It might look better to you with depth of field turned off. Otherwise, it's normal looking.

You can turn off AA. It´s basically the point of AA the make it a bit blurry.

Also usually one would enable triple buffering with VSync - but i´m unsure if that does anything for this.

Else it´s - like said above - normal looking...

it looks blurry to me, but i use radeon image sharpening. turn off depth of field and try nvidia image scaling i think that's how it's called in nvidia driver.

Deferred Rendering + AA is the biggest culprit here, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should turn DR off. Deferred Rendering is a performance enhancement that's reducing video draw calls, while also allowing you to set Particles and Reflections to "Very High". However, it also reduces the quality of the Anti-Aliasing method.

Deferred Rendering (On) + Anti-Aliasing = FXAA (fastest, low quality, blurry)
Deferred Rendering (Off) + Anti-Aliasing = MSAA (slower, high quality, a method of supersampling)

It's strongly recommended to keep Deferred Rendering on regardless due to its performance gains, so the approach here is to disable the in-game Anti-Aliasing setting. If you want to get rid of the jaggies and your computer can handle it, you'd want to use DSR instead: https://imgur.com/a/tO7OwxG. Then, you'll want to increase your in-game resolution (and probably UI Scale): https://imgur.com/a/igPkEnu.

I checked mine and turning on AA does make it a bit more blurry. I always turn it off because it's not the kind of game where AA does anything except hurt performance.
But then I turn on fog for the immersion :steammocking:

Squint. Works for me but then again I have lousy eyesight.

Yea bro thats because depending on your vision you either need to be further from your screen or closer, near sides or far sided the glasses are meant to be one over the other hence what a prescribtion partly does.

I always thought the game was kind of blurry due to all of the small details, creating a sense of realism. It's a lot to process. Really creates a lot of immersion, whether the graphic quality is dated or not.

Disable depth of field, and optionally, post processing. Post processing makes everything glow, in my opinion game looks better without it.
Disable AA.
Install ReShade and enable Contrast Adaptive Sharpening, FakeHDR and Vibrance.
The game will look much better - with clearer picture, better colors and shadows.

Disabling Depth of Field helped for the distant texture, but disabling "Deferred Rendering" made a huge difference overall.

V-sync often greatly effects performance. It's the first thing I turn off, along with post processing. IDK what the visual benefit is, but the performance hit is too big for me.

Tried your suggestion. Left is old, vanilla settings. Right half is ReShade: https://imgur.com/a/7zA8Xkq
