Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[faiarrow]

Mount tilt on/off toggle!
One (1) accessibility option actually enacted upon from feedback!!!!

(Please dear gods fix the bloom and jitters and everything else as well SQEX)

No word about the eye strain issues yet again tho the game seemed less blurry on stream than it is now, not sure if this is due to yt compression so can't say for sure. At least they're addressing the vomit inducing mount tilt and add a toggle to turn it off.
Overall tho dunno...it still feels like this issue is ignored on purpose with all the radio silence on it. The bug reports regarding the blur and also ghosting are also still marked as "cofirmed/planning to address":

Actually...I wonder if they're even aware of this issue at all, given its already November.

A disappointing but not unexpected no mention in the LL

The issues raised here are going to be fixed in a week right Square?




Right Square??

I joined the forum just to post here (SE support was useless). I've been suffering from eye strain and headaches since Dawntrail. Feeling physical pain while playing a video game is not okay. I never had these issues before the graphics update.

The option to turn off mount tilt in 7.1 is a step in the right direction but it's not enough! We used to be able to turn off bloom (as a part of glare) and wet surface effects but they removed these settings. I want them back, I always turn off bloom in every game, my poor eyes are not compatible with glowing, bright lights. The rain and wet surfaces are downright nauseating in this game. I also want to turn off graphics upscaling because it makes everything blurry, especially when I move. Forced graphics settings in 2024 sound like a bad joke, and yet here we are.

Preliminary patch notes are out, not a single mention of eye strain issues. :^) Instead they're pushing the entire stuff onto the arr regions. The 2 bug reports I linked in an earlier post are also still marked as "confirmed/planning to address" so no changes on that part either it seems. Doubt there is even any point in doing the alliance raid given it will most likely have the same problems like M1-M4 with overtuned effects, blur and other bs.
Shouldn't have preordered DT and put the money into other games tbf...

I guess I'm just delusional at this point but I'll check the settings in 7.1 asap. They removed this in 7.0, then re-added it in 7.01 and it wasn't in the patch notes if I remember correctly. So I'm still sniffing that hopium, lol.

We'll see, but I have given up hope tbh. They had months to fix it with enough feedback, yet nothing happened and some bug reports were instantly smashed as "working as intended", at least in the english section...
Maybe I am wrong and we will indeed see an improvement, but I am doubting it...

It was never going to get fixed before 7.1, I didn't think for a moment that it would be at least, but what worries me is they've just not acknowledged it at all so it just seems like their stance is everything is as intended.

Anisotropic filtering is not the problem. The problems are way too slow and incomplete camera jittering and propably missing motion vectors. Both causes a very blurry image and ghost effects.
