Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[gllt]

Renewed my sub just to bump.
Trying to play but it's awful honestly.

Seems like there is something really wrong with graphics in patch 7.05 when now i started get massive stutter when moving camera at any direction in certain areas even the fps stays around 50-65 all the time in those areas.
This stutter cause everything look very grainy too and this could even potentially cause me eye strain

Currently by far worst stutter i get is first area of Tender Valley dungeon before the Barreltender boss, the stutter is so bad that it cause my eyes feel extrmely uncomfortable.

In patch 7.01 i didn't have this stutter problem at all.

This patch brought a constant shadow flicker to items and the edges of the screen. If I zoom in for any reason, the shadows flicker. Even if I zoom out but the camera is next to something, it'll flicker - side of the camera or items. I've tried changing the shadows options and none of them actually address the issue. This was not an issue in 7.0 or 7.01, and it hurts my eyes if it catches my eye for long. I don't know what changed, but it's really bad.

Hello, I came to also add that for me the game has become unplayable... I'm really sad, but the backgrounds and movement make me dizzy and I can't stand it much.
Also the night time somehow became TOO dark despite all my efforts on fine tune it... and it adds to my headaches/dizziness/vision problems

I had no issue playing the game for hours and hours before 7.0, and I've been trying ALL graphic settings combinations with no results

I just went to Yanxia to gather my custom deliveries since I can't do anything...

I noticed a weird blur when looking at the sky whenever I move...I'm standing in a huge patch of grass and everytime I move/or am in motion it blurs...going from sharp to blurry...?? I actually got a headache from this....

The amount of bloom in the game got ramped up as well, and you can't even disable it (pre DT disabling glare in settings fixed it but that doesn't seem to work here). Been giving heavy eye strain and headaches, borderline unplayable for me. Would be great for a setting to disable it.

This is one of my main issues. Turning off bloom would help a lot. I had it turned off before Dawntrail but now I can't do it anymore.
And yes, it was glare but it's called bloom in other games. Kind of confusing.

We need TURN OFF buttons for several things: bloom, graphics upscaling, mount tilt, wet surface effects (bring it back)!
The so-called "graphics update" is more like a graphics downgrade because we have less options now.

I'm basically just paying for a forum sub at this point.

Bump.

I don't have this issue, but +1ing for the people who do. A graphic update shouldn't be causing health concerns like eye strain, headaches, or motion sickness for so many. Please consider this issue a priority.

I have noticed the same issue today when I was gathering some materials at my Island Sanctuary. It is really perceptible in grassy fields and tree branches. When I'm moving, the leaves get really blurry and with more contrast. When I stop moving, they get more sharp but also lose some contrast, like the leaves are not casting shadows properly. It seams like the TAA is causing the Ambient occlusion to glitch somehow. It is really distracting when you intermittently mash the walking button, because the whole image kind of flicks.

Bumpity bump.
