Why this game looks like ♥♥♥♥?

[Brother STX]

I have the settings on Ultra, Upscaler off, AA on Epic and it looks terrible. Everything is blurry, it looks as if I was playing in a lower resolution.

Cars have no details, there are lots of flickering elements, plus constant stutter and freezes for 1-2s.

What a mess.

My spec:
i5-13500
32GB RAM DDR5
1TB NVMe
RX 6700 XT

I have one more hour for testing, if I don't manage to get it sorted, I will have no choice but to refund it. Big disappointment.

That's definitely on your end. It looks great with tons of details. The view distance is insanely far too.

I don't believe the 2 hour limit applies to early access.

And don't touch the game if you want a refund...use the rest of the hour once they release the first patch. A lot of things are broken right now. The stuttering...Moza wheels are not calibrated by default...strange graphic issue with my co driver having his legs and arms sticking out out of the car....

The funny thing is that I took 3 days off to play WRC. Imagine my level of disappointment. It seems that I have no choice but to go back to the good old DR2.0.

Why would you take 3 days off work to play a game in Early Access 🤦‍♂️

[Brother STX]

I have no idea what was going through my mind, but I hoped the game would be playable. There was a lot of material from the game in early access on YT and it all looked relatively OK.

Lol. I took 9 days off.

For what it is I think it's 'great' for what you can compare it to I think it's garbage.

Game looks really ugly, maybe even worse then DR2.0. Its a modern standart to not let us choose the AA method so its forcing TAA which looks absolutely horrible in any game. Game is blury as hell and no details at all at ULTRA. FPS is around 55-70fps.

[Mirek]

I came here to find if anyone's having this issue too.
Stutters and flickering aside, the graphics are blurry on highest/different settings on my end.
DIRT and WRC 10/G look crisp compared this.

disable the AA, it gets way less blurry but you have to put up with jaggies

[QLIQ]

Well DLSS looks much better then Native. It is crazy how bad the AA is in this game. They should have added DLAA.
Typical for Unreal Engine racing game, look at ACC.

Game runs without any problems.... nealry 9h gameplay.
I dont use the hyped 4k and prefer 2k with high fps rates.

Win10, i7-13700k, rtx4090, 64gb ddr5.... all maxed out.

During gameplay i dont see any bugs or similar.
No crashes or stutters. Only some shader compilation issues at firt time (could be sorted in better way)

Yes, the lightning is in some situations strange (like oversaturated) and on sunny conditions.
On other side there are also very good light conditions but due to my experience its an general problem of UE4.
I have also other UE4 games and for my taste the direct sunlight can be strange.

The biggest problem so far is the replay.
There you often can see the flaws.....objects (grass, part of landscape on drone cam) which are not loaded in time.
I would say this part of the game looks like some1 was in hurry.....

And the employee which have created the stupid camera rotations should be fired.
The cameras in DR2.0 were alrady dumb and here is exactly the same.
Why the fu... i cant select a camara which i want to use during whole replay??
Look at other gmaes what great replay functions they have! And not replay save function available.

You have the latest top HW you can get in your PC. Ofc it runs well.
