UPDATE: If you have Nvidia RTX in your PC you may be able to change from AMD FSR sharpening (default) → Nvidia DLSS sharpening in the "System Settings" > "Graphic Settings" and thus address the issue that way. Seem the problem may be an issue with the FSR default setting and doing the scaling method 100 to 99 method helps whatever is happening to be bypassed.
Hopefully there is a more concrete solution in the near future, but wanted to make this video to help in the meantime :)
It may be a me problem but after 7.0 my game with nvidia DLSS sharpening has made character models look all pixelated. I have RTX 3060 12GB. Switching it to AMD FSR With 99 scaling helped the problem though so I guess until I figure out the issue with NVIDIA, I will just keep the option set to AMD FSR
It was the same when WoW had it added. At 100% resolution scale it's deactivated, so what you're seeing is the actual default graphics, not some bugged blurry one. Setting it to 99.9% even would activate FSR. DLSS runs like shit and you can't even change quality currently.
Oh! Interesting. Hmm so like in my case I don’t have Nvidia at all in my computer so my understanding is that I don’t have access to DLSS even if I wanted to.
Could you help me understand: so is it that
A. At 3D scaling 100, AMD FSR is OFF and what we are seeing is the base Dawntrail graphics that overrides any of our computers built in sharpening. Then at 99 FSR is allowed to kick in? (FSR is a good thing here)
B. At 3D scaling 100, AMD FSR is ON and somehow overcompensating and “downgrading” the graphics. By turning scaling to 99 we cause FSR to no longer activate which allows the actual graphics as they are meant to be to shine through.
@@noasaitoshii Option A would be most correct. However, I wouldn't say the game overrides anything. With Nvidia GPU I don't have FSR on a driver/software level, but can still use it, because it's integrated in the game.
Currently I'm using FSR + Nvidia overlay sharpening. DLSS was a letdown in this game, think they messed up the integration.
dlss runs perfectly fine imo. just be aware that as long as you are above the threshold fps, it will not use actual dlss, but dlaa, the anti aliasing solution, which makes the game look absolutely amazing and smooth, but comes at a slight performance hit , not a boost. only when your fps goes below your set threshold will dlss kick in for improving performance.
@@buzzdx What threshold? You mean the setting that's only unlocks when choosing FSR?
@@olebrumme6356 no when selecting dlss there is another setting saying "below 60 fps" or "below 30 fps" for me. if you drop below that amount of fps, dlss will kick in
Wow, I didn't realize how blurry everything actually was until I tried this! Thanks!
I know right?! I just thought, hmm, the graphic update doesn’t look as nice as I thought it would but ok still overall an improvement. Then I tried this and was like ohhhhhh, hah that’s why 🫠
All that does is make everything horribly sharpened. 100 is my default and looks fine.
if you like it as is then that's great! :)
I felt the same when people were suggesting it. Might make the character's clothes texture look a little better, but makes the environment look unpolished
P.S. this is my first NON stream VOD video I'm uploading. how'd I do?
Aiming to do a lot more of this type of tips & guides type content going forward.
@@noasaitoshii it was pretty good. Good pacing to the point and informative. I think you might have a knack for guides.
Wow, this worked & fixed my ugly UI! My mini-map was so glared that I couldn't see the lines in it & everything else had an ugly glare to it.
Thank you for your help!
You are very welcome! glad it helped!
Please note that the way this works is FSR 1.X injects a very basic crude sharpening filter to help with the upscaling it does. This effect while It might look pleasing to some is NOT the intended look of the game. If you WANT sharpening I'd look to try adjusting your monitor/tv's sharpening setting Or for PC players using Reshade for a more advanced and customizable sharpening shader.
Good clarification! Agreed that it makes sense that this isn't the intended look and there's other ways to potentially get more optimized results. This was just a quick lil trick to get a more sharpened look with super minimal effort.
For those that enjoy it great! for those that want to explore a more in depth "fix" or preservation of the intended graphics, they'd be encouraged to delve a little deeper into settings and optimization :)
As people have already said this happens because FSR only activates if the render resolution scale is not at 100%. But the extra sharpness you see if because FSR has its own built in sharpening effect. Which I actually think is terrible, it adds so much noise to the picture making everything look jagged and unnatural. But I guess this is a matter of personal preference. There are better sharpening filters through reshade as an example, that do a much better job of sharpening the image and not making it so incredibly noisy.
Agreed. The sharpening looks HORRIBLE.
mhmm!! totally agree that this is not necessarily the most optimized "fix" for this. I'm sure that with the right shader/other tweaking of settings you could get a much nicer and more balanced effect. this was just a really quick fast and easy fix for those that might like this look :)
What do you use in reshade?
@@iaintdepressed Prior to Dawntrail release I was using Contrast Limited Sharpening. Now I am using AMD Fidelity FX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening. With the graphic update I find it to be a little more subtle than the other one. But with most of these you can play around with the intensity. I personally don't like it when the game is too sharp as it makes the image too noisy specially when looking at stuff at a distance.
thank you for this video, it had been driving me nuts why things didn't seem all that much better after the graphics update
right?! yeah i know that for a lot of people the look they were expecting was something closer to what we get with this 99 trick! i suspect SE might investigate a bit of a patch update to address it and bring it a little closer to this look but who knows.
glad it could help!
this switch was insanely noticeable with reshade in screenshot filters.
