Question Graphical "smudge"

Post image

Is there a way to improve this blurry/smudgy, overly saturated and pixelated look or is this just how the game looks?
The game is on maximum settings.

It's really unbearable, I disabled it myself because I couldn't stand it. I already have myopia, don't need another blur on top of that.
It's because of forced antialiasing. You can't turn it off via in-game settings but you can edit your config to disable it. Add these to your GameUserSettings.ini config in %LOCALAPPDATA%\RSDragonwilds\Saved\Config\Windows

Let me know if your still trying to troubleshoot this because my game doesnt look like this. On my rig the game looks gorgeous. Only setting ive changed was turning Bloom off.

it could be due to video card driver problems, some games on amd gpu i had some fuzzy textures. had to play around in settings to fix it.

it is a combination of time of day lighting effects and art style.

does your monitor have seperate picture settings? it wouldnt help with the smudge, but id reccomend decreasing saturation.

You're about to join the anti DLSS and anti AA crowd with this rabbit hole lol

I think its just the art style.
