Blurry Textures on Vanilla & Vulkan Framerate Issues!

So your textures look blurry and ya don't know why and your fps seems lower than last time played, and your using AMD hardware to play… Then I have a fix… I play at 4k and found on Vulkan my FPS was really low and the textures we're blurrier than I was used to like the pixels were crossblending or something!

3 changes will fix this issue

-First and foremost turn off the games internal Anti-Aliasing it will increase your FPS a little and may improve texture memory too…

-Secondly go to your graphics software and turn on Anisotropic Filtering and set to x16 and your Filtering quality to High and turn on Surface Optimization finally Radeon image sharpening set to 90-100%!

-Thirdly when you start the game start it in normal mode instead of using Vulkan I found out of the blue while the reverse used to be true it seems i'm now getting better FPS in non vulkan… and secondly the Radeon Surface Optimisation swaps textures with higher Texture Clarity ones so the pixels are sharp and don't blend like a bad oil painting… for some reason anistropic just doesn't work in vulkan mode!

​

Heres the result! it's a subtle differences but if you look at the front of the wheelbarrow it is noticeable and as a whole it makes everything look crisper and when your playing it makes all the difference… I struggle with my depth perception sometimes so blurry textures and none sharp edges don't help in a game that already has a 128x texture resolution –

Left Side is vulkan Right side is the texture filtering & sharpness filter!

Vulkan Left and then Anisotropic Right!
