VR blurry road signs in the distance

[London]

Can I do anything about blurry road signs in VR? Running the latest branch through SteamVR & Virtual Desktop on my Meta Quest 3. Everything looks pretty great except for road signs in the distance. When I'm nearing them they become sharper and readable, but far away is a mess.

I've tried changing various settings in the config file, but nothing seems to work. I also installed Snowymoon and running the Clarity+ preset but that also doesn't fix my problem.

My PC: 12700k, RTX3080, 32GB ram

What else can I do/change?

Hey there, as there are no replies to your post I'm wondering if you found an answer to this elsewhere?
I've just started the game in VR using Quest 3 and am having the same issues. Tried changing Scaling options and antialiasing too with no real improvement.

The answer could be the usage of VR itself. ETS2 uses TAA and movement in the game can appear blurry or washed out - even on a regular monitor. When using VR there is more movement of the scene because you’re looking with your head and eyes instead of only your eyes and more steady mouse/controller movement.
TAA can make games softer looking (issue with many games) or blurry because of the way TAA works. But it also comes down to how TAA is implemented in the game - and in ETS2 there is room for improvement.
Try changing TAA Soft to TAA Sharp and raise TAA Luma sharpening. That might help. You can always add SMAA combined with TAA to get a more natural look with less blur. You can also try disabling AA completely as a test. Adjust until you find a look and feel that’s right for you. 👍🏻🙂

If you use scaling lower than 400% the problem gets worse. 👎🏻

Cheers for the quick response. I'll give it a go. The game is really sharp in the Cab and for close objects just those further away.
Someone else suggested on another forum to change some config lod values so will give that a go separately.
Thanks
