Since launch I have noticed pixelation around the edges of objects, hair & armour, these issues seem more apparent whilst direct light or movement is present. I am using HDR so that could potentially be the problem? ( I am unsure as to whether or not others without HDR are affected) Turning down the…

I am having the same issue. It is so annoying!

The game looks beautiful but the pixelation issues sadly detract from the visuals.

If possible, could you attach some images of the pixelation issues you are experiencing. It might help.

I wanted to do some further testing to ensure that it wasn’t just a HDR issue and that others using SDR have the same problem. For my test I replayed the opening of the game and the example I will be using is the Odessa cutscene. The first 2 screenshots for both SDR & HDR are from this very cutscen…

Exactly the same issues I’ve encountered. Must have noticed all these since launch, could be placebo but they seem to have been exacerbated due to some update. I don’t remember the water looking so pixelated back then. In my case playing with sharpness doesn’t change the artifacting/pixelation, but…

I promised to revisit this thread in hope that Patch 2 brought a fix to the pixelation issues that have been present since launch; sadly, the issue is far from fixed and in some cases seem worse?

I advise that you read my post, as the points you mentioned have already been addressed/noted. Thank you for sharing your experience; it reinforces the validity of my post.

Maybe this makes it easier to see than pictures and text.

In Witchfire (and other games) to fix the checkerboard rendering graphical artifacts of transparent textures you need to enable a temporal-based anti-aliasing (DLSS is also counted as it):

However, in No Rest For The Wicked it still does not work.
