Blurry Graphics

[Diablowe]

Hey there,
Anyone else get shoddy blurry graphics when looking at the ships from afar on Epic graphical settings?
I've been unable to figure out what was the cause of this

[Foul Energy]

Yeah, it's a common thing, not sure what's doing it either. It could maybe be debth of feel or a LOD from far away.

At first I thought it might be the AA, or the Post-Processing effects, but seems to be neither. I actually thought the game had resolution issues for an instant.
Might open a thread on the technical forums about this

I get blurry graphics and when I use Plasma Bomb and 2 other skills like that. My screen goes nuts not sure if it was part of the intended graphics or bug of sorts.

It is the AA i think. I had it on Epic and the game looked blurry. I turned it down to high and it looks a lot better.

Same issue here. Well, I guess they ll fix thix, otherwse the graphics look really crappy right now.

The blurring effect is very common with Nvidia cards. Do you own one? If you do, I will explain how to get rid of the blurring :)

I would think thats some kind of graphics option that is enabled when the game is set to epic..

other games have it.. main one I recently played was black desertthere is an optino to blur everything in the distance for some reason.. gets turned off right away in most games hehe..

I have an NVIDIA, please Vaultboy, explain to us how to get rid of the blurriness?

Yes, I own a GTX970, another game which also happens to be blurry at native resolution is Black Ops 3, which is an issue I assumed stemed from the game itself.
How do we get rid of the blurring? Is it a mis-configured setting in the Control Pannel?

My dear fellows, actually the problem comes from a conflict between the Nvidia configuration pannel and the inner game configuration.
I had that trouble with Dawn of war II before, alternating between blurring when the screen was on the move and clear graphics when it was still. I found the solution by entering Nvidia's control panel. Then, I went to "manage 3d parameters" (sorry, I have to translate everything from my own language..) there you have a "box" with two options, either "global parameters" or "programs parameters". Obviously you chose the second one. Then you will have to select among your programs our good ol' "Battlefleet Gothic Armada". Set up the settings you desire and look for "texture filtrage- negative LOD distorsion". Then you have to chose the "fixation" option. For me it worked and I got ridd of this blurring effect.

I hope it is the "blurr" you are talking about :/

Graphic card: GTX760

Furthermore, it has to be kept in mind that the "ship blurring effect" is completely natural when you look at them from afar. It gives more realism but also optimize the performances so you will have no lag when you have many ships on the screen. It is from common usage in modern MMOSTR (World of Warship, World of Tanks).

Thank you, will give it a shot.

guyzes, you saved my life, i was begining to think am the only one with this issue!!

I shall add that it is also very common in the Total War series to blur and reduce the models details when they are far in order to make you able to still keep the same performances. Don't worry about that :) I have epic graphics + Nvidia settings too if you are wondering ^^

Yes, am aware. Unfortunately, this "blurr" I am talking about isn't related to the Level of Detail, but the overall screen resolution, as it looks as if it had vaseline spludged all over it.
Reducing the AA to High and switching the LoD Negative Distortion to Clamp has made a difference, but only marginally.
Ideally, I want the crisp and clear images and shots available in the trailers.

That blur is the FXAA used as the game's AA. Stop trying to apply snake oil.
