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.

It isn't. Its a combination of few different settings. You have no idea what you are talking about.

I'd be interested to know if there's a Reflex option for nVidia users in the game and if that helps, or how this differs between fixed refresh and VRR for people, and Vsync on vs off, etc.

It's not motion blur, or at least it's not only motion blur. If you disable motion blur, the problem still persists.

I'm playing on LG CX and i was getting a lot of VRR flicker so i switched to fixed refresh + Vsync ON and 60fps cap. That solved the issue. AFAIK there is no Reflex option in the game.

Nice. When you say solved the issue, do you mean your VRR flicker, or the ghosting issue?

I want to add that on certain TVs (e.g. TCL) you'll unfortunately get inverse ghosting (which is basically the same visually as VRR flicker) because the game's cutscenes are locked to 30 fps. TCL TVs are great bang for the buck but have problem displaying VRR content at 60 fps or below, so I always tend to play at high framerates on my TV, but due to the low framerate cutscenes, for this game, I decided to switch to my monitor to avoid the flickering.

Only the VRR flicker, sadly.

I knew it haha. I'll try it, does it really fix the ghosting?

By the time I read your comment, I already figured it out but thanks for the suggestion anyway. :D Yes, it completely fixes it. Now all I need is a fix for 30 fps cutscenes and an unlocked aspect ratio for cutscenes because I play at 21:9.

A mod already got released for SH2R, which removes both 30FPS cap for cutscenes and and the aspect ratio as well.

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.

I also thought this was the issue when i playsd on a VA monitor. Although that has 1ms response time so it was probably a stupid idea. I got an oled tv the ghosting is still there. (PS5 version)

VA is prone to ghosting, the OLED-upgrade sure is worth it. However some games (and such is the case with this one) can have ghosting by themselves.

The oficial fix I believe for ghosting is this:

Adding this to the engine.ini

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

And set shaders quality to low or medium

There is no ghosting in my game at all now

Edit: testing more now, there is still bit of ghosting but much, much less. This is the best option for now I believe

Did you play through the entire game using this fix with no issues graphics or gameplay wise?
