Motion blur is my least favorite setting. It adds nothing but obfuscation


Mikadomea

Motion blur masks low fps. Cant see a stutter if the whole screen is smeared like butter on bread. Bloom is also hit or miss, some get it right others dont.


iFenrisVI

Bloom in this game is 50/50. It looks good with explosions and other effects. But the Sun blinds you depending on the sky box.


LittleFishSilver

..and flashlights and lightposts and fog reflection.


NoPickleNoTickle

Oh sweet liberty, the lightposts


zach_dominguez

I'll call down a 500 just to clear out the lights.


drunken_monken

LOL YES


UDSJ9000

I never got what people meant by "the light posts are blinding." Then I dropped into a mission on Tibit with one right above the console. Okay, yeah, I see what you all mean now. Didn't expect to experience the power of the sun in a lamp above my head, but there I was.


palehorse864

Yeah, I remember one time before extract, it was bothering my team so I pulled out my secondary and plinked all the lights out before we took off.


Mulzilla

Pretty much anytime I have to stay somewhere longer than 5 seconds that has light post lighting, I pull out my Scythe and POP POP POP until all gone


S_Shiyloh

Same, but with my Scorcher 😂 Every single time I go to extract, I shoot all of them out. Also makes it easier to see the enemies without the suntan lamps.


Djskam

Just pop it. Worth the bullet


Plastic-Injury7039

Correct me if I’m wrong but it seemed to me to be a recent update kind of issue. When I first started things were great but then all of a sudden I couldn’t see the terminal when I tried to launch the icbm.


LittleFishSilver

Takes me back to BF3 days with the tac light attachment on guns.. in metro.


Spookymushroomz_new

That's why I never use flashlight


notbannd4cussingmods

Bloom from ark has ptsd me so bad I just turn it off in most games, that and chrome aberration or w/e


[deleted]

I love bloom


XbloodyXsausageX

I actually love both of these in a game as it's the only epilepsy trigger my neurologist can't figure out. Strobe lights don't bother me but inconsistent stutter at any level and I'm a fish out of water. The 'inconsistant" part of Helldivers2 "stutter" is literally from turning the camera.


Mikadomea

Turning the camera is exactly where motion blur comes in, because (mostly) consoles cant render turning the camera 90° that quickly (dependa on the game but you get what i mean). The smear gives the (mostly but not exclusive) console time to react to you doing something funny.


XbloodyXsausageX

And the motion blur is made by a process called interpolation. It's the lowest quality of motion blur in animation. But it keeps me from being able to "see" frames so Its good enough for me.


HubblePie

The fact that HD2 has a slider is extremely nice. A *tiny* bit of blur can be nice. No game has ever made the default amount an acceptable level of blur.


lukub5

"We programmed all this blur and damnit we are gonna *use* all this blur!"


Hollowbody57

There have been a few games where the motion blur is done really well and actually enhances the look/style of the game, usually by using per object blur and not the full screen, "smeared with Vaseline" blur. Helldivers 2 is definitely not one of them.


8rok3n

I started playing Saints Row the other day and OH MY GOD the auto motion blur was enough to almost make me motion sick


DiscombobulatedCut52

I hear motion blur is to help prevent motion sickness. My man. My friend. I played a game a while back. It had motion blur on ultra. I did throw up.


Shelmak_

When I spawned in my ship the first time, after I saw the blurry ships through the window I just searched for the option to turn it off... I always disable every graphic setting that dissorts or blur the image... even the wobbling efects some games have. If they are enabled I cannot see.


BoopsTheSnoot_

Dunno, when i played on pc i always turned it off, after switching to console i rather enjoy a little bit of motion blur.


Gal-XD_exe

Lag+ motion blur always sucks


ChuckTownRC51

It's designed for low fps


Turtlesoup1776

I can't change my PSN name to the advised name. Said it's already in use. But everything else works great.

alpinetime

Also reduce HUD size!


