Pixel Art?
I have no idea how I've managed this, but MW5:M has become the greatest pixel art game I've every played.

Don't believe me? Take look:
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2440481165950719403/12E918717948B44FD3E3C0560418077A719143DE/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

The overlays and text are so crisp, but everything 3D is pixel art. 😂 I love it.

If anyone knows how I managed this, I'd love to know.

Op might want to check if this is turned on.

I can see right away that you're using mods, but you haven't bothered to relay this information to us, so go and figure it out yourself, Mr. Little "I have no idea how" Liar.

No lying at all. Yes, mods but if one of the mods is making the game into pixel art, I have no idea which one.

Active mod list:
[list[
  • 0. Expanded Logos Menu
  • ArmorGreen
  • Cockpit Glass
  • CompassHeadings
  • Coyoties mission mod
  • Expanded Company Logos
  • Mod Options
  • No Tonnage Limit
  • PurchaseSalvage
  • Remove JumpShip Animation
  • Source HD Textures - Cockpit HD
  • Star Map Mouse Over
  • UnlockHiddenColorSchemes
  • vonBiomes
  • WAR_FX (I've toggled this one to no effect)
  • YetAnotherMechlab
  • YetAnotherWeapon

Would any of these mods create this effect?

Asking because I want to make sure I can reproduce this if I uninstall and then reinstall the game.

If it doesn't look like that in 3rd person view, then it could be Cockpit Glass. I hope all of the mods are of the latest version/updated?

I think cockpit glass has problems with custom mechs but OP isnt running any in that list. UnlockHiddenColorSchemes is included in YAML ( i think. )
WarFX is old and causes a memory leak.
Can Remove jumpship animation as is a mod option for YAML.
Starmap mouse over is also included in YAML.

Source HD Textures - Cockpit HD: Try disabling this to test. ( I have never used this but stands out for a potential cause. ) Maybe a conflict with cockpit glass. ( Guess. )

Looks like that in any mission, 1st or 3rd person. In between missions, the hanger and everything looks normal. It's weird.

I removed WarFX, UnlockHiddenColorSchemes, Remove JumpShip Animations, and Star Map Mouse Over mods. Not changes.

Honestly, I'm not even mad. I'm impressed.

Yeah those wouldn't be the problem, just mentioned as were superfluous running YAML and WAR FX although pretty comes with issues.
