Question Strange visual impact in video games
Hello! This appears to be a graphical "noise" effect, often seen in newer games. It's typically caused by the game engine, especially in darker areas where lighting and shadows play a key role. Factors like ambient occlusion, anti-aliasing, and lower resolutions can contribute to this issue. Could you tell me about your graphics settings? Adjusting them might help reduce these problems.
You might want to try turning on Direct Lighting and setting Denoising Quality to High. The same applies to Path Traced Indirect Lighting, though it may affect performance. It's still worth a shot. Unfortunately, I lack a powerful GPU to test the game directly, but I'll do my best to assist. Additionally, based on your performance results, you could consider enabling virtual super resolution (AMD Driver) to run the game at 1440p, which might also help reduce noise.
The issue vanishes when adjusting Path Traced Indirect Lighting to low, medium, or high settings (low causes excessive blur). However, once that's done, FPS drops significantly from 70 to 15-20. Super Resolution only improves performance when set to 4K. It seems the main concern lies with FSR, which I can't switch to another anti-aliasing method.
Yeah, ray tracing is quite intensive. I was considering using FSR, but it can't be turned off in the usual manner. The anti-aliasing feature is triggered at the same time as FSR, meaning that if you disable anti-aliasing, FSR should also be affected. I found these instructions on PCGamingWiki:
Go to the configuration file(s) location
AppData/Local/Remedy/Alan wake 2/Renderer.ini
Open renderer.ini with a text editor.
Change the following lines:
"m_eSSAAMethod": 0
For the sharpening filter, set "m_fSSAASharpening": 0.0
Save the file and close it
If you adjust your graphics settings again, the file might be rewritten, so try tweaking them and then mark it as Read-Only. Let me know what happens.
Tried it with 0 and 1 (i think 1 was FXAA?). But this flickering is still here. And heres screenshot without AA and with FXAA(?)
It's clear without AA things are worsening a lot, but with FXAA (?) they're improving, though still blurry.
