Weird ghosting effect when rotating the camera

[Mr. Balty]

Hi,

I get this weird ghosting effect when James is moving or while rotating the camera. Is this an intended effect or a graphical issue? It's very distracting.

Try using DLAA as AA or DLSS. Didnt notice any ghosting

Could be your monitor, if it doesn't have a high response time, which will cause ghosting. It could also be motion blur, which can be disabled in-game.

Does it have framegen? that sounds like frame generation issue.

It's just the game I think. I've seen a bit of a playthrough on PS5 and it's the same there. As a matter of fact many games have this, I guess most people don't really notice and/or care.

add this to the engine. ini at the bottom

[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.motionblurquality=0
r.Distortion=0
r.DisableDistortion=1
r.TextureStreaming=0

Yeah no matter the settings, there is a terrible ghosting around James when moving the camera in front of fog. Motion blur off doesn't help either, and changing different AA settings don't have any impact, the ghosting is always there. I am puzzled

I'm playing on LG CX, DLSS Balanced. Tried all the graphical settings but nothing helped. Disabling the motion blur did not solved this. Frame Generation is not available for this title.

U have to use Lossless scaling to get frame gen. works nicely.

It's a super annoying problem in many modern third person games that have tons of post-processing effects.

Jedi Survivor has this problem, A Plague Tale Requiem has this problem, and I think Alan Wake 2 has this too.

Black Myth: Wukong as well.

Also it's not exactly ghosting but I noticed during the cemetery cutscene, the outline of Angela's hair would appear really "pixel"-y, jaggy, you know what I mean?

I hope someone find a fix. There has to be one

Yes the image quality is super weird no matter the upscaling mode. I think depth of field is broken in cutscenes which causes what you just describe, the pixel crawling arounf the hair

This is where you can find your config files:

Edit: your fixed worked, thank you!!!!

Edit 2: not sure this is the reason, but the game crashed for me after the Angela cutscene.