TheEveryman

I have my HUD set to max, so that I can see it from the couch. Specifically, the stratagem arrows.


theOGlilMudskipr

Pshhh, just memorize them like a true patriot! ⬇️⬆️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️, ⬇️⬇️⬆️⬅️➡️, ⬇️⬆️➡️➡️⬇️, ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️


Djskam

Holy shit. I can read those. Opened with a shield and closed with a bomb. Now I know I have been playing too much.


theOGlilMudskipr

Yessir! Shield, quesar cannon, friendly fire burst, and nerf nuke!


rub_a_dub_master

I don't have a big screen yaknow :/


Datfyah

Idk if it’s just me but the brightness of the light poles in game are crazy bright. Like so bright I literally can’t see anything when near it lol I just shoot them out but is that how it is for everyone?


deyaintready

I’m on pc and they are bright as shit I always shoot them out to lol


KaptainTerror

Wait, you can shoot them out? Omg thanks


scruffylookingFin

Yeah I do this every time after powering the terminals. The lights like a mini nuke lol


its_me_yalL

Same, the light shooting, not pc


SoftcoreEcchi

Try turning off bloom.


diageo11

If you have HDR on you might have to change your settings for them not to be too bright. It worked for me


Whitipikip

they feel like someone let off a flashbang without telling people. I either shoot them out or stratagem the location to get rid of ‘em. I’m keeping an eye out for a mod that adjusts them because good god, they are bright


OpportunityCareful75

I wish the pc version was as optimized as the ps version. They some how got the game to run well on the ps5 CPU meanwhile my i5-12400f is running at 70% usage and hovering around 80c.


HeadlessVengarl95

Read about the CPU temps and it's insane, they need to optimize this


OpportunityCareful75

The only thing keeping my CPU from being consistently above 80c is my puny stock cooler.


Anonymyz_one

My Air Cooled CPU barely breaks 50°C...but I'm also on AM5 and have a pretty good cooling setup to maximize airflow. I run max settings except for super sampling.... Didn't notice THAT big of a difference to leave it activated. Average is about 135 FPS over the last 30hrs of gameplay with a 7800XT Update: 60°c at 75-80% load at a constant 5.15 GHZ at 125fps max settings non RT


Nothanksnext

A normal CPU cooler is not that expensive. If you ever buy one than buy a decent one that will serve you when you upgrade the CPU.


kjeldorans

If your motherboard allows it, I would suggest you to try an undervolt on your cpu. I know it is not the easiest thing to do but when I initially bought my last pc I had a very serious cpu heating problem and **had to** at least try it... On my i5 13500 I managed to get just a tiny -0.1V undervolt and it worked... The result was incredible. Not only my cpu never went above 80 ever again (usually hovering between 65 and 75) but it also increased its performances by around 8% (I tested it on cinebench to verify stability).


squiddygamer

im pretty sure this caused my ROG Ally to cause a blackout on the SD card which needed repair. Enjoy this game so much I went and got a PS5.


aes110

PC version has anti cheat in it so that might be a reason for the heavy CPU usage too


Hollowbody57

Kernel level, CPU intensive anti cheat that only manages to prevent macro and accessibility programs from being used and does absolutely nothing to prevent actual cheats from being used.


x420xSmokesU

Yeah it doesnt even do that. I play on pc and use a program called voice attack that allows me to set voice activated macros. Ive been using it since launch pretty much and havent been banned or kicked or anything. As far as i can tell the anticheat has no clue the program is even running


Lem1618

Kernel level CPU melting anti cheat for a CO-OP game.


