Ark looks blurry?
I have already turned up Resolution Scaling, Everything on Epic and let my Nvidia GPU handle AA 16x. Still, my Ark looks blurry and grainy, especially when looking at LOD Objects or Building parts.
Can this be fixed?

also why are you running windowed fullscreen instead of fullscreen
motion blur doesnt change that.
Normally I play on Fullscreen, but I tried it out, to see if anything changes.
can you like upload a small video or something to YT?

another thing, is your monitor set to it's native resolution and are you running the game at that native resolution?

The screenshots look pretty normal to me, some people just don't like the way Ark does distance.

Yep, the distance blur is real....

distance blur is real it, but wasn't always like that, but now it is do to ,no longer using older
gpu drivers, newer ones don't work as well.

i've try'd a lot of things but sadly no setting will fix the burr.

also that video you showed, you should've taken one from in game, that'd help your point.

non the less, it is what it is...

The last one is without AA.
It doesnt look as blurry in the picture, because its still. But if you move, it gets really blurry

You have reshade filters on or settings changed from graphics card?
I have no issue with blur when moving.

Have you checked if display scaling is on from graphic card drivers? Wrong scaling causes blurry image. Then again it should be blurry overall and not only on moving.

Only things that come to my mind is something wrong with monitors own settings or scaling.
Forced motion or depth of field settings.

You could try deleting games user settings file or do a clean install.
I had to do that to fix graphical issues when upgrading to 3080.

I did a celan Install, My Displac scaling normal and there is nothing wrong with my monitor. Its only this game.
Mabye Blurry is not the correct word.
Here are some more pics that show what I mean:

My wooden shack is pixelated, the grass (its mod but thats the case with everything that is like this) is pixelated, Objects are not smooth when seen from further away. Close up is just fine, its more like objects in the distance, that are pixelated and unsmooth. I only know this when games have no AA, SMAA, MSAA or FXAA.

here is the fix,

Verify Integrity of Game Files

Restart your computer and launch Steam.
From a game's library page, select Manage > Properties.
Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files... button.
Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
once you have completed these steps, before you launch ark, click play the first time normally how you would, then when the grey box pops up with options, you have to lick play, reset resolution

And after that I just have to configure my settings again?

Yeah, seems like they have forced the TAA type of antialiasing to be always on now even if you set antialiasing to low. This makes the game look blurry, specially on objects like bushes and stuff from a certain distance. Would be nice to have the option to set antialiasing to OFF completely.
