How to reduce the "jaggies", meaning the flickering of trees and grass = remove the in-game AA filter. Use the Nvidia CP to select you preferred AA filter. You have a hell of a GPU there, go wild and choose according to your likings.

How to reduce the pop-in:
- install the game onto a SSD drive.

remove the following:
- other's effect
- other's laterns
- other's pets
- other's nameplates

enable high-end mode

I would also remove the Improve Distance option and pump the anisotropic filter via the Nvidia drivers.

Of course, mandatory to install the latest WHQL drivers as they are specifically "game ready" for BDO now (meaning that any selection you make in the NV CP, will have better results in the game).

There's also a depp and "custom" tweak you can make to completely remove the sharpening filter from the game, problem is that the filter comes bundled with other post-processing effects, such as reflections, godrays....your call, I personally helped in testing this back in the old days, but ended up not using it.

Generally speaking, it's never a good idea to "inject" anything into a game that was previously intended to be in it, especially considering the use of anti-cheat built into the game. As for your issues, it's more than likely just a limitation with how the game was made. If the max settings as well as high end mode enabled doesn't look good enough, there's not a whole lot you can do.

i'm pretty sure something is off.... it's looking like upscaling option is on, even when it's off..

another thing i notice is i can't change some settings they automaticly revert on restarting the game... always start on "low power mode" and some more...

i'm pretty sure this game should be able to draw straight lines... but the jagginess is everywhere... every stair, every building everything is looking like a chainsaw... nvidia panel settings doesn't apply and changing to 4K resolution even doesn't help it... but when looking at players pictures, some streams & videos the game look good....

The game has been updated quite frequently lately. Have you tried just doing a fresh install? I find that it usually fixes most issues that I have with all of my games.

It may be because your game reverts back to the default settings. I have your rig, and the game looks fantastic in 4K!!

You see, if you tinker with the Settings option from the title screen, they WILL reset when you load into the game. This is a bug.

However, use the Settings when you're actually in-game instead. ; ) Put everything on their highest settings, High-end mode and all.

Lastly, use the 'Depository' feature, press 'esc' and the tab is on the bottom right. Upload your settings and download them when you need them or play on a different PC.

Ahh, I never change my settings at the menu which would certainly explain why he's having the issue. I'll send a message to our admin to see if he knows anything about this bug.

Yeah, it would explain a lot -- and yes, please send it to the admin and hopefully they'll have a look into it and have a fix soon.

This was the reply from the GM.

It is true that this can happen at times, usually when your Cache folders are corrupted. The resolution to this is simple; deleting your UserCache folder will clear up your old settings, and allow you to set new ones up without them being lost. Instructions can be found below:

• Close your game client.
• Delete the UserCache folder in C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Black Desert directory.
• Delete the Cache folder in your game installation folder.

Note that your UI and game settings will be lost, although keep in mind that you can use the Depository function found at the bottom left of your Settings menu to save them online, giving you the opportunity to re-apply them.

Best Regards,

GM Horizon

Thanks for the replies, the problem is whenever i restart the game they revert to deafult or something.. even if i change the settings from menu or in-game. the jagged lines really catch my eye and i can't focus on the game :(

i'll try deleting the cache and will report results.

Can you provide screenshots for me. Maybe at a common city than I can go to and compare results?

Try adjusting your vision range under "Performance" tab under settings. It's all the way at the bottom. Mine is set at 50. This may or may not help. Let me know if it does anything for you.

By the way, turn off "activate aiming assistance" (on by default I think) in settings -> game, improved things a lot for me.

I played with the vision range from 50 to 70 it's the same. it's like everything few meters away from me is rendered horribly and is pixelated and jagged. the closeup character, and everything when zoomed in look beautiful.. also still getting annoying to change the settings everytime i log in ..