This was bugging me so bad. Thank you!
You are so very welcome! I’m glad it helped! :D
To add to my previous comment, not sure the difference between resolutions but I am on 1440p and holy cow, the trees look so crisp, the stone paths and everything just has way more texture. It seems like a whole new game almost. Blew my mind.
Agreed - 1440p at 99% FSR is pretty impressive...
Yeah! it is a very noticeable difference. And seeing how dramatic the change was with only that small 100>99 tweak right in the in-game settings is what made me really want to make this video since I'm sure a lot of people would wanna know as well :)
wow yeah i just tried this and it was a big difference. thanks man!
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
For me NVIDIA DLSS litteraly saved the game no more flickering trees and ugly light and shadow artefacts. Now the only "issue" is that when you are far away from a shadow you can see them geting blury and out of focus
does seem like Nvidia DLSS is the way to go if you have Nvidia and access to that
This kill my framerate on my 1060. I don't mind 100 resplution scale but my main issue is that ever so slight motion blur that's baked in to the game. Turn off your motion blur and then pay attention to the grass when you start moving. There's a visual noise to it that drives my eyes insane
Ahh yeah, sounds like there may be some additional settings you'll need to tweak in order to address that. Optimizing graphics is a whole rabbit hole that I'm only have surface level knowledge on.
Everything gets a bit darker as well switching it to 99, closer to the colours it was prior to the update. Good call out Noa.
ohh! yeah true! i noticed that happening on my end as well. the new update, esp in housing is definitely VERY bright. a good or bad thing depending what you are going for hah
The problem is not the sharpness but the led fences and the stairs and some lights from afar flicker, even though the trees and grass has stopped flickering with the new anti aliasing, the other ones did not and they still flicker.
Ahh shoot yeah, I've heard some people are having issues with flickering and some other little hiccups with the new graphics. Not sure a fix for all of those things, but hopefully as more people explore the settings there will be new info to help
Thank you so much for this! game looks instantly better!
Hooray! Glad it helped!
Both sides look blurry.
What I want to know is how to fix my character's face?! My portrait and adventure plate are ruined as well...
lol you ain't fixing that lil bro they've made it well known what the characters would look like now
imo it's better cause now characters don't have those annoying white lines between their lips in cutscenes
They ruined so many faces. Disappointing. Some look better, but some look lifeless. The smile emote looks uncanny valley territory. Send in a report. The more they get the better.
ah yeah, i feel ya. I'm not a fan of what the update did to my characters nose :| thankfully we are least all get a free fantasia and hopefully you are able to find a look that you like!
you can get even more better result using amd or nvidia sharpness filter, or through Gshade.
100%! for those willing to fiddle with reshade and other graphical setting things, you definitely could get much more custom and probably optimized results! this is just a nice quick fix within the game that takes 10 seconds to do!
Thanks for this!
You’re welcome! :)
I can’t play dawntrail everything works fine but on keyboard pressing m map is blank
That is good but the FPS drops. On my side the fps drops from 98 to 87.
Ahh yeah, with the increased sharping I imagine comes more processing needed and thus, more taxing potentially on the FPS :\
AMD seem sharper, but DLSS hide the shimmering a bit more.
Yeah it seems that there are some trade offs no matter which route you go :/ hoping that maybe this is something they can patch now that this issue has been brought up. Would be a shame for the devs to have done all this and people need a workaround/fiddling with a bunch of settings just to really see it properly
Honestly the graphics on 100 most of the time look like the old games graphics. But on 99 it looks too sharp. Is the blur a known bug or a bad implentation of a setting or two? I just want to play the game how it is meant to look, not overly sharp and not like my screen has had grease smeered on it.
Yeah I agree that it does seem odd that it works that way. TBH, I'm not sure whether this was intentional or if it's something they will try to adjust. I agree that something in between the default and the sharpened look would be ideal
@@noasaitoshii I figured out what made my game blurry atleast. I have an old GPU so it wasn't the known buggy implementation of DLSS. It was a setting in my Nvidia control panel, "Negative LOD". It was set to "clamp", I swapped it to allow and now the game looks like it should!
Thank you!
You’re welcome!!
Thank you king! 👑
you are very welcome! :D
Sounds like this is an AMD only thing. You should put that note in the title. I'm rocking an RTX 4070 Ti Super and everything looks perfect. And yes, weirdly the default was set on AMD. I flipped it to Nvidia before I even launched the game for the first time after update. Who doesn't check their settings after an update?
good clarification! wish i had a 4070!
thank you!
You're welcome! :)
thank you!!!
You're welcome! :)
Saw that on Twitter (refuse to call it X) and the game looks so much better xD. Yeah, sometimes you see it like "noise" effects, and i usually dont use fsr bc of THAT.
But what i dont understand : Why is Sqaure using FSR 1.0, when we got FSR 3.0 already? What is much much better then 1.0 x.x?
I suppose, 1.0 was much easier to integrate.
not sure! i'll be honest, when it comes to tech specs and all the different graphics settings and stuff of that nature, I am far from the most knowledgeable. it's a whole rabbit hole of debate behind the scenes for them over specs
