Blur Quick Fix

This fix is for Nvidia GPU users, only. Let me know in the comments if there's a similar feature for AMD GPU's.

READ ME! Definitive edition update.

1. The guide was initially made for regular Mafia 3, NOT definitive edition.
2. The Definitive edition may not yet be supported by Nvidia Control Panel or Ansel.
3. However, the guide should still work as intended when the game gets supported. Most likely with new driver update.
3. Keep your drivers updated and type in the comments if it works again.

What?

There is an insane amount of blur in this game that you can't turn off from in-game. Here are the steps to fixing the problem in the "Nvidia Control Panel"

How?

• Step 1
1. Open Nvidia Control Panel
Right click on desktop, and select "Nvidia Control Panel" in the pop-up menu.

• Step 2
1. Click "Manage 3D settings"
2. Then "Program Settings"

• Step 3
1. Find "Mafia III (mafia3.exe)" from the drop down menu, and click on it.
It may take a moment to load the list.

• Step 4
1. Click on "Image Sharperning" and set it to "On"
2. Now adjust "Sharpen" value to your own preferences. The higher the value, the sharer your game will be. I recommend starting at 1.00.
3. Adjust "Film Grain" to your liking.

• Step 5
1. Click "Apply" then run the game.

Attention!

You won't see sharpening on screenshots taken with overlays that hook up to the game window. Steam, Fraps and MSI and alike.

Comparison. Default on the left, Sharpened on the right.

I did .75 and .15 in the global settings since I couldn't find the specific file. Making all my games look CRISP!

This is what it feels like to put on new glasses for the first time.

Oh sweet thanks man.

just use reshade and use LumaSharpening. works alot better and you can use many other effects that will make it look alot better , like Levels, DPX, Clarity. this is what i use.

I've had to use sharpening like this as well and it always worked but some odd reason it isn't working for this game, any idea?

[PrO-_ToNy]

Hmmm I added the game to it and changed my sharpening but when I launch my game it still doesn't look sharp, at least not like yours and I even set mine to what you showed in the screenshot

overlay not working for me :( Tried possible fixes to no avail

Overlay is working, but Ansel not

For anyone who can't use nVidia Overlay in game. Go in core folder of the game, then in properties of game .exe and then disable fullscreen optimization.
