my screen is blurry when looking at the distance.

hello, i have had many bugs in my playtrough so far, but this one i can't seem to fix, i did a very cool quest in skellige to kill a woodland spirit, and then my screen after that got blurried out at distant views, as if my characther had some eye condition.

how can i fix it?

i heard around that you can use the console to fix it, but i don't have the console, and i can't install it and make the game work with it, is there any other way to fix this?

Looks like you're talking about depth of field?

yes thats exactly it, if i deactivate it the blur is gone, but trust me its a bug, the depth of field is way to agressive as it is, its blurry in 10 meters of distance,as if geralt needed glasses.

Oof yeah that's indeed way too close, usually depth of field is noticeable at around 1-2 km away, really far off in the distance.

I know there is a mod that removes the gameplay DoF but leaves it in the cutscenes, you could try it out.

if you can list the mod and i will check it out, but i do think that playing without depth of field is better all togheter after i tried it now, it fixes the problem and makes the scenery distinct.

Lol, found it in less than a minute, here it is :

EDIT : Make sure to keep Depth of field enabled in the options so you keep the DoF in the cutscenes.

May be an visual effect from other settings as well like environments too low or anisotropic settings too low or like mipmaps has been set too low. Even too low shadows can bring the graphics down a bit.

doubt it, the problem came after a quest in a 100 hour ongoing caimpaing,i looked around the forums and wasnt the only one to have such a problem right after the exact same quest, so i think its a game related issue not a graphical one.

Hello Hell Hello. I had this exact same issue just a moment ago. (Doing my first run of this amazing game btw) I did some testing and I noticed that the *bug happens in the exact moment after the Leshen dies and the fog settles. In that moment the depth of field becomes seemingly broken and it also seems like the fog also stays around you somewhat. Not sure about the latter though. If you load a older save before you kill the leshen, everything is fine. And if you load a save after killing the leshen, the bug is there again... So this...thing...or a bug is definitely tied to the save file. Luckily I have a save before I choose to kill the leshen or the so called woodland spirit so I am just thinking about completing the quest the other way.

Hello Hello Hello again. So I tried doing the quest the other way without killing the spirit of the woods. However I still got the blur and the fog after dealing with the beast the way the elder wanted... I guess it's just some sort of quest effect and you always get it during this quest.

There are good news though. Finally after hours of agonizing, I found that the blur and the fog...just goes away after a while...... maybe after 3 to 5 minutes worth of in game time after completing the quest... Being in menus or meditating doesn't seem to count so you actually have to let the in game time pass. If it doesn't go away after a while, then it is a bug. Luckily for me it just went away.

I hope this might help others like me who are quick freak out in the slightest sight of blurriness or other unusual things....
