Hi all,

Spun up SH4 after a long stint of play GWX and found that everything seems a bit hazy and bright, stuff like uniforms being blinding and fuzzy. Just feels a bit off.

I've tried playing around with the settings, but couldn't get it to look right.

Is this normal SH4 or am I doing something wrong.

Cheers

It's that hot, Pacific sun!... but seriously, the game is kind of over-exposed, over-saturated, old "movie" style graphics. You can improve things a bit with your graphics card's display control, but you could also try to decrease the gamma in the Options - Graphic Settings menu. Don't move it much to the left though, else it will be dark all of the time. Someone else might remember the "fuzzy filter", but I don't... :salute:

Might this... be what you were thinking of, propbeanie, ol' chap..?

Nice find MM! The <page 3> Code is the way FOTRS did it, and FotRSU kept it. But yes, the mod was another way to do it... I am not certain that method would still work with the v1.5 of the game, nor if it has any other side effects, but you could always experiment with the one in s7rikeback's collection at Remove Grain Effect.7z (https://www.mediafire.com/?c5e6f58gec1cy#j28god9b8oher) Something to remember about either technique, is that neither way reduces the "glare" in the old game. :salute:

Over-exposed and over-saturated where the words I was looking for. Thanks for the info

I'm running FotRSU but I'll see what else I can do
