Blurry Wallpaper Fix? :3
When I "animated" a live scene before and it was HD, the display on the editing screen and desktop were also HD. Now, when I came back to use that same scene I "animated" before, it is now blurry and everything I created also became blurry. The wallpapers I subscribed on the workshop work well and in full HD though. How do I find a solution to this? Thank you so much :D

Does the wallpaper match your screen's resolution / aspect ratio? Otherwise Wallpaper Engine may be forced to "zoom in" on your picture, making it appear blurry. Maybe share a screenshot of your Scene in the editor and your Scene applied as a wallpaper.

Yes, it matches the aspect ratio, most of the wallpapers I create matches my aspect ratio. The other wallpapers I subscribed in the workshop that exceeds my screen aspect ratio were totally HD. :3

1. The wallpapers that you have subscribed to that looks fine, what "Type" are they? Scene, Video, Web?

2. Are default wallpapers such as "Neon Sunset" affected by this issue?

3. Are you wallpapers published and could you link one or two examples?

1. They are mostly scenes but almost any type wallpaper I subscribed to are perfectly fine :D

2. The "Neon Sunset" is HD so I think not :3

3. Here are the links of some of my wallpapers. These were HD when I made 'em

Your wallpapers look fine on my end, could you share a screenshot of your problem (with these two wallpapers) just so that I get a better idea of the problem? It's unusual for Scene wallpapers to appear blurry and I'd like to see what it looks like.

I am not sure I see the problem to be honest. Did you maybe enable the "Half" resolution option in the "Performance" tab of the Wallpaper Engine settings? It does not look like it but I am not 100% sure. Other than that, both wallpapers look fine on your screenshot, that's just what they look like. The second wallpaper is 1191x670, so its resolution is a bit lower than your screen which means it will look a bit blurry. I think there might not be an issue here to be honest, maybe you just misremember the sharpness of your wallpapers?!

The resolution is always set to Full :3. I can understand why the 2nd wallpaper is a wee bit blurry. Here's a screenshot of the 1st wallpaper before it was animated.

I didn't do anything on the resolution of the photo even after animating it:P Looking closely by using Zoom to the screenshot of the animated version and non-animated, you can see the difference :D

Is there perhaps a difference between your local project and what is uploaded on Steam and you added some effect or a composition layer that makes it blurry?

Other than that, try reinstalling all of your graphic drivers with "clean" settings. I.e. for Nvidia graphics cards you can do that with a checkbox in the installer.

If that still does not solve it, please share this log so we can see more details about your PC and settings: https://help.wallpaperengine.io/en/debug/scantool.html
