Patch - Motion Blur

[AKTANE]

EDIT: I just got a 4 mb patch that seems to have reverted this back - rejoice! There is still some blur but its totally playable now... thanks devs.

The Motion Blur is now unbearably bad. Why was this added.

It was okay before, I got used to it even though it creates weird artifacts on the wheels... it was great when there was no motion blur, but now it is awful, damn near unplayable.

My board has a ghost trail now, it looks so dumb, like a cheap mobile game. Can't even turn it off. If this is the general direction the game is heading, I'm out, lol. Might be time to boot Session back up.

Yeah im gonna go find a mod to fix this overdone blur stuff, I don't like actually playing Session. I love how SkaterXL plays, its so much more fun and nuanced. I hope they add better graphics options or fix this.

Isn't that where Easy Day Studios got their start, with mobile games?

Session has a big physics update coming soon, def gonna check it out.

[AKTANE]

Okay I downloaded the XLGraphics Mod and did SMAA + Post Processing = Off, VSync = full and restarted the game and it fixed it - if you are still interested in SkaterXL go for it, it took me exactly 5 minutes to do it.

I'll definitely check out Session again after the physics update, but I didn't like playing session at all, way too stiff, and the map wasn't great, and I could care less about getting off my board, I actually prefer the warp marker.

The game looks visibly worse now, whatever TAA anti aliasing they've just implement is a huge blur fest. Pop in everywhere too. It's just so bad now. My game was looking great before with a few ChromaFix mods/motion blur fixes. Could you imagine not having mods to fix some of this? Now XLGraphics does a decent job of fixing it, but it still leaves too many jagged edges like AA is off completely. I feel like they're optimizing the game to add multiplayer... So it will perform decent at a graphical cost, but the game just looks terrible now. Update fail.

J-Roc I agree, neither is right, it fixes the big issue but it doesn't look as clean as it did. And maybe its just me but I feel with the graphics mod the frame pacing seems off sometimes. BTW I did find restarting skaterXL after applying settings in the graphics mod sometimes works. I feel even though I have PP off there is still some PP, I don't know.

I could try to futz with my nvidia settings and do it there but im just happy its at least playable.

FWIW in the latest patch the gameplay felt smoother and the game seemed to run better but I couldn't handle that blur... I mean it looked like a mouse pointer trail on windows 98 hahaha

For a game that costs this much, we shouldn't have to use mods to turn off basic graphic settings such as smaa, ect.

Unplayable for me with all this blur, hurts my eyes and overall looks disgusting.

It is not just motion blur alone. It is a combination of TAA, motion Blur, and chromatic. It was fixable in 1.0 with mods, now it no longer is. Due to the increase in aggressive TAA. I hope they roll back the patch on graphical "improvements".

[LordOfPizza]

started the game up just now, so much blur its almost unplayable.
visually unappealing, and making me dizzy

Heads up. Just opt-in to the beta and everything is reverted. I use chroma/blur fix mod and it looks fine again in 1.0.1.2 beta

this is so awful

I already let them know at the Easy day Studios email (it is true that now the landscape is very blurred and an excess of ghosting on the wheels and the back of the board the best thing is when they see some exaggerated change or an error, bug etc. is that they report it to its email with images or proofs and this helps a lot.

you can use this mod for now which works quite well:

[AKTANE]

Does that mod work better or well with the XL Graphics one?

Anyone made some fitting lightsaber sound-mod while we're waiting tor them to fix this 'update'?