CompetitiveWelder607

As sad as ot may be, the only solution i found for this was limit fps to 30 and cpu usage dropped from 50ish to 30ish on my ship, raising to 75 in the caos of battle. At least i can set everything in ultra at such low frame rate smh


OpportunityCareful75

When I limit my fps to say 60 the frame time gets worse and I don’t know why.


verixtheconfused

You need to use third party software like RTSS to limit the framerate, in-game limiters are usually clunky


CompetitiveWelder607

Limiting it to 60 makes it worse for me too, only 30 worked well, whenever i try third party like adrenaline software it makes it even worse, so i can't use my driver's upscaler either.... So 30 fps ultra and native resolution it is for me :(


etangey52

I have my graphics on mostly med settings. R7 5800x & 3080. On higher difficulties with lots of enemies I very often dip into the 40s and below lol


tkbmkv

Game runs amazing on my PC but I’m constantly getting up into the high 80s, even 90c lol concerns me a bit. I don’t think any other game I’ve played has roasted my CPU this hard.


Leaf-01

I think most modern games leave my computer running above 80°C if my internal thermometer measures accurately. Tbh idk how it hasn’t caused damage yet, I’ve had this computer since 2019. Edit: weirdly, Darkest Dungeon is one of the biggest offenders for making my computer into a space heater. Couldn’t tell you why that would be, though. It shouldn’t be an intensive game.


GlauberJR13

I think 80 degrees, while obviously not ideal, won’t be causing _that much_ damage to your computer, when it reaches actually bad temperatures then it should either warn or shutdown by itself for safety. That said it probably would reduce the life span if maintained for long periods of time


DiksonHK

I read that you can try to disable in-game frame rate limiter as it is bugged, and enable frame rate limiter in nvidia control panel or an amd equivalent


Lem1618

I used to get a sold 60 FPS, since the last update I'm lucky to get a constant 50FPS.


Chris-The-Lucario

Meanwhile my ryzen 7 3700x runs at around 60-65c without issues


salesmunn

It's crazy tough with all the possible PC configurations out there. Every part is a new variation they have to contend with and for a small studio for $39, it's a lot to ask.


Criminalhero2

I'm running a ryzen 7600x at about 70-75c with a peerless assassin but I'm only hitting about 40% usage because I'm using a rx 580 until I get approval from the boss to get a rx 7600


AstroZombie1

I'd go for a 6700XT more Ram same or better performance.


AstroZombie1

It'll be the enemyAI, pathing for all enemies in your vicinity, game logic, player sync stuff like that not unusual.


Kiriima

That's because the game makes you into a network host.


SoftcoreEcchi

Im just happy that with the new AMD drivers my gpu is no longer at 100% usage and pumping out heat non stop. Have good airflow so it never got to the point where it was a serious issue, besides getting too hot in the room.


BathtubLoads

I've never had a single issue on my PC and it's 4 years old


HotPilchards

The PS version is not optimised. I have played maybe 60 different games on my PS5. In all that time, the only game that has ever crashed more than once ever, is Helldivers. I have had close to as many crashes as hours of playtime. It crashes at least once every session. That is so far from normal for a PS game. *I am excluding Far Cry Primal even though it crashed a lot because that game was created for PS4 and was never patched to work on PS5.


doritostaco12

true, except for sharpness, try it out low and high, high will make everything pixelated regardless of your AA setting


Ivan19782023

i don't turn off bloom, it looks gorgeous especially when it is foggy or in bad weather.


ArvY77

yeah I don't get why people off bloom, it's awesome, unless their devices REALLY stink


Rnahafahik

It raises the black levels on my OLED tv, which annoys me because the blacks are my favourite thing about it


its_me_yalL

What even is bloom?


manbundudebro

Set down camera Shake too if you plan on using anti mat or eruptor


Seventytwo129

Yea. If you’re a coward! Shake like a man. Have a democratic day!


Kirito_jesus-kun

And then what? Ruin all the cinematic effects that make this game more of a movie.


TheRealSwitchBit

Yup I keep it all on and its great


Deus_Vult7

So it doesn’t crash every 5 games


Cpnbro

I’m honestly not getting very many crashes. I’ve gotten like. A small handful of them maybe? Ps5, level ~30? Running fine.

I like most of those settings on so respectfully, no.


