Anyway to remove the "blur" around the edges of the screen?

It looks like the graphic around the edges of the screen are kinda blurry or something. I tried different option but cannot seem to remove this effect?

It gives a really annoying feeling

funniest part is that it overlaps the characters face on the select screen.

I can’t seem to replicate this.

Mine looks fine, zoomed out or zoomed in. Now there are perspective blurs behind the character. I have wings equipped and when zoomed in they blur behind the character.

But I haven’t seen this effect in game, will have to check next time I play. I just don’t have time at the moment. But there are perspective blurs when zoomed in that may present.

Yep I am not the only one that is noticing this:
[This visual blur effect is distracting and causing eye strain]

If you walk to the stuff you notice having this to more to the middle the objects get crispy clear again. And then walk away to place it to the edge poef there is the blur effect.

This effect wasn’t there before the expansion.

Have any of you actually looked to see if there is a perspective option and whether there’s a blurring feature? As I said I’m not back where I can check this at the moment.

Okay.

After looking at it once I got back home:

Yes its blurring around the edges, but I can’t honestly remember if it was doing it before. It certainly doesn’t bother me personally, and till now I didn’t even see it.

But not sure if its intended or not.

I looked over the settings, only two things could affect it that I know of. One is view distance, though it didn’t seem to do anything, the other setting is Distortion. But that seemed to make it more grainy? than anything. It didn’t remove the blur but it lessened it… somewhat.

No idea. Not a problem for me, but I’m sure it will bug the hell out of some of you.

It looks like there are two creative choices to contend with here.

As you rightly said, Axejess, the blurring towards the edge of screen is way too strong - I’m seeing a triple image in high contrast areas that doesn’t look good.

For me, the depth-of-field blurring on the Character and Wardrobe screens is more of a problem. It’s really bad on the Wardrobe screen - only a tiny amount of the character is ever ā€˜in focus’.

just replying here to say this bothers me as well and would like an option to turn off this blur.
spent way too long trying to configure settings to get rid of it since something felt off.

I even spent time looking through the LocalPrefs file looking for something that may relate to it, and nadda. Or at least nothing that stood out to me that may help.

But I only looked to see if it would help some of you. Myself, it doesn’t bother me. I asked my dad about his experience with the game today when I was visiting. He said it hasn’t been crashing and he never really noticed the blur either, and looking at it, he was like its no big deal for him anyway.

He plays on an HP Omen, with a 9th (or 10th) gen i7 and an RTX 2060 as a laptop. He lives a short way down the road from my place, and actually shares my internet connection, so he plays over the Starlink that I have. (we have an outside of the norm network here)

The blurring at the sides of my screen (especially on ultrawide) is really noticeable, and makes my eyes/head hurt after a while.

Blizzard please fix this blur it’s very distracting and uncomfortable to look at. Should probably go under the existing ā€œDistractionsā€ in Graphics settings.

ALT+F4 and blur is gone! :smiley:

(don’t try this at home)

Actually was on my dad’s laptop last night going over some game things…

His was… Really badly blurred at the character select menu. Like… Awful. In game it wasn’t so bad, but wow.

If its like that for some in-game too, I can see why they would be having issues.

Here is a question:

What resolution are those of you seeing the blurring running at?

Mine is at 1440p, with high res packs and max quality settings, its barely noticeable. What resolution, are you using res packs and what quality levels are you running? Just curious.

Disable resolution scaling/DLSS

Someone at Blizz threw on an aberration screen effect which blurs edges. I get made dizzy when messing around in the wardrobe now… They REALLY need an option to disable this!

I’m on a 42" 4K screen and it’s insanely bad. To the point where my eyes feel cross eyed just looking at it for a few seconds.

Try disabling DLSS/FSR/Resolution Scaling

resolution scaling would make the entire screen blurry, not just the outer edges.

The effect people are seeing is called Chromatic Aberration. Its an awful effect that is supposed to mimic super old camera’s. Why it was added to D4 (or any game for that matter) is just one more unexplained blunder of the world.

I guess for me, its not really a problem. I barely notice it, but then I’m only running a standard aspect 32" curved screen with HDR.

I would suspect an ultrawide format would look a lot more horrible on the left and right sides.

idk man. I had this exact issue and it was resolved by disabling DLSS
