Total War : Warhammer III blurry or pixelated graphics issue gets acknowledged

Developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega, Total War: Warhammer III is a turn-based strategy and RTS game. Released on February 17 this year, it is the sequel to Total War: Warhammer II.

The campaign involves moving armies and managing settlements around the map. If you own some races from the first two games, those will be unlocked in multiplayer as well.

Set in the fictional Realm of Chaos, the developers confirmed that the campaign map has doubled in size compared to the previous version of the game.

Having said that, Total War: Warhammer III players are now reporting (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) that the graphics look blurry or pixelated even at the highest settings.

Players with high-end graphic cards are complaining about the issue as well, indicating that the problem is not related to the hardware but the game itself. Many said they tried fiddling around with the settings but it is not helping either.

Hello Everyone, I’m hoping someone has come up against this problem and has a suggestion for me. The unit flags and sometimes the unit models themselves seem to have a random blurriness to them. It isn’t affected by the DoF setting, and I have set texture details to high or ultra. It’s almost as if the game is rendering low res textures but only for the flags, and not necessarily when they are in the distance, centre of the screen, close to camera or selected. It’s appears to not have a repeatable cause and switches on and off. It’s like a terrible, poor quality blur. I have a pretty good system – TWWH2 was on all ultra settings. 5700xt, 32gb RAM, Ryzen 5 3600 – running 1080.

I can’t post any pictures because I played for in hour at 2 am and I am at work atm. I had a similar issue with warhammer II but turning off sharpness fixed it. Turning off sharpness in this game had little effect and everything just seems like it’s at a lower resolution. And animations on big objects look blurry and pixelated. Nothing like the game play show case or streamers. And I think my pc should be able to run it. Here are my specs off the top of my head. 32 gigs of DDR4 ram Gtx 1080 Ryzen 5 3600x Any help would be greatly appreciated
