Please Don't Force Antialiasing

Listen. I appreciate the new patch, the demogorgon changes and minor fixes, don't get me wrong... But no one is enjoying playing the game in it's blurry state. I personally play on low settings for the better visibility, and also because it's just better for my computer. It's not only my gameplay that's hindered in those forms. I genuinely feel nauseous when playing under this forced antialiasing, I've also seen similar complaints from other players, including my friends. And on top of this, some people are experiencing FPS drops which completely destroys quality of game play.

Devs, please revert this change. It's not just us as a community nitpicking, it's really making it hard for us to enjoy the game, and I know I personally do not want to get nauseous every time I play DBD because of this.

And last but not least, what are your thoughts on the new change?

EDIT: Not to mention, it's also ruining the beautiful cosmetics created for us, they all look like blurry trash right now. Some of these, I've spent near 15 dollars on. (This one's just me nitpicking tho)

EDIT 2 (READ THIS): There has been a fix to this posted, someone has posted about this, and it's completely safe and not bannable. @go1gotha made a discussion with specific instructions to this, but I will repost them here for anyone who ends up wandering onto this thread.

---------------------

We find the file engine.ini, located here - C: \ Users \ YOUR ACCOUNT NAME \ AppData \ Local \ DeadByDaylight \ Saved \ Config \ WindowsNoEditor "

Open file and paste these lines there and save:

[/Script/Engine.RendererOverrideSettings]

r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0

I repeat, it's not bannable.


EDIT 3: I added a quick guide on steam for people who would like a bit clearer of a description (even if this is already super clear)

    Oh so that's why... Now it makes sense.

    I agree completely. I play on low settings and the game has been fine for two years of my gameplay, but today's patch has made it nearly impossible to see anything and it hurts my eyes to even play. The constant blurriness makes the game unplayable and I will not be able to play until this is fixed. Please fix this!! Below is what my game looks like after the most recent patch.

    To be honest I have had far worse blurry and ugh graphics than that on Low

    Fair. Not sure how, but fair. But for most players, this is a crazy change after two years of clear sight. And now it's taken away from both sides, killers and survivors. Not only that, but my cosmetics look like crap.

    I found out my resolution was set to 100% so I set it to 0 as well, reducing the window I played in and amazingly the appearance was better. Not saying that would work for you

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try next time I'm on, but I still don't like the idea of this forced setting. I'm not, but others are getting major FPS drops because of it.

    This change is actually hilarious

    I don't know who thought this was a good idea, it is literally impossible to see survivors across the map or looking through bushes anymore, and you can't do anything about it, you can not even lower the antialiasing or desactivate the feature.

    I just made my forum account to give my feedback about this change that I find really annoying for people like me that can't afford to play on high settings.

    Please revert the change, this is awful.

    Yup.... It's horrible to play either side right now. And I'm sad for the people who can't play on Low setting anymore if it's a requirement for them to do so. For me, it's not a requirement, but the overall blurriness gives me vertigo and motion sickness. They really need to revert this change immediately. I don't think it was a good change, and I highly doubt anyone asked for it. I'd like to know the developer's reasoning behind this change.

    I suggest you to check this thread, there's a way to remove it


    But yeah, it's a terrible addition. I play on low with low resolution because my PC is old, and it was like I needed a pair of glasses just in the lobby, I didn't even tried to play in that condition.

    Thank you this fixed it, and it's good to know it's not bannable due to the file type. Though, I still am sad that they implemented forced antialiasing.

    Are you guys sure it’s not bannable? I’m so afraid to do but I’m also getting headaches everytime i play, it’s sooooo blurry

    You need to be reported in game to be banned by them, and no one can really tell that you're doing it. As for EAC, it couldn't detect when people used that script cheat to make themselves go super speed so it's not going to be banable. If they did it be really dumb because the game is super ugly to look at.
