ULQ on max settings / UHQ textures not working

This is with max settings, hi-res packs on the PC.


This is from 1 year ago and now on a different computer on medium settings.

Verifying files does not work.
Reinstalling does not work.
Changing graphic settings to minimum to prompt restart and then repeating restart by changing to max settings does not work.
Deleting and changing the config file does not work.

Both computers have the game running on 980 Pro.

This has been happening approximately 2 months ago, where the game turned into looking like ULQ despite settings on maximum.

To my knowledge, nobody but one person I know has the same issue.

July, same settings. Looks fine.

Here is September with same settings.


Why is my PC forced into playing ULQ when everything is at max?

renderer3:t=“dx12”
driver:t=“dx12”
in your config file. delete everything inside cache.

Did all that work for you?

i think what i did here fixed high quality textures but it stuttered like crazy. at some point in the future, it was fixed by default with dx11.

the post you forwarded this thread into is about no ocean waves, right? its a recent bug.
the only thing i would suggest is removing TAA or DLSS and running SSAA 2x because otherwise this game is a blurry mess and there is no other option, though only if you can run it.

Not just the ocean, the main problem is the graphics, i have everything at max but its blurry and have no comparison from past screensonts

now

Then

from the screenshots you posted, you are using DLSS or TAA which turn the game into a blurfest. the only somewhat acceptable DLSS is 4k Quality because it renders at (I believe) 2560x1440. other than that, this game has severe LOD issues and theres nothing that can be done about it.
