[508] Inconsistent VFX quality at 2560x1440

[AndreaColombo]

Some VFX appear very pixellated compared to every other VFX in the game when playing at 2560x1440.

 

TO REPRODUCE:

Load the saved game attached on a PC whose monitor's native resolution is 2560x1440, and play at that resolution.

Walk east with your party, as though heading toward Caed Nua.

Near the edge of the map, the protagonist will have a vision with two souls chained to slabs and tortured.

When the souls disappear, observe how the VFX is very pixellated (even without zoom, though zooming in will of course make it more apparent).

When I opened this thread I thought 508 was the release version but apparently I was mistaken. Looks like I cannot edit my post any longer, however.

 

Regardless, this is still an issue as of version 1.3.

Still an issue with patch 1.4.

Still an issue with patch 1.5

I would say its not limited to this soul vfx. Any effect in "far out" has minimal quality. Like the beams from heaven in the screenshot.

 

Some near fire spell effects are pixelated also.

[AndreaColombo]

Yes, some spells also have pixellated VFX. I chose the soul thing as it was quicker for me to create a reliable repro case for it, but the issue is general.

Getting the same issue playing windowed at 1920x1080, so I guess it's a case of bad compression?
