Why is the game so blurry?

[Melvin Eugene Punymier]

I'm running it at max settings with Chromatic Aberration off, 120 FPS, 1080p, and the game looks really blurry. No motion blur either. Everything just appears blurry around the edges, nothing seems clean. Is there a way to fix this?

A screenshot always helps, F12 is your tool

I don't remember exactly which one fixed this problem for me, but i had the same problem. Here are some options:
1. Set FOV to 90 (for some reason with the way graphics render in this game, low FOV tends to lead to that "blurred" effect)
2. Set Screen effects, view distance, and visual effects to as high as your card can run. This also seems to get rid of the blur around edges problem (especially having high view distance, the game really uses lower graphics leading to the blur effect on low view distance)
3. The "Tweaked outer worlds" file might help: https://www.nexusmods.com/theouterworlds/mods/9
like the previous poster put
4. Also try out some of the Reshade options if still not satisfied. Personally I like "Obsidian_Reshade": https://www.nexusmods.com/theouterworlds/mods/3

Reshade for sure, once you get the vanilla display to be acceptable. I tried a bunch & think I stuck with the CrispNClean one

Very useful answers ty

If you have a Nvidia graphics card you can enable sharpening in Nvidia Control Panel for the game if you don't want to use Reshade.

Sadly it uses Temporal AA which blurs the last 2 frames, so in the end I have to accept that the game will always have motion blur as a consequence or horribly jagged edges.

It does seem a little blurry, but compared to the xbox version it is clear as day to me. I've been stoked at how more real it looks on pc. the console version was very blotchy and hazy and cartoony.
