Why does the game look so blurry?

[AncientFlames]

Max settings and motion blur off, the ac and enemies look crisp but everything else has like 7 layers of film grain over the top of PS2 textures.

Turn off Depth of Field?

This!

I tested the settings for like an hour:

- Depth of Field for some reason ONLY when turned to max, makes everything in the background EXTREMELY blurry, set it to High instead where you won't have that, or turn it off.

- Disable Antialiasing (it smooths the edges of everything, which technically makes them a lil bit blurry)

- Motion blur does not make things in the world blurry unless they move or you move your camera.

- But THE BIGGEST of them all and probably the main culprit whether you realize it or not: Chromatic Aberration.

in this game this filter it's extremely prominent, makes everything blurry and can't be disabled, it's just ugly af, waiting for modders to remove it.

Yeah definitely improved when I turned the settings you mentioned down or off. Still looks really chunky, which I know it's the textures themselves because they are decently high res up close. But from a distance everything in brown milk.

Same problem enemys looks very blurry FullHD 360Hz Display.
(Even upscaling to 2880x1620 will only help a little)
I will try the settings..

Edit: turning Depth of Field down from max to high fixes the blurry enemys.

Turn off HDR

just booted the game and damn everything is so freakin blurry. Hope it get fixed. Feels like an upscaler is in play here by default?

It goes away if u set the game to default High. Might be DoF or some weird aggressive AA. Personally i always play my games one step below max so i can game at 120-144fps anyway so its whatever.

Chromatic abberation is actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and an accessibility issue. I legitimately got headaches from playing elden ring before the mod came out to remove chromatic aberation. I got a headache within an hour of each play session, never had this problem in any game. Other people on reddit suggested it was the chromatic abberation and they were right. I was not getting headaches from armored core, however, but i only played 2 30 min sessions because i just dont like the game.

From sure love their chromatic aberration for some reason. It was HEINOUS in Bloodborne and in Elden Ring it's bad enough that most of the time I will play it modded to get rid of it. Getting rid of CA is actually a bigger win for me than being able to use my 21:9 or having more than 60 fps COMBINED. I really don't know why they love that effect so much (not that I understand why anyone likes it at all), but they really seem to love baking it in there with no option to turn it off.
