Textures look blurry??

[crazy?]

Hey guys! I'm having an issue I can't solve. My textures for example the decoupler look extremely blurry. The mission banner however looks just fine. Here is a screenshot. I know they weren't always like this because im 100% sure i was able to read what it said on the capsule some time ago. I'm thankful for any help :)

Graphic options-> texture resolution. Put it back to full.

Restarting the game is required sometimes to make the changes stick.

If that doesn't work, it might be a read-write issue. Make sure your KSP folder isn't set to read only in properties.

Your graphics card also has a texture quality setting, make sure that's not on low as well.

You should check your graphics options and make sure the texture setting is up all the way.
Not sure why it didn't affect the fuel tank though.

[Yuki]

It did. Just this specific fuel tank is affected less by half resolution thanks to how its texture is made up, allocation of space per face.

I played around a bit and the res slider only seems to control the ground textures of the VAB? The other textures don't seem to get affected.

You sure you got the right setting?

Texture resolution is a button selector, not a slider.

Oh! My bad, I was looking at the in game version which uses arrows.

Yeah that's the one though. I assume you've tried restarting the game?

Can you go and find your KSP settings.cfg file? (Right click KSP, go to properties, local files, "browse local files" You can open a .cfg file with notepad, it's just text.) It'll say what your actual graphics settings are at as far as the game is concerned. This part specifically:

FULLSCREEN = True
QUALITY_PRESET = 5
ANTI_ALIASING = 8
TEXTURE_QUALITY = 0
SYNC_VBL = 0
LIGHT_QUALITY = 8
SHADOWS_QUALITY = 4
FRAMERATE_LIMIT = 180
AMBIENTLIGHT_BOOSTFACTOR = 0.2000008
AMBIENTLIGHT_BOOSTFACTOR_MAPONLY = 0
AMBIENTLIGHT_BOOSTFACTOR_EDITONLY = 0
PLANET_SCATTER = True
PLANET_SCATTER_FACTOR = 1
WATERLEVEL_BASE_OFFSET = 1.5
WATERLEVEL_MAXLEVEL_MULT = 0.1
UNSUPPORTED_LEGACY_SHADER_TERRAIN = False
AERO_FX_QUALITY = 3
SURFACE_FX = True
INFLIGHT_HIGHLIGHT = True
FALLBACK_UNDERWATER_MODE = 1
SCREENSHOT_SUPERSIZE = 0
SHOW_DEADLINES_AS_DATES = False
DEFAULT_KERBAL_RESPAWN_TIMER = 7200

My texture quality is at max which is 0, so yours should say 0.

Sure! Here you go:
FULLSCREEN = True
QUALITY_PRESET = 5
ANTI_ALIASING = 2
TEXTURE_QUALITY = 0
SYNC_VBL = 0
LIGHT_QUALITY = 8
SHADOWS_QUALITY = 4
FRAMERATE_LIMIT = 120
AMBIENTLIGHT_BOOSTFACTOR = 0
AMBIENTLIGHT_BOOSTFACTOR_MAPONLY = 0
AMBIENTLIGHT_BOOSTFACTOR_EDITONLY = 0
PLANET_SCATTER = False
PLANET_SCATTER_FACTOR = 0.5
WATERLEVEL_BASE_OFFSET = 1.5
WATERLEVEL_MAXLEVEL_MULT = 0.1
UNSUPPORTED_LEGACY_SHADER_TERRAIN = False
AERO_FX_QUALITY = 3
SURFACE_FX = True
INFLIGHT_HIGHLIGHT = True
FALLBACK_UNDERWATER_MODE = 1
SCREENSHOT_SUPERSIZE = 0
SHOW_DEADLINES_AS_DATES = False
DEFAULT_KERBAL_RESPAWN_TIMER = 7200

Hmm, well the setting looks correct.

I'm still thinking it's a read/write issue with your KSP folder. The settings are there but they aren't getting applied maybe.

Back out to the "common" folder, and right click the KSP folder, go to properties, there will be a box that says "read only" if it's checked, uncheck it and apply to all folders and subfolders.

Also here's a shot of what it looks like in my game, might help you be sure you've fixed it.

I did before and noticed that it rechecked the read only box. Weird. Maybe it's really is just me.... Could you send me a screenshot of some of the standart parts? I did another one too, maybe its just how the textures are.... https://i.imgur.com/NXvQpBf.jpg

Ah I seee you just did. And damn your MK1 textures look just like mine! It really is me then... I am sorry for wasting your time :(

I posted one above^

Nah it's not just you, it's windows being an absolute tool about anything installed in the program files folders. It's very possesive of those. We only really need the settings to apply once though, if it goes back to read only after, no big deal. You can fix it by taking ownership of the folders back over from Windows, but that's quite a task, and I don't recommend it to anyone who isn't pretty darn computer savvy.

Btw, have you checked your graphics card settings too? There is another setting for texture quality in there, and it can over-ride the game settings some times and/or make your textures look worse.

If you look closely, yours are definitely really blurry, I don't think it's just you. (Zoom both pics in and look at the black and yellow caution striping.)

I mean KSP has pretty lack luster textures yeah, but this has happened to me before (and others, you aren't the first to have this issue) as well, usually after a re-install. Some textures look good and others are super blurry.

Re-applying the settings and restarting the game always worked for me though. If none of the things I suggested worked, try deleting the settings.cfg file, then go back to Steam, right click KSP, properties, local files, "verify integrity of gamecache."
