Forced Upscaling is Personally Unplayable - Literally

[DiaDeem]

I tried that for a bit but the image looked so overly sharpened it bothered me as well just in a different way.

You think? I suppose it's a matter of preference. I myself can never go back to FXAA xD

Yes please, add an option to disable dlss/fsr. The blurring they cause on any movement is really bad. It's nonsensical to not have that option.

Don't get me wrong, FXAA sucks. But I'd rather deal with jaggies than my eyes being seared out of my skull by the blurring/unblurring issue or XTREME sharpening. lol

Fair, fair.

What has given me some pause, is that you have to enable FSR (or DLSS if NVIDIA) no matter what, which is weird. Usually you only turn those on if you wanna gain frames while playing on higher resolutions, but not all computers even need that for high resolutions, and for 1080p they're almost completely useless.

Just set it to FSR and disable to checkbox for upscaling. Since FF14 uses FSR1 that handles ONLY upscaling. So when you disable upscaling FSR doesn't do anything. And since there is no antialiasing build into FSR1, you can set that to any of the available options.

Then why is there blurring all over my demonstration video, where I show at the end that I have the game set to FSR at 100% resolution?

Where's that checkbox??

Did you try setting the bar to 99?

[Aurelle_Deresnels]

Oh, yeah.

Try this:




Set your 3D Resolution Scaling bar to 99 instead of 100.

It'll be even more noticeable if you open the images on new tabs, even more noticeable if you do it in your own game, and evern more noticeable if you play in 1440p or 4K, since I'm playing at 1080p
Why is this happening? I have no idea, but don't kill your AA for the sake of some weird scaling issue.

Hope this helps someone!

I tried that and I remember it looking pretty off to me, but I didn't really investigate the details at the time. Perhaps I'll give it another go and see if I can identify what issue I had with 99% scaling.

It is weird alright. I don't think this is intended, though I know FSR1 to be kinda trash at its job. Most games use FSR2, but that would require XIV to upgrade its API to DX12 (Which apparently Yoshi-P mentioned at some point??)

Someone above mentioned a checkbox to turn off upscaling, but I can't find it. Waiting on their response...

It's not easy to see the difference between video compression stuff and blur from the game. The bitrate isn't good enough for that. Youtube doesn't even allow that.

What antialiasing setting are you using? The TSCMAA + Jitter has a temporal component, so could cause blur in motion. But note that without temporal antialiasing, you can't fix the escessive shimmering in FF.

Where's that checkbox??

I meant the dynamic resolution checkbox (that checkbox enables upscaling in certain situations). And set the resolution slider to 100. When you do those 2 things, you completely disables any upscaling. So any remaining issues have nothing to do with upscaling.
