Graphics settings just plain don't work?

For whatever reason it seems that the graphics settings in-game do absolutely nothing for me. The game always looks like a blurry horrible mess, with textures so bad you can't tell what they are. No graphics setting seems to change anything at all. Even turning it from Borderless Windowed to Fullscreen doesn't actually work, even after applying it and restarting the game, it's still Borderless Windowed.

Same for me and my RTX 3050 (laptop).

Not really surprised then These RTX3050 laptops only have 4GB of VRAM. I'm playing at 1440P on an RTX 3080 and I'm hitting 9GB on a 10GB card.

Not seeing the issue borderless windowed is the setting you want to be using in windows 10/11.

Playing on laptop?

Seems like there's a bug where the game might load your textures to the WRONG VIDEO CARD -

I followed the prompt that Private Division provides to set the NVIDIA driver as the default and the graphics still look blurry

Try changing you DPI settings on the game's .exe or the shortcut. To do so right click the file and click properties. Select the compatibility tab in the upper right. Down towards the bottom click on Change high DPI settings. Another window will open. At the bottom of the new window check the box that says Override high DPI scaling. Hit OK and then Apply in the original properties window. Also if the game is stuck in Borderless Windowed you can hit Alt-Enter to force Full-screen from in game. Hope it helps.

28-8-20203 --> I found a problem .. Yesterday i was playing the game and my memory on the GPU was always 100 procent full .. Then i go to another area in the game and it was confirmed the memory handle in this game is very bad .. The game crashed and said out of GPU memory and i restart and everuthing was fine again ..

So the memory handling in this game is very poor optimized .. I changed my Physics to the AMD CPU and the GPU was performing better .. So i play now with Physics on the CPU and then the game keeps running fine for me ..

Hei, I just recently bought the spacer's edition and I seem to suffer exactly from the same problem. GPU says it is at 100% usage, and even if I lower settings and the GPU then says it's working at 60-80% it doesn't matter, every texture looks like clay or a bad molded plastic, and the texts and details are extremely blurry or non-existant. So I was wondering if you could explain to me how did you change the physics to be processed by the CPU? May be the only solution for me other than buying a new high-end computer.