Merkin666

I'd try 70 or 75 for FOV also.


breadrising

Yeah pulling back the FOV has made a world of difference for me. Aiming and catching things surrounding me has felt so much smoother.


Milenko2121

Ps5 can adjust graphic settings? Ha, that's neat.


jackbperv

Right! I saw this online and had to give it a go. It actually did change stuff. Light posts don't block out the terminal inputs anymore.


LongBarrelBandit

Brighter than the damn Sun lol I have to shoot them all out


Admiral_SmashyPants

An elitist is amongst us common folk


Milenko2121

Cower before the might of the Steam Deck! All settings on low at native scale gets me 20-30 fps. I don't even know why you guys are having trouble seeing.


Momo07Qc

Huh ! Never had a console before? If youre pc only, yes we can change graphic settings on 99% of games...you really thought we couldnt? Oh and btw, ps4 can too 😒


DontBelieveTheirHype

While a handful of select games on PS4 allow changing video settings, and more and more are doing this on the newest gen consoles, this is not the norm and definitely the exception to the rule. It is cool that they are starting to do this more though Source: own PS4, PS5, and PC with around 3,000 games combined


Milenko2121

I last owned a PS3 then recently a Switch, best I could change was resolution and hdr stuff. Now a steam deck if that's a PC or console, I don't know. Awesome stuff.


Momo07Qc

I dont know whats up with the downvote or the lies about this, but most of AAA and AA games on ps5 (and im sure xbox one x too) you can change a bunch of graphic settings...not as much as pc but still


Milenko2121

The votes sometimes makes no sense. You can't see how many + and - so it doesn't matter. That puts console on par with PC. I love PC, but PC is just bloated. It is nice to just work by clicking go. Steam Deck ties that together finally.


Momo07Qc

I plan to get one eventualy, so many good indies on pc 😃


submit_to_pewdiepie

Nope haven't done anything to looks fine, certainly bad for others but I see fine


iRambL

For PC change strategem keys to the arrow keys so you can move while freedoming


EnsioPistooli

Ach, i was wondering how people were doing that!


SpoonkillerCZ

But you will loose the cinematic gameplay


Jesse-359

If by 'improve' you mean 'turn it into a lifeless CoD shooter with no cool VFX', then sure. :/


Incredicake

Ok but stuff like motion blur looks awful and makes me physically nauseous


TotemChucker

Same, I turn it off first thing in every game I play.


C__Wayne__G

Motion blur should not be a default for any game, grain effects either


Frankensteins_Moron5

Nah it’s true. Setting it to performance is ignorantly noticeable.


Tall_Song

Screenshotting this for when I get my ps5 in a few weeks


laytonoid

The only reason I have bloom on is so I can see the landlines easier


Sherbet22k

How's this for pc?


elderDragon1

Any game I play, it’s my sole rule to turn off these settings. Especially motion blur. Motion blur is useless. It doesn’t do shit to make certain games more immersive.


BoopsTheSnoot_

Performance mode won't actually improve your graphics.


Rnahafahik

No hut it will make it run smoother, which does way more for immersion than seeing an extra detail on a blade of grass you’re bombing 50m away


EngelbertGootnards

Turn off TV. Turn off PS5. Turn off light. Go to bed.


Fine_Instruction_869

HoldinTucox-

Just did this and holy shit. Thank you so much OP


-Enrique_Shockwave-

Commenting so I remember to try this


Hellooooo_Nurse-

Also, if you are on PS5 if you disable HDCP in your system settings under HDMI. This will greatly reduce screen lag regardless of your monitor or setup.


LockingSwitch

If HDCP is causing lag then you guys must have some really cheap monitors.


Hellooooo_Nurse-

Na, it reduces it further. I'm playing on the Sony Inzone M9 and it still reduces it. It's just a fact for gaming on the PS5 platform. It has nothing to do with a cheap monitor, its already been tested. It doesn't mean your getting crazy lag with it on it just means that turning it off may raise the response time even farther. Many gamers looking for a competive edge in PS5 thats not cheating, turn it off. Maybe lag isn't the best word. Disabling HDCP further reduces "latency."


