Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[Erinellza]

It seems to be the Graphics Upscaling
set it to FSR - 100 (it disables it apparently)
Edge Smoothing (anti-aliasing) - Avoid TSCMAA that kinda introduces the weird blur effect..
Radial Blur disabled.

Switching to FSR makes everything "grainy" for me (I have an Nvidia card). It's like small vibrating pixels everywhere. It gives me a headache too so it doesn't change anything.
I'd rather endure the blur for now, I can't even play for more than an hour without getting sick, so whatever...

I also have Nvidia Geforce card... My suscription runs out soon, I'm glad I didn't purchase a full year suscription this time, it would have been a loss of money

As another person said, I don't understand how modders could potentially fix this but SE can't and don't even adress to it... I would like to avoid the use of 3rd party, but I also invested so much time and money in this game already, and I got recently a new pack of friends to play it with...

I was getting the headache from the brief flicker that happens when the game goes from 'blurry' to 'sharp' whenever you move. I thought it'd help, I'm sorry :/ I thought I'd share it regardless, I'm scared of playing now because I never got headaches from playing before, I know I wasn't a fan of flashing lights they love in raid wides and some skills but now it feels abit too much...

No worries, it might help others! Sorry if I sounded rude. I HATE how my body reacts to these graphics issues and I'm getting more frustrated every day. I'm so scared it will never get fixed...

No worries, it's a frustrating thing, but I think we're all different and there's varying degrees of strain I think..This is something I never dealt with or was diagnosed with. I know my brain doesn't appreciate bright things and strobe lights. So all this is abit new to me. I complained about visual clarity to my friends in EW how we're headed in a direction I don't like....like EW EX1 purple BG on purple floor on NEON aoes and EX2 bright yellow on bright blue with yellow aoes. It hurts to look at for an extended periods of time.

It's really upsetting, I think accessibility should be a priority especially if the game didn't really have this much of an eyestrain issue before.

If you're getting headaches from playing a game normally or just wandering around gathering in a zone, personally I'd put the game down for awhile. I do wish they would give those who are physically uncomfortable the option to switch this update off. Before the upate people I knew in game were very happy to learn they could turn off Glare for example; it's not so uncommon for people to prefer things a little less radioactive on the eyeballs.
I'm able to play the game fairly comfortably. As long as I don't play more than an hour or so. I'd rather go read a book anyway, but I'd prefer they address some of these known issues.
