Game is very jaggedy and sharp

[moldorm]

I have anti aliasing and anistropic turned on but for some reason all the edges and text in the game still look absolutely horrible. Why is this happening? When I watch videos on the game they don't look as bad as mine. What is causing mine to ignore the settings?

take off volumetric lighting.

Haii! I just clicked your profile to see if you had some PC specs, as I was curious because I have this very same issue...but I'm running an RTX 3070 and a 10700K. So I was thinking it may be down to our monitors?! As we're both running 1080p's at the moment. You have better htz than me at 144, so I hope at least your gameplay is smooth in general with how it feels!? I'm running triple 60 htz as money got tight right after I got the PC, so never got round to upgrading those. xD But the staircasing on lines and edges is jarring(even if I play on just one), and it's hard to make out writing on the van board unless I'm right up on it, I imagine it's the same for you.. I feel like we'd both benefit from better resolution monitors though aha..And I think when we watch people play this on YT, for example the legends that are Insym, Psycho and Nuzzgard, probably are playing on 1440/4k monitors! So that's why their game looks so nice I think. Anyway, happy hunting and hopefully one day we can both get our games nice like that! =)

Make sure your in-game resolution matches what your display is at, 1920x1080. and textures at full instead of half.

Ahh so it's not just me then. It's a pretty annoying thing to be honest, since like you said it's hard to even read the van board most times. I guess I have to wait for either a pc upgrade or the game to get texture upgrades :(

Chromeric abberation or whatever its called in pc settings i think, turn it off.

It's already off, but that doesn't control sharpness of any kind.

[redeyes]

some nvidia cards apparently do anti aliasing poorly, try just turning that setting off if it doesnt look good

You're definitely not alone! It is quite annoying, especially also as my eyes aren't great anyway aha xD I hope that one day you'll get a monitor with a nicer resolution and your game will look much nicer! I know that in Nvidia Control Panel 3D settings, there is a setting called DSR...or Dynamic Super Resolution.. That may actually help you with jaggy edges a bit for now, if you ever look into it... **Link below just in case you do!**

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3587/~/how-to-enable-dynamic-super-resolution-in-games.

For me it doesn't come up as an option unless I'm only running one of my three monitors. =( I'm proooobably gonna buy a separate monitor to use when I'm not playing driving sims.. Anyway, hope that helps! Maybe see you in a game one day! =)

Some suggestions I can offer -

1.Obviously make sure Anti-Aliasing is on in settings as well as running at your monitor's native resolution.


2. Find the executable. It should be located in
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Phasmophobia"

Right click "Phasmaphobia.exe" and click properties and navigate to the compatibility tab.

From here check "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations" and then click "Change High DPI settings" and check "Override DPI Scaling Behavior Set By Application".


3. If you have an NVIDIA Graphics card you can try going into NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings.

From here select Phasmaphobia and change "Antialiasing Mode" to "Enhance Application Settings" You should now have two settings below this that you can change.

I would recommend setting -
"Antialiasing - Setting : 2x"
"Antialiasing - Transparency :Multisample"

*If you aren't able to select Phasmaphobia in the drop down menu you have to manually add the executable. It will be found in the directory mentioned in suggestion #2.*

Please let me know if any of these suggestions improved your situation.

Sadly none of this fixed the issue :(

I'm sorry to hear that,

If I could see screenshots or preferably a screen recording of what the game looks like on your end, I might be able to lend some more suggestions.

If the issue is that distracting to you, feel free to add me so I can see the game on your end and discuss more in detail.

However, if it's not that big of a deal, I'd suggest just ignoring the issue. I've been down the rabbit hole with tech issues and trust me, sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth and leads to a dead end anyways.

I'm sorry none of my suggestions solved your issue :(

Good luck!

[moldorm]

I can try sending over some screenshots to you, maybe even a clip, and if there doesn't seem to be an immediate resolution, then I'll just have to live with it haha.

Bit of an old thread my apologies, but I also have a 3070 and i7 10700k experiencing this problem. Have you ever ended up fixing it?

[moldorm]

Never was able to fix it.
