(FIXED) Pixelated everything, please help

[Slinx]

Hi so i just got the game yesterday and everything is really pixelated and it makes it hard to read as well as hurts my eyes. settings are set to max (except PhysX) and the reslution is 2560x1440 which is what my monitor is.Even the steam overlay is bad, and it happens to be the best example too.

Here's what it normally looks like

and here's what everything looks like in the pre-sequel

I have never heard of this. Try verifying your game cache

Apparently having it in "windowed fullscreen" makes it looks like crap. i changed it to fullscreen o na hunch and it fixed it right up

IDK what it is about the windowed fullscreen mode but people have been having trouble with it for years. I used to have troubles with it too until I got this new system last year. I think they've improved it on more recent high res laptops (not MBP though) and smallish monitors - don't know about monitors over 22" though.

Full screen windows are rendered differently from normal fullscreen applications. There's technical reasons why it's so buggy but it's true, it's been like that for years. Surprised major game engines don't work with it these days.

Full screen windowed works fine for me at native 2560x1600. If I set a lower resolution in game it gets upscaled and anti-aliased producing an effect like the OP posted but not as bad. Win7, 980ti and recent drivers here.
