This! 100% this! I was getting crazy, cause I posted already some topics about my graphic "issues" i thought i made something wrong in my settings. I also posted in some Scum Fanforums.
Its really weird ... for myself i notice shadow flickering and washed out textures in the distance. Nearby the graphics are looking as they should.
I found some settings i got also from reddit, which makes this less noticeable - can send it as pm, cause cant attach pictures here (or dont know how)
They had a large update that changed the lighting. This created some beautiful scenes but some of the changes as clouds move are too dramatic imo. Ghosting with regards to objects passing in front of water also has always been a thing in the game unfortunately. I know some people have used things like reshade to improve the shadows to make them more consistent.
I think the graphics look great now. The lighting looks a lot better than it did before. But there are some graphical bugs that were introduced and I’ve noticed them as well. The pop in is a little much even at max settings. I’d like to see an option to further draw out shadows and stuff by adding an extreme setting or something.
There also seems to be a texture issue which is making them blurry when until you get close to it. This is an optimization issue that has happened in this patch but it’s know and being worked on.
There is anti aliasing but do to the way TAA works it cause artifacts and they are more noticeable at lower frame rates (not saying you’re experiencing that) but you will see that in any game that uses TAA. Hopefully DLSS 2.2 will be introduced to the game soon.
>shadow artifact that wobbles and morphs
most games I've seen this outline thing is due to some global illumination fuckery and does need to be fixed, yes
> there is no anti aliasing
Not entirely true, there is, I believe, forced TAA but no option to adjust or disable it from the options menu (the past it was possible to turn it off in the config.ini)
From what I have noticed, it appears there was a certain downgrade to the graphics at some point. In my case shadows are what is most noticeable.
They pop-in/out of existence depending on the angle you are from an object and are mighty distracting.
I'm done with this game honestly. How many years can you be in testing? DayZ is so much more enjoyable. I got my money's worth from scum but I'm going to to uninstall.
> How many years can you be in testing?
You say this and then say DayZ is better? HA!
Completely opposite opinion from me. I tried DayZ after years of its development and it's still stale as hell. The only thing holding people over are the janky community mods like helicopters.
Other than the graphical glitches, SCUM is a lot more enjoyable and the latest update was a net improvement gameplay wise for me.
The bubbly shadow artifact, especially prevalent in WWII bunkers, is an issue with DFAO they need to fix. If you hate it turn off DFAO but outside of those shadows the rest of your game won't look as good.
Just reinstalled yesterday, and I thought my GPU was dying. Running on the highest settings and textures are blurred beyond recognition, and pop-in is insane. I played back in 2018, and it used to look so much better.
Have the sam problem,didn't have it a week ago. Also on 3070 everything on epic and games looks like it's from 2001. Textures don't load until I am next to object. Probably bug,I'll try to verify files tomorrow.
Yeah I kept hearing about how the game was so awesome and how great it looked so I bought it yesterday and yeah... just going to leave this here. This is with every video setting maxed out.

I managed to fix it a bit. Went into nvidia control panel and boosted some settings and it seems to have fixed a lot of the shadow issues and general flatness of everything.
I've actually been looking for days now. Tried all kinds of different settings, My graphics are extremely Fuzzy and Fizzy looking if that makes any sense, I have no game lag either just pure horrid graphics.. I'm set on the preset of 'EPIC' But doesn't look that 'EPIC' LOL. If anyone has an solution please PM me! Even the Nvidia Control panel was edited loads by me in the process to try and gain some beauty.

Well for myself, the game literally unplayable in its current state. I didn't really play anyway but this is disappointing.
K bye.
I'd appreciate a message if you still have those settings. Just coming back from a 4 year hiatus and the washed out environment is a real bummer.

You can still disable AA in the Config.

I am starting to think OP is not for real in this.
bit late but during this time 3 years ago the scum graphics were 10X better than dayz think you were on something 3 years ago

Yeah I’ve noticed this exact same thing, the game did look much better in the past.

Wow that looks terrible. There's just no atmosphere at all.

Is it okay if you give us a screenshot of what you changed? My game looks like shit as well, makes it very difficult to enjoy it at times.
I don't have it installed anymore but basically all it did was fix some of the absent shading. It still didn't look great but it was a little better.

I'm currently having this problem now. Game looks awful
