Blurry map-related graphics (cliffs, trees, explosion craters, ore/tiberium)

However, I have tested this issue further and found out that, indeed, this issue is connected to what GPU you're using.

The images above were taken when my laptop was using the integrated GPU for the game. I've tested this using MSI Afterburner to see what GPU was being used and, indeed, the issue happened again in both games.

I've then fiddled a little with Windows 10 options and have manged to get the Remastered Collection to use my dedicated GPU card. And, lo and behold, all map-related assets now look fine. There's still some blurriness but it's barely noticeable even at max zoom at my resolution, which means it's good enough and nowhere near as annoying as before. It sounds like to me that the game has some sort of automatic process that based on the capabilities of the currently used GPU decides which quality of the assets it will use for the gameplay.

This makes sense all things considered, but still, I would have liked the option to choose what quality I want rather than having the game decide for myself; at least now I know how it works. Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn both display with improved map graphics when I'm using the dedicated GPU, and this remained consistent for the few hours of campaign, skirmish and quickmatches that I've played until now.

The only other issue I got was a skirmish game where there were no gpx displayed in Remastered mode (no smoke, no flames, no projectile trails, no tank shell explosion, no corpses in Red Alert, absolutely no effect whatsoever). I have the game saved and it's a 8 player skirmish match where I got low frame rate, so at first I guessed that it was a problem due to my low end hardware, but testing on a different map the issue didn't happen again: despite still getting low fps due to the large map and amount of AI players and units, all gpx and other effects displayed correctly. It also didn't happen again when starting a second skirmish with 8 players on the same map, but it does show up again when loading the save game for that bugged match. It does sound like this one is unrelated to the blurry game map issue.
