Resolution/graphics issue

[martymcfly_83]

So I'm running the game at my monitor's resolution (2560x1440) and noticed the game has pixelated edges, giving it a low resolution appearance, which shouldn't really look like that even without AA. I'm now wondering if this is an "artistic decision" or just poorly optimized?
I bumped down the res to 1920x1200 and it does look slightly better. I also checked out the official screenshots and the models look very crisp... So now I'm doubting it's art direction.
Is there any way to get around this so it doesn't look like PS2 game?

Thanks

Yes it looks very bad. I have also a 2k monitor.

Yeah this game doesn't appear to have a resolution option and I'm getting jaggies galore on a high res monitor. This game is outputting at 1080p which is why OP is seeing a better image when turning down his actual monitor res.

If devs are reading, this went from an instant buy to a pass bc of the demo and lack of configuration options. call me an entitled PC fanboy all you want but literally every other game in this genre offers visualization configurations. For folks bothered by this like me, check out the title Solar Ash.

I'm sorry you are experiencing these issues. I have taken note of them and passed them onto the team to look into.

Want to second this. You have to drop the res to 1920x1080 for the game to look correct. Very weird technical issues with this one.

yeah this has been un-wishlisted. Doesn't appear to support 4k and 2 months later can't even get a developer comment. On to solar ash.

Hi. I did comment above and mentioned that I have passed the issue onto the team. I do not have information on when they will be able to look into it, but when I have more information I will let you know :)

Eewf, I really wanted to try this game but I have a super-ultrawide 32:9 G95NC and its a blurry mess on anything but a 16:9 aspect ratio. I can set it to 4K but I would prefer not to play with two big black bars on the side. Sad, I really wanted to try it but i'll opt to refund it in this condition instead.

Two years since the release, and the problem has not been solved. You're kidding.

Glad I checked. Was about to purchase, but even at a great discount, still can't buy this given no 21:9 aspect support.

2024. Issue still present :(

Just beat the game, the way I was able to get by this issue was by using Reshade and adding a dither and CRT option. Definitely didn't solve the issue but made the artifacts way less visible.

The Art is semi low polygon style but I see what some people are on about yet its part of the style of game.

I use 4k and it does not bother me because it is not intended to be a sleek drawn game from the get go which i thought was just understood.
There really is nothing to FIX in this regards and for myself does not detract from the quality of the actual game play

No. If this was a stylistic choice it would've been made in a way that it's visible at every resolution, not only for those with 1440p+ displays.

I made sure to check this by forcing the game into a 1080p window with some tricks, which is by the way also a complete joke that this game doesn't have a built-in option for that. It's a night-and-day difference.

I'd also guess that this issue is less noticeable on a 4k screen as you effectively just get a native 1080p. At other resolutions however you get a really distorted and aliased image.

Yeah... It's completely destroyed at 1440p, just tried to play it, graphics looked weird. Then I found this thread, changed to 1080p, looked way better. but blurry of course. Definitely going to wait for a patch, if there ever is one. What a shame.

Man, the game has been released two years ago. Stop waiting a patch.
