setting changes, first guess is lightmap resolution or something.

FSR is the biggest culprit ofc.
DLSS on quality and FG can be perfectly fine, even more so if you run higher resolutions.

But it does tend to blur out on 1080p with ie. performance settings.

As someone said, the FoD also gives a bit, not that you should understand what is and not see full blur.


If you have low FPS in this game, 30 FPS ie. then I actually recommend film grain and/or sometimes blur. That will help the game look more fluid, without it, then you need 60 fps to get similar result.

When you watch a movie on netflix (to make an example) the movie is running in 24 FPS and its perfectly fluid, this happens because there is film grain etc. Your brain will not have to intake as much detail, as with crystal clear gaming ie. where everything is detailed and clear.

My point here. it all depends on what you want. But I assume the OP is 60 FPS or more, so that the fluidity is there and then I think they should disable as much as they can. If they do have a modern Nvidia card, DLSS quality can be alright on 1440p and 4k. (you don´t wanna use DLSS with 1080p) FG is great, that is something one should use if they can.

You have to tickle the games balls for it to work right.

DLSS and DLSS set to Quality looks fine at 1080p on my 24" monitor. No blurriness. I do have sharpening turned up fairly high. And the images are sharp. Not blurry. My GPU is a RTX 3060ti OC. Game plays smooth with Ultra/High settings.
