New Graphics Update makes the game look Blurry/washed out

I have no issues you have. What I did was I uninstalled the game completely on monday and installed it again yesterday afternoon. Everything is crisp. I got no issues, everything cranked up to max 4k @ 144FPS.

Specs:

  • W10 64bit installed on system (C) SSD, separate from the game.
  • DX12
  • Ryzen 7 5800X3D
  • RTX4070
  • 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
  • Game is installed on (E) Kingston KC3000 Nvme.

Try doing what I did. Completely uninstal the game and download it from scratch again. Backup your controls.

The only issue I have is, I can no longer alt tab when the game runs in Fullscreen windowed mode. :(

You’re funny, I have a PS5 and I can’t adjust anything… and the graphics are just completely out of focus.

It is useless advice unless you also mention what AA settings do you exactly use.

DLAA I think it’s called.


PS5 looks awful, teture not loading in front or just being blured…

Useless info, unless you post your ingame graphics settings as well.

From what I have tried so far, no matter what AA version you use, it will be blurry if you leave Sharpness slider all the way to the left. (which seems to be default setting for some stupid reason)

I have an old laptop with gtx1650 and i have no fps loss or no big graphic changes playing on medium or hight graphic quality. The only difference i can see here is ground lightning

Again insufficient, because Sharpness slider makes a big difference.

For example with FSR Sharpness with less than 3 clicks is blurry and over 3 clicks everything is oversharpened.
XeSS and TSR have different Sharpness sweet spots.

Everything maxed out. DLAA with sharpness all the way to the right (max sharpness).
Motion blur turned off. Grass range all the way to minimum. DLSS quality.

Those are my settings.

I had a hunch that the a graphical update with a scale such as this would require alot of files to be changed. So to avoid any overlooked zombie files creating conflict with new files, I just straight up completely reinstalled the game.

Did you do any file cleanup after uninstall? Games tend to leave a lot of files after uninstall, which could get picked up again by the new installation.

Game is on Steam. I uninstalled on Steam. Then deleted the War Thunder file that was left over.
Then installed via Steam again.

So we who play on console just have to deal with this blured garbage graphics?

Just a bug. will be fixxed soon probably

I “fixed” mine by completely turning AA off. It wont make it look like it did before but it helps with making the textures less blurry and washed out

Can`t tell you which AA-Methode i used in the screenshots bcs i dont remember, but they all looked pretty identical for me anyway

Yeah, from my experience, pretty much every new AA method is blurry (just like on your second picture), because they set sharpness slider all the way left as a default.

My guess is that TSR or TAA was set for you by default with sharpness all the way to left (basically turned off completely, hence the lack of sharpness)

If you don’t want to bother, just turn on SSAA to x4.

If you want to play around with it a bit to make it look better. Set AA to DLSS “Native” and play around with sharpness slider to find sweet spot.
If you have AMD card choose FSR instead of DLSS and increase sharpness just by tiiiiiny bit from the left.

I fixed mine with the PostFX settings, the main thing was the dynamic Lut and TPS sharpness. I use DLSS Native.


PS5… love the new 4k textures… Nice job

i fixed it by turning the gunner view sharpness to max in postFX setting, thats in third person wich was at tps before

PostFX sharpening no longer works for me fullstop. At least in DX12 mode.

Try turning off any AA-Methods, Sharpening in PostFX will have no effect then and the game is as sharp as it can be by default then
