Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[Anarnee]

Just came back to give this a bump. I'm taking a sabbatical in a pet game and the support in that game has been leaps and bounds better.

It's not exactly engaging, but at least it's not making me sick. I cannot express how disappointed I am with XIV right now.

moved in to a new place and my couch is way closer to the TV now. the graphics things that were tolerable from a further distance are NOT great now that I have to sit closer, especially the motion blur in the background. really don't know why they implemented that.

While I myself am not suffering from eye strain, I agree that bloom/glare is WAY overtuned right now. Characters with pale skin quite literally glow in direct sunlight, to the point where you can't make out facial features. The shoddy anti aliasing doesn't help either.

Well gonna bump this even tho I doubt SE will do anything at this point given their absolute radio silence on this specific topic...

Hard to believe it's been almost 3 months. Getting some high expectations for 7.1 and to a lesser extent, the up-coming live letter.

What do you figure the chances of being disappointed are

[poooman]

its almost certain to happen unfortunately </3

Bumpety-Boop!


And back to playing other games where I don't have to develop a serious painkiller addiction to play.

Kinda regret getting Dawntrail but oh well...See you on the next bump?

The only expectation I have for the live letter and 7.1 is disappointment. I don't expect this to be a priority, especially with all the time they're going to spend trying to diffuse the Wuk Lamat discourse and all the other gripes about the graphical update.

Appreciate those of you still coming around to bump the thread though.

And the strange thing is, these issues are propably not hard to fix. The game engine has a pixel jitter problem. Pixel jittering is not reliably applied and this produces very strange results. TAA and TAA-based anti aliasing methods need pixel jittering to work correctly. It seems to me, that they use FXAA to determinate the pixels, which should be jittered instead of jitter everything.

And the second thing is, many moving objects produce ghosting effects. Which implies, that the engine does not provide any motion vectors/velocity buffers or those motion vectors are completely wrong. And they rely on the optical flow engine, which is included in DLSS. But optical flow engines are very subpar compared to real correct motion vectors.

Boop-time! I mean Bump-time!
Gonna use my sub at least for something so its not entirely wasted. :')
