Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[seraf]

Blur when I move, it gives me motion sickness. Radial blur is turned off, that setting does nothing. Day 44 of my eyes melting out of my head, send help!

Setting the resolution scaling to 99 fixes this for me. It looks sharp constantly and never blurs out.

Lucky you! FSR at 99 (or ANY other number, ANY antialiasing) makes my screen vibrate like this:

^ EPILEPSY WARNING ^

As you can see, even the horrible DLSS blur is better than this crap, lol. But they both make me sick in different ways.

I have an RTX 3060 with the latest drivers. I play games like Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Lost Ark, Genshin, Wuthering Waves, Palia, Baldur's Gate 3, Horizon Zero Dawn + Forbidden West, the Darksiders series, Tomb Raider games, etc. I do NOT have any kind of graphics issue in. any. other. game. and I did not have issues before Dawntrail at all!

Please SE, make the so-called "graphics update" optional. I am going to send vids/gifs to the accessibility team. I downloaded a recorder just for this!

Actually 2080TI here, at 99 I get this flicker whenever I move/stop, it actually gave me a headache in Yanxia. It's not like this for me though but that brief flicker is there! I never got a headache from any game, I know I likely have some kind of light sensitivity because I get disoriented by flashing lights (strobe lights) and uh...the sun is way too bright that I need to wear sunglasses or I'll get a headache.

I took a break for a month after finishing MSQ, hoping there would be some fix. I finally decided to play a bit today, and after doing a few roulettes and getting off the game, I still feel extremely sick nearly an hour later. I ended up in a Nier raid for an alliance roulette and felt as if my poor eyes and brain were about to melt in there. It's becoming unbearable with the constant eye strain, headaches, and nausea I get whenever I attempt to play. Is there still no option to disable all the excess glare, bloom, and random blurring?

It's been days since I've tried. My motivation is gone too quickly because of the fatigue when I do.

I'm starting to phase out already, got rid of 2 houses and canceled sub on 1 account (have 2)

Another day, another great chance not to be able to play FFXIV! Good times were had by all.

Better put your best foot forward, SE, because we're all really looking forward to seeing what you've got planned for that "end of August" graphics update patch. Let's not disappoint anyone, eh?

Holy Sh''. how are you playing with that? My game have absolutely nothing of the issues described in this thread but I do have a monster rig with everything turned on and maxed.

I can't even read the messages about the image (my photosensitive epilepsy is being annoying and wigging out at the image), but I understand it's from someone's game, and that's just awful. It just shouldn't be like that in anyone's game, and I know if I played with that it'd likely be a trip to the hospital (and I'd be hoping it wasn't one-way only).

I really hate to ask because it's important we show just how bad the graphics can be, but it would be lovely if you guys could just edit your posts to remove the image. Perhaps just keep it in the initial post, which makes it easier to skip past. Or just describe it rather than show it, just this one time. If you can't, I'll have to bow out of the thread for a bit, and then hope no one else includes it in a reply again!

Thanks.
