it'll decrease performance but if you want better anti aliasing than the medium setting and no ghosting, I suggest forcing anti aliasing in the nvidia control panel to 2x or 4x. There is a probably an amd equivalent in their settings too for anyone on amd.

Great point. Medium AA actually looked just fine for me with how I have my system and settings but for anyone that is getting jaggies and would like to up it, this is the proper way to do it. +1

On Xbox it is like a blurry long tail beyond the wheels, Is there a way to fix it in the settings?
@WatsonatorTV4 ай бұрын
Hey there, I haven't had any experience with the game on Xbox so I can't say for certain but I have heard that trying some of these settings can affect slow down and sometimes the motion blur also. I will say though, these settings were from a couple of years ago and I'm not sure if they even still exist so take all of this with a grain of salt: Xbox Users try these steps: -Disable everything under Experimental settings including: -Skater Physical Animations -Caspers, Primos, Grabs -City Life off and density down to zero -Under Day/Night settings turn off Simulate Clouds and turn cloud coverage down to zero -Turn on performance mode -Turn off V-sync That may or may not help but it is worth a shot. Sorry in advance if it doesn't do anything.
@toastbrot972 жыл бұрын
Ambient occlusion is unlikely to cause any form of ghosting articffacts. It's a spatial screenspace effect that creats contact shadows. Disabling that is gonna make your entire game look a lot flatter since it removes almost all kinds of indirect shadows. Biggest culprit for the ghosting is like you have correctly identified, the anti aliasing implementation. All settings above medium use a so called "temporal anti aliasing" (short TAA) method, which uses motion vectors and temporal information to reconstruct the image, which can cause smearing/ghosting on moving objects. So if you don't want ghosting, change anti aliasing to medium or lower, i think it uses fxaa which is faster, but also less effective for getting rid of jaggies. Also 3:52 of course you're getting better frames, you just disabled all contact shadows from the game. Not worth it for the frames gained imo. Just lower the graphics settings if you're not getting the desired framerate. Scaling down some effects is gonna make the game less ugly than disabling certain effects completely.
@WatsonatorTV2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the info and input, you definitely know your stuff! And yes, like I say the motion blur and AA are the major causes for the ghosting issue and I specifically said medium or lower for AA like you mention because it changes the type of anti-aliasing. I include ambient occlusion in this video also because TONS of people are experiencing horrible FPS drops after the most recent update and this definitely helps. Most people will take ANY FPS gains they can get at the cost of whatever setting just to be able to play it. I mention which lines are for which setting so people can choose to disable what they prefer, or none at all. So yeah it was sort of a two part video, fix FPS AND ghosting, or just one of the two. I am just playing the messenger here, passing on what I have found to work for me and what I think looks good. In my personal situation though, I disagree about it not being worth it for the frames gained. I actually think it looks BETTER after disabling it (regardless of the frames), but to each their own. I often disable motion blur, ambient occlusion, and sometimes lower AA in other games too, just my preference (maybe I'm crazy). Thank you for all of the information though, it explains everything deeper than I wanted to go into with this video but it's a great comment to highlight here since I'm clearly not the expert in this category xD Cheers!

@@WatsonatorTV Interesting. For me the game is running better than it used to funnily enough :D maybe that was some driver or something that fixed it on my end, who knows. But yea, i'm very familiar that many people despise motion blur. I personally love it, but like you said, each their own. Though that being said, poeple disiking ambient occulsion is something new to me, but again, who am i to judge :D But yea, this whole ghosting thing was a problem ever since the game existed and lowering AA to medium was always my suggested fix. And also as a side note, the newer versions of unreal engine use better implementations for both motion blur and temporal anti aliasing with less ghosting artiffacts. I'm pretty sure sessions uses the newer version too, which makes me wonder why they haven't switched over to the newer effects yet. Probbaly because they're still useing theyr old code base and it's not on their priority list yet. But for the future, there's a good chance that that will be a none issue! :D

@WatsonatorTV2 жыл бұрын
Odd. So you definitely have "show hidden items" checked and you can see your AppData>Local folder but its just not within that? are there other games in that folder? Also, maybe try doing a windows system search for "sessiongame" just to see where that folder exists. It HAS to be somewhere if your settings and saves are staying the same and not reverting back to default every time.

If you are definitely on Windows and you have the box ticked at the top to "show all hidden folders" I'm not sure why it's not coming up. The Windows system search will also come up blank if you don't have that box checked. I will continue to think about this but it's definitely weird because the game should work the same way for everyone. It's not like some people will have their folders in different places just for the heck of it. Also it NEEDS this folder to function so those files definitely have to be SOMEWHERE. I will let you know if I think of anything else. sorry I wasn't more help.

Hey there, sorry for the trouble but I believe that some of this information might be out of date due to it being released during the early access, before the official release of the game. I just checked my WindowsNoEditor folder also and it no longer has the engine.ini I did locate a file called UserEngine.ini that is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Session\SessionGame\Config\UserEngine.ini You could try to put the same text into this file instead and see if it works. Since it is just a settings ini file, it won't hurt anything if it doesn't end up working. I will likely be playing some Session in the near future so I will let you know if I figure anything out.

Hmmm. Are you positive you are in This PC > Local Disc C > Users > YourName > AppData > Local > SessionGame > Saved > WindowsNoEditor? Because if you are in the WindowsNoEditor folder that is correct, every single file that is inside WindowsNoEditor is actually a ".ini" type of file. So if you are positive you are in this folder it is possible that you just don't have your file extensions listed. You can change the view to see file extensions by hitting view and then checking the "show file extensions" box. If you right click the file and open with notepad it should still work if it is indeed the right place. Now I know there is ANOTHER FOLDER (not file but a folder) within your session folder in steam that is called Engine, this is NOT the correct place. Other than that I can't think of anything else it could get confused with. it is likely that the file extensions just weren't on and you were in the correct place :D
