VERY Grainy textures, everything looks oversharpened.

[Lio]

When I enable TAAU or DLSS its gone, but when its off everything just looks way too oversharpened. grainy looking too. don't see an option to turn off film grain.

Jay, the problem is in 4k textures that they added in the game and didn't optimize, i'm not sure that the terminology on point but the textures should be scaled or something like that
honestly you can switch to ultra or high textures and you won't notice any difference

[Orion Invictus]

There's a sharpness setting. Did you try turning that down a bit?

[Lio]

Its completely off. ULTRA+ enabled as well with RT on. Ray tracing off gets rid of the oversharpened look.

[Kaldaien]

Makes sense. DLSS / TAA acts as a denoiser. You're pretty much expected to use DLSS with RT, so artists aren't going to notice if the non-DLSS RT image is excessively noisy.

Partialy its issue with edge aliasing (thats why some form of anti-aliasing is required) and another thing is, that when you set textures to max, it also changes mipmap bias - negative bias makes texture resolution fade out much further in distance than usualy.
You may want to try customizing your config and change " TextureMipBias=-2 " to -1 or disable negative mipmap bias in your gpu drivers alltogether

This is because the game uses negative LOD(level of detail) bias. You will see in user.config the bias is set to -2(lower value means closer to highest available texture), which means the game uses higher than necessary resolution texture.

I have to agree with the OP. Am getting the same thing here.

So what I just raise it?

you can go by my previous ansver... either try -1 or straigh up 0 but that could end up being too blurry instead

change it to -1 or higher

As you can see it looks like this https://imgur.com/a/m69hsoe
Also set texture mip bias to .1 and it still looks way oversharpend

I tried out myself it now.. and i can tell theres something off when you disable sharpening.
If you enable sharpening - low it looks far smoother even when it doesnt make much sense.

Ya you get it. weird isn't it?

[Enterax]

You may try setting " TextureMipBias=0 " however it doesnt fix the whole problem and it still does look like there is noise filter added to the game, unless you use TAAU (where i would recomend using atleast low sharpening bcz it may get too blurry, also keep dynamic resolution off)
