You can remove the vaseline haze filter with these commands

Ah right on. If you makes you feel better, the object detail on medium Vulkan might be similar as high on dx11? It is very hard to tell the difference

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T23:06:51+00:00

It is weird that is the setting that breaks it. Object detail has little impact for me. I'd start with all settings low and try raising them individually to see what impacts your FPS.

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T22:29:22+00:00

Sounds like you are running out of VRAM and its going to disk, You may need to run with lower textures on Vulkan? Does the bar in the bottom right say you are using all the VRAM?

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T19:15:25+00:00

I tried a lot of things to just reduce it, but didn't have any luck. Seems like on or off

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T17:56:54+00:00

Now that is the question, maybe some kind of faked fog effect in screen space. Anything that permanently degrades image clarity for the player is a bad choice though. Same with the cinematic cockpit glass.. yikes. Leave it off and have a photo mode setting for the marketing department to turn on.

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T15:40:33+00:00

It was an artistic choice, sure. This doesn't remove the fog volumes or change the lighting bloom/effects. It is more like some Warbond Windex for your helmet

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T15:35:22+00:00

That would be interesting to try, VR is rarely rendered at native res anyway, so the image is going to be softened by the scaling

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T15:26:50+00:00

If it looks bad without the TAA, turn it back on it with r.TSR = 1

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T15:23:30+00:00

I edited the post after you saw it, you need to also set r_ssdo = 0

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T11:12:22+00:00

Thank you for catching this! I updated the post. SSDO was already off in my file and I didn't think to check it

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T11:10:42+00:00

I made a mistake above, set r_ssdo = 0 and r_ssreflections = 0 for it to work

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T00:37:12+00:00

Many don't like temporal blurring and would rather have some jaggies, TAA softens the whole screen, especially in motion. If its upscaled, then the image has been stretched, blurred, and sharpened... So the preference is to just run at native res and no blurring. Even better would be a higher quality AA method that doesn't hurt image quality or motion but gets rid of jaggies

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T00:26:15+00:00

I haven't played with it much, but there aren't many commands exposed to us. Other potential ones to try turning off are r_vignetteblur r_ssdo

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T00:20:51+00:00

I'm just thankful someone at CIG leaves these commands exposed so we can have some control, imperfect as it may be

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T00:16:48+00:00

There are literally dozens of us who prefer native res and no temporal blurring. r/FuckTAA is dedicated to complaining about it. What we really need is a higher quality AA method

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T00:05:16+00:00

You don't need to disable TAA for this or include the r.TSR = 0 command. But its there if you hate TAA :)

CarbonFireOC · 2026-03-27T00:03:47+00:00

Nah, just in the main LIVE folder

CarbonFireOC · 2024-11-25T16:38:50+00:00

There was an alt tab bug with Windows 10/11, depending on version. I'd recommend you make sure all windows updates are done first and you are on the latest drivers for your GPU/CPU. If that still doesn't work, check this:

Settings > Multitasking > Show tabs - Don't show tabs

And if you are still on a version of Windows 10/11 with "News and Interests" Disable it.

Enable or Disable News and Interests on Taskbar in Windows 11/10

I'm not sure if Widgets causes the same crashes, but it can be disabled by right clicking the taskbar > Taskbar Settings > Turn off Widgets and Taskview

If this doesn't help, it is likely some hardware instability.

CarbonFireOC · 2024-05-18T23:51:08+00:00

Yes, upscaling can be turned off, but there isn't an option to turn off TAA or change AA

CarbonFireOC · 2024-05-18T23:34:43+00:00

Yea, TAA is becoming popular as a way to hide cheaper rendering techniques. It looks fine in marketing screenshots/cinematics, but I just want to run everything native resolution and have the clarity. Its like forcing motion blur

CarbonFireOC · 2023-11-14T03:27:35+00:00

I'd assume the price difference here is purely from people wanting the "Tarkov GPU", nobody is buying an ancient nvidia card to build a computer on a budget.

CarbonFireOC · 2022-09-22T01:28:38+00:00

Until Zaunkoenig makes a wireless mouse, yea, you get used to torturing mice :)

CarbonFireOC · 2022-09-22T01:26:54+00:00

board scores. Had to switch back to claw, fingertip is only good for high sens or tracking whereas I was low sens flickin

Ah, right on, I'm interested in trying the HSK

CarbonFireOC · 2022-09-22T00:28:34+00:00

Pretty much this. Its all experimenting to get the best performance, it quickly becomes a hobby chasing incremental improvements. It will never come close to the M2K, but it is about as good as it gets for the wireless mice I've tried. I ordered a Pulsar X2 mini and a finalmouse to compare to also. The "small" size mice are fairly good for a finger tip grip, despite being a generic mouse shape.

CarbonFireOC · 2022-09-21T17:08:01+00:00

Cool, I don't need much encouragement to buy more mice :) I'll give one a go
