Chivalry 2 – Guide to Blurry Image Fixes

How to Fix Blurry Images

Introduction

I have played many Unreal 4 Engine games. Chivalry 2 is by far one of the worst culprits in terms of having a blurry image.

I have done a number of configurations of Anti-Aliasing + DLSS to no avail. It also appears DLSS sharpening is not available.

I have two solutions, one for lower end PCs and one for Higher.

How-To

Before the two options, there is something I recommend doing;

Head over to

  • C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Chivalry 2\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
  • Open Engine.ini

at the bottom, copy and paste the following

[SystemSettings]
r.MaxAnisotropy=16
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0

This will do the following

  • Force maximum anisotropy
  • Disable any Vignette
  • Disable any depth of field
  • Disable any film grain
  • Disable any motion blur

Low End Fix: Sharpening

  • Add the following line to the above section.
  • After the = you can put a number between 1.0 – 10.0
  • Around 4 is a sweetspot.
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1

High End Fix: DSR

Instead of sharpening, add the line:

r.PostProcessAAQuality=0

This will completely disable Anti-Aliasing. You will then need to ensure you have set up DSR on your PC to enable you to select higher resolutions than you native to then downsample.

So in game, change the resolution to 1-2 resolutions above your screen native.

Im using 1440P 2560×1440 so ive changed mine to 3413×1920.

Using DSR and the bump in resolution will sharpen the image.

Im using an RTX 3080 with the game running in DX12 mode, I average 90-100 FPS using this higher end solution and now the image is blur free.
