My DayZ is all cartoony, grainy, and pixelated looking

[MIDPICKED 0]

Now thanks to whoever locked my last post, that was not the answer. I am not dumb enough to leave my resoultion wrong. I have also searched for answers. Things almost have a blue shadow which made me think something to do with 3D settings but I have no idea why that would be.

This is my CFG file:

language="English";

adapter=-1;

3D_Performance=100000;

Resolution_Bpp=32;

Resolution_W=1600;

Resolution_H=900;

winX=16;

winY=32;

winW=800;

winH=600;

winDefW=800;

winDefH=600;

refresh=60;

Render_W=1600;

Render_H=900;

FSAA=2;

postFX=0;

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3;

HDRPrecision=16;

lastDeviceId="";

localVRAM=1050738688;

nonlocalVRAM=2147483647;

vsync=0;

ssaoEnabled=0;

AToC=15;

SWLayersCount=96;

PipQuality=3;

PPAA=2;

Windowed=0;

 

I see 3D performance in there, so is that something that is doing it?

Thanks

Um, I have no idea what oyu are talking about, maybe a screenshot would help?

This may help performance

 

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1;

 

SWLayersCount=64;

I think you may find that GPU_MaxFramesAhead is way too high and is causing some degradation of your video. Changing the values to 1 for both GPU settings will help and your FPS will probably be better if you lowered the detail level of the clouds as well.

 

 SWLayersCount= Cloud detail level      0, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128

 

Remember to always make a copy of your files before editing them and it may be preferable to use Notepad++ from http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ (it is free and works wonderfully for other files as well).

After editing your files you may find it advantageous to make them Read Only so the game client doesnt alter them. You can change settings while playing but these changes you make ingame will not be saved so that when you restart the game the settings are RESET to the Read Only file you have edited. Effectively with Read Only config files you can mess about with the settings ingame and everything will be back the way it was as per the file you have edited when you restart the game.
