Blurry screen on the middle, clear on the sides.

[Ascarie]

Is there a fix for this? I am using 2x (200) rendering for the game and it is still blurry in the middle. On the sides of the screen (Up, Down, Left right) it has a clear image.

Can you post details of your GFX card and monitor, plus some screenshots, to help us?
Increasing the rendering does not get rid of aliasing, even at 400%, the game is well known for poor anti-aliasing and having "jaggies" and shimmering.
You may have to adjust your GFX settings to get the best out of it, there are many, many threads on here if you search this forum about just a-a and fixing it.

Radeon HD 7850 (2GB VRAM)

Monitor is some random LG TV I bought for cheaper price.


Screenshots seem to show normally.

You are supposed to post the screenshots here, we can't see your monitor. Take a couple of them showing the blurriness.
If the screenshots appear normal, it isn't the game, it's your random TV, a computer monitor is not a TV for a good reason. Run the game at the native resolution of the screen you view it on, otherwise you will experience problems.

SCREENSHOTS:
Press F12 (if you use a Laptop you have to press FN+F12) to make a screenshot. Quit the game and upload the screenshot to Steam. Go to your profile, then to the screenshots and click on the screenshot you uploaded. Click on the link in the top of the Window that opened which opens another window. From there you copy the address which you paste here.

But with numbers instead of the "x".

Can you post your multimon_config.sii to pastebin and then link that here? Sounds like there is something off on the settings for just the middle monitor.

Oh dang, I read this as OP having 3 screens. Oops!

The OP says "On the sides of the screen (Up, Down, Left right) it has a clear image." so I'm guessing it's a single monitor setup.
My guess would be a GPU driver issue, especially if you're not having the issue outside of the game. If installing the latest Radeon drivers doesn't fix it, try running DDU to completely wipe the old driver from the system first (assuming you know how to run Windows in Safe Mode).

You didn't have the TV plugged into a Mac beforehand by any chance, did you?

[Ascarie]

Just started checking things in differend games and the issue persists there aswell. I'm on the edge of totally upgrading the whole setup so, hopefully a nice fresh "restart" will solve the issues. If not, probably the monitor will be the bad guy.

If it's only happening in games and not on the desktop (browsers/Steam/word processors, etc.) then I'd say it's definitely the GPU driver rather than the monitor itself. Play some Youtube videos or something and move the browser window around to see if you notice any change in sharpness. If you don't, then I'd go back to my driver update suggestion.

[Ascarie]

I actually did a complete GPU reinstall with the old driver fully uninstalled. It did not really solve anything. Probably because the GPU I use is over 5 years old. Not a new rig I have.

I also got the links for the screenshots:
Take a look at the Interior GPS. On side middle you cannot see the speed limit logo, but on the side you can see it clearly.

Only that? You have no issues, believe it or not : P

[hackintoshchap]

It could well be related to your hardware and therefor your graphics settings. Higher settings may allow for a more uniform depth of field sharpness as there would be more graphics power available.

TBH, I would just put up with it and work around it as best as you can for now. If your TV allows you to set up the input for your computer (HDMI port?) with a 'PC' designation, then do so. Can make game play feel better and sometimes look a little better.

Oh, yeah that may actually not be an issue. The way the camera works in the game (and common in older games), objects in the centre of the screen are actually slightly further away, so they'll look blurrier due to there being less pixels to cover the detail.
The way I'd solve it actually a little counter-intuitive. I would increase the FOV slider, it'll actually make the problem worse but because they camera will be further back you won't notice it much.

[Ascarie]

Thank you all for the answers!
