Flashlight graphics settings

[dresoccer4]

can anyone suggest which graphics setting to mess with to make the flashlight graphics better? the game looks great (playing on 'high') but currently when I shine my flashlight on stuff it turns grainy and ugly.

Which of the numerous graphics settings do you think can help with this issue?

I was wondering this too. I have it on and it looks grainy in the really dark areas.

Is this a Film Grain issue? I always turn that off, and Depth of Field (Gameplay) and Motion Blur

Nothing you can do unfortunately, it's how the effect operates.

Are you using DLSS? It particularly doesn't work well with that, I believe the problem is it's essentially a low-res post process effect that really messes up reconstruction. For this reason DLSS/FSR in this game, especially in dimly lit areas, is very poor.

All those are off.

I am using FSR, maybe I will try it with it off and see if it is better. May have to go down to 1080p or 1440p with lower settings.

That is indeed it. FSR/DLSS in combination with the flashlight produces significant artifacting, especially at resolutions below 4k:

Have it on if you want quality over performance

OP here. yeah it probably is DLSS issues. unfortunately i need it to keep a decent frame rate. oh well, i'll learn to live with it :)
