Game looks bad even at ultra settings

[ELMatadario]

The game runs ok but it looks really really bad (running max settings), the antialiasing is ass (even using dlss quality), textures fully load too close to the camera and general impact is really bad.
Expecially the texture streaming issue is really annoying,,
I have a rtx 4070 super, ryzen 7 7800x3d, 32 gb ddr5 ram and nvme pcie 4.0, so a pretty good system with a recent windows 11 reinstall, playing at 3440x1440
Is anyone also noticing bad image quality and presentation? I expected way more looking at videos (expecially DF's)

The graphics do look a little dated but with so much stuff on the new map performance would be far worse if they made it beautiful. I've cranked everything up to ultra on 4K and locked at 60fps and it honestly doesn't look significantly any better than everything on high. Certainly nothing worth me losing 60fps.

I bet the single player mode of Crysis 4 will look absolutely splendid on ultra settings, which will be the real showcase of CryEngine 5.11

Game looks stunning 4 me on ultra and 4k

In Hunt 1896 you need to be smart to make game looks great again. Here I put a link for guide from one Russian streamer I personally use his guide and it's work. And you don't have to understand Russian just follow his steps he show in a video guide. He describe 4 different ways to improve visually game experience. Find which one you like most.

Honestly im glad this game hasn't bowed down to graphic andies like yourself.

The more realistic / beautiful a game looks the less time and effort goes into making the game fun. When a game has less impressive graphics I typically expect a better game over all and Hunt does that. It plays better than Arena Breakpoint even though Arena looks better. It controls much better than CoD despite CoD looking better.

Graphics are not a sign of a good game and if your experience is ruined by not having next gen graphics... then please never open up another game in your life. This mentality is actively killing the art of games making every game need unreal engine 5 and look like generic slop. Hunt is by no means perfect, it's quite flawed but what you are asking for is vain shallow slop to be shoveled down your throat.

Edit: Not to mention the fact that NONE of these super graphically advanced games can face rig at all... the more real a game looks the more uncanny it gets because we simply can't get facial rigging to look real.

i just expected to find a more pleasing image after the so hyped engine update.

then maybe you should have looked at what they were improving with the engine update.

It was lighting/shadows.
it was water tesselation.

It was not textures.
It was not models.
It was not overall graphics.

It was backend stuff that simply didn't exist in a capacity within the game. Shaders. Tesselation. Shadows. Lighting effects. Bump Maps. Normal Maps. Particle effects.

The things that superficial gamers like you look are EXCLUSIVELY textures and polygons on the model... these were not important to Crytek or the game itself.

Your misunderstanding of the update isn't a problem with it. It's a problem with you.

EDIT: Another facet of the update was to modernize some of their backend so that they don't have 3 or 4 builds for different systems based on the hardware of those systems. This is why AMD 500 series stopped working... they are outdated by the creator (AMD) and don't have the tech to keep up with modern stuff... hunts backend (hence the shadows being broken) is too much for them to communicate with.

No just sick and tired of steam users doing the bare minimum of research then talking like they understand a topic.

game looks bad, there's no topic to understand, shadows are ass, lightning is mildly improved, vegetation is still bad, textures are the same with bad streaming issues, it's no topic, it's facts.

[Peter Panzy]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think the game looked good before and better now, but thats just me

Warning, don't engage with that guy Baphomeat. He's a furry boy as stated on his own profile bio and he joins all conversations to antagonise or discredit anything meaningful in regards to your opinions. He's a Duncan Idaho wannabe. He gets banned every other week from steam discussions for it. Don't engage with him/her/them/that.

Did you uhhh, not watch the trailers that show what the game looks like before buying it?

All the games with superior realistic graphics are usually linear story driven boring blah blah. If I want movie quality sequences with realistic graphics, I would just watch a movie. Hunts graphics are fine the way they are, some animations of the PVE and hunters could be improved but the overall graphics works fine. Better graphics means a better PC is required to play with playable frame rates. This means less players for a PVP game. Go play a story driven game if you want crazy real graphics. All online games should be mid range graphics for the player base to be stable. I personally am bored by all story driven games, superior graphics or not. I suppose I outgrew this type of gaming. Would rather watch a show or movie than drudge through a story driven game.
