Hi there! Is there any way to deactivate it? All the super graphic definition goes down the pipe and my eyes bleed. Unplayable…
When I move my character the background becomes blurry to the point of not being able to make out items, and I feel like I need a new pair of glasses. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
There is no motion blur setting in D2:R. It sounds more likely that your graphics card is struggling to play the game.
Options → Video:
The background becoming low quality is very likely due to the Dynamic Resolution Scaling option being turned ON.
Try turning down the other detail settings to help boost your frames per second. You can try going through the “Graphics Preset” options.
Set a framerate target of 60.
If you happen to be playing on a monitor with a resolution above 1920x1080, try lowering the in game resolution to 1920x1080 or lower.
I know its not literaly “motion blur”, it is like it… And I have no graphics problem. It is the game engine…, I dont know why its still working like en 1990
Did you even try any of the things DarkJedi suggested?
He made those suggestions for a reason. You aren’t the first person who has had this problem.
I always found motion blur to be a hilarious option.
Hi yes, I’d like to spend an exorbitant amount of money on the fastest 1ms response time or quicker monitor you have…
Yes motion blur on please, I want to see ghosting on the software side like a real man of culture.
There’s literally only a handful of games where motion blur ever looked good. No one I know ever leaves it on.
Edit: Also, there is no motion blur in D2R that I know about. Make sure your don’t have some sort of dynamic resolution scaling set to maintain some sort of frame rate, it’ll attempt to upscale it from a lower resolution and make it horribly blurry. (Don’t know if you have that problem, but it’s a possibility.)
Motion Blur is usually an option set in the firmware menus of your monitor.

if everything moves fluidly still but you get blur its not your vidya card its your monitor
Obviously try lowering the graphics to the minimum.
I remember having the same problem in diablo 2 classic, and I assumed it was the nature of the game and not an “effect”.
It’s not a fps issue, because the character looks perfectly sharp and animated,
while it’s the background that becomes a cloudy blur while the character looks perfectly.
It seems to me that they are not aware of this or perhaps there is a strange reason that makes this appear.
But from what I have observed in professional streamers it is part of the nature of the game, which I find incredible that you have not corrected this terrible defect that was already in the classic Diablo 2.
I also find it incredible that people don’t notice or complain about it.
The only time I’ve seen the background become low quality is when Dynamic Resolution Scaling was turned on, otherwise everything looks fine.
If you are sure that it isn’t your system/graphics card, the next thing is your monitor. Does it happen more in darker areas? Try playing around with the contrast and brightness settings of your monitor. As others have said, check for and disable any post processing settings on your monitor. The two common post processing options on televisions and monitors are 1: motion blurring and 2: motion smoothing, or “soap opera mode”.
Lastly, if none of the above works, maybe your eyeballs are playing tricks on you… 
id check the monitor settings menu see if you got a “response time” setting.
mine’s got “normal” , “fast” and “fastest”.
fast looks good but fastest has color distortions around sharp edges in movement and normal has some kind of blur effect in movement.
worth checking out i guess.
id also try the different antialiasing options if youre not simply using dlss-quality. some image based antialiasing methods can cause a blurry look.
Maybe it’s my monitor. But I doubt it. I see the same “effect” on every stream I watch. And it is in the only game that has happened to me. My monitor does not have speed options. It seems to me that you simply do not notice it, but surely you have the same phenomenon in front of your eyes. Because it seems to be part of the graphics engine.
Where it is most notorious is the scenery’s fire, torches, bonfires, etc., move in front of them and tell me if the flames are as clear as if you dont move.
If you’re using DLSS then it makes the game noticeably blurry, I turned my sharpness up to 25 or so to counter it.
staring at all the flames in act4 town running around it all stays very crisp. cant notice any “trailing” or “blur”. i wouldnt use streams to compare as they all use some compression algorithm im pretty sure.
it’s possible that it’s something you notice more than other ppl. for example i find the fullscreen minimap to be unfluid compared to the rest of the game but i never see anyone talking about it.
id still try to find a friend with a recent quality-monitor to borrow - to test if it changes anything. and maybe get a new one if it does.
what is your monitor btw?
My monitor is kind of old. It does not have HDR. I use an i7 and a GTX1080. The monitor is a Samsung UN40KU6000GCZB. But I insist, I doubt that it is something related to hardware or software.
thats a smart tv, not really a gaming monitor. its response time is about ~18times slower than the average gaming monitor as well.
i’d really try to borrow a gaming monitor just to test one time. just in case it fixes everything. nothing to lose.

Go into the televisions features and turn the ones marked in bold OFF, as they all involve some sort of processing that the television has to do which could distort the image or increase display lag. See if that helps.
Ty. Thats truth. But 18 times? Its a 29hz TV, its like 30 fps. And as I’ve said before, it’s never happened to me before, using it for gaming hard for years.
