Image is insanely oversharpened with DLSS and no sharpness slider provided

Turning on DLSS makes the image look like it came out of a photoshop sharpening filter.

It looks absolutely appalling. Everything looks grainy and surrounded by sharpening halos.

Even the game's TAA has unadjustable forced sharpening.

Look I get it. The development team really loves, loves an oversharpened image. Even BFV's TAA had the same forced sharpening.

But while all other games are now providing an adjustable slider in the options menu, These devs decided to just force a disgusting amount of sharpening for all players.

Each new update, I launch the game to see if they fixed the sharpening, and they still haven't.

    Made a post about this the other day in the general section of the forum which seemed to garner a little bit of support but I doubt anyone who works on the game browses that forum section.

    All they have to do is swap out "nvngx_dlss.dll" from the old 2.5.0 to version 2.5.1 or newer as Nvidia depreciated the sharpening filter because exactly as you said. Updating to 2.5.1 would require no work, just a .dll file swap (which we could do but the anti cheat prevents you from editing/swapping game files (I might give it a try with the new version of the anti cheat in S7, but Im sure its just as strict) Versions of DLSS 3.0 or newer would take a little work as there's a new preset "g" which needs to be compared to the old ones.

    Just to clarify I'm talking about versions of "nvngx_dlss dll" and not frame gen which is an entirely different dll.

  • The nvngx_dlss dll was updated from version 2.5.0 to version 3.1.11 last August.

    So this isn't the old DLSS built in-sharpening but a rather different sharpening pass the devs applied.

    Thats really frustrating! I really wish they would implement a sharpness slider! it really needs toning down or even just being setting it to 0 so you can use nvidia game filters overlay to apply that one if they don't want to go through the effort of making one.

  • @Rockoni Yeah. Frankly I can't get myself through a whole match while looking at something that resembles a heavily processed smartphone camera capture, with all that sharpening.
