How to Stop Image Ghosting (SOLVED)

[Lichdemon]

Every time I close the game, no matter how many times I swap out the upscaling technique in settings, this always seems to come back, Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Not sure I want to turn them off outright, as the game looks kinda trashy without one of them...

Answer: Turns out it was just FSR. Don't use it. XD

umm..can you be MORE clear??? Do you mean there are 'after-images' of the game STILL visible AFTER you quit and close the game? Perhaps a memory management/video memory thing? Are you making/saving snapshots or screen capthca/capture during the game? Do you at times have the game actually 'running' in the background while doing something else (such as video editing)? Are you ..using an old damn CRT monitor or analog display system?

That's typically what image ghosting means, yes. The afterimages, I mean... sometimes I pause to take a break, watch a video.

hmmm...some memory isn't clearing..or you have pixel 'burn-in' (didnt think that was a 'thing' for NON-analog monitors- - maybe use another device ENTIRELY to view other things? (I typically use smartphone for videos and news stories, since doing so won't reduce available game resources on the PC itself).

You mentioned upscaling. When people talk about ghosting with upscaling and/or frame-generation they are talking about motion artifacts that occur DURING a game, not after it's closed. What you're talking about sounds more like monitor burn-in. Is it transparent or are there whole sections of the screen that look like a partial screen-shot is left-over from the game? Either one is not good, but if it's the latter, I'd do a clean re-install of drivers, like with a driver-cleaner utility and the whole works. Because that's something messed up in software config on your PC. The game's not doing that.

It's just partially-visible afterimages of myself and NPCs, I think... only happens when I'm outdoors, though. Figured I'd have to try and upgrade my PC eventually, but I'll have to wait 'till I have more cash. x.x

I am also having a similar issue, only game that has this issue but it was fine before, dont know if its a driver update or something else causing it, who knows.

Same here; wasn't an issue during the first couple days for me, far as I'm aware.

What monitor are you using? Some lcd's have this issue of image persistence, especially the tft ones.

Don't remember what model it is, but I think I've found the issue anyway... it was literally just FSR. Turns out that's apparently a common issue it has.