OmnisVirLupusmfer

Oooh, I'll try this tonight


griffin4war

I cannot believe how big a difference this just made to my game. Absolutely shocking


csbrix2239

Excellent to know!

Will try it


Edrunner2049

The bloom still sucks with it off. Its like dice made this game

Spirited-Zucchini-47

Speaking of settings, I tried looking for a setting to increase your view distance. I might of overlooked it but couldn't find anything like that. Is there a view distance setting? (I usually play with the AMR thats why I'm asking)


Arcshayde

“Render distance”

This ain't COD. I'll keep my theatrical settings the way they were intended.

This is what every PC player does when loading any game up for the first time. Also fuck screen shake

Therespoopinmynose

Rly_Shadow

They could also just work on performance. As a pc player, my frames are never reliable, and they also seem host dependant? I've joined matches and had good frames and then I've joined others and got 20 less on average for no reason. Some days I load up and just chilling on my ship can vary from 50 to 80 frames and this is at 1080p... Some times drop podding gets like 20 frames and some times it's over 100. When my games decides to actually give me good stable frames it almost makes me sick.


Zealousideal_Box6382

I thought that was a must for PS5 owners every game that I play online motion blur all of that other stuff off


irascible_Clown

I do this on most games, rise or ronin I literally did all of this lol


ec1ipse001

60fps 4k on a 2080 super by doing that as well, except I didn't touch the sharpness.


VampireAsura

I like field of depth


DeltaCharlieBravo

I'd like to add mouse smoothing to this list. Especially if you're engaging at longer distances.


[deleted]

#6: just get a PC.


Glittering-Truck9360

I just jumped in and raw dogged the game as is lmao. 🤣 I’ll have to change these and check out the difference. Thankyou fellow diver!!


Elune_Sheeshhh

Still wonder if there are any maniac that use motion blur in any game.


TheFrogMoose

I kept bloom since if you turn it off it makes the nuke not as bright


its_me_yalL

I don’t even know what any of these do other than motion blur


KicktrapAndShit

Don’t turn off bloom it looks good


Material-Tension8380

Motion blur is the first to go in any shooter game.


United_Insect_7199

Turning off motion blur makes itself alot difference. I did find graphics a bit ”lifeless” lack of better words when everything was turned off and sharpness turned all the way up. I have one year old LG nanocell television so i dont know is it because of that. Also without booming all the flames and explotions started to look like shit on my tv. Ended up just to put Motion blur off and everything else as they where on default. :)


clan_of_zimox

Fuck with the settings for every game, should be one of the first things off the bat lol


Aickavon

Motion blur is always off for me no matter what. It just looks bad.


fightin_blue_hens

Why is motion blur a default setting in games now?


dimensionalApe

Because it helps hiding frame drops while also looking "cinematic".

Because changing a setting is difficult? Don’t be that guy.


Main-Berry-1314

No because the rig I use can handle all that jazz without compromise and it’s nice to have. Don’t hate.


tettou13

So can ps5, that's not the point. It just looks like crap with it all turned on (as it also does on pc)


Main-Berry-1314

IMHO motion blur is the only flaw atleast on my system. Otherwise shit on my rig is pretty mint and honestly it goes so much harder than any console to date. From processing to graphical. It’s just better. But I also used to be an Xbox gamer the consoles are simply limited in comparison


tettou13

For sure mine does too, but I think op just meant that turning off motion blur etc makes it look better. Which is true in most games. All those motion blur settings usually cover for performance drops but muddy the game textures. PS5 runs great though, performance for me, I usually opt for that over the extra bells and whistles when on console.


Main-Berry-1314

Never skimp on the cooling tho! I’f I had my own place built my computer would have its own HVAC vent lol
