I hate CA with a passion but it makes sense if used realistically in game assets that create CA effects in real-life. Full-screen Chromatic Aberration (CA for CA's sake), as in Lords Of The Fallen, is retarded, does no good for anything or anyone, and needs to stop, now.

2014 High-Res PC Screenshot Thread of the Last Hope for Image Quality
- Thread starter Stallion Free
- Start date
MaLDo speculates that there's a bug. The game has an option for shadow cache. If you enable that, then the game will often render terrible low-res textures in some areas. It seems to load the lowest mip for the texture because the shadow cache is taking up too much of your VRAM. Example.
Cool! Even with Boulotaur's injector I didn't get this to work in the past but now it works. This is awesome. Playing around with SMAA and film grain to hide BF4's aliasing issues. Working pretty well. Perhaps instead of CA I'll do a super-subtle 'explosion' filter. I dig it.

Can't imagine CA damages your eyesight. Couldn't see anything on google to back it up either but I could be missing something. Any links at all?
How are you doing this camera wizardry?

I added AA via GeDoSaTo, but it doesn't look very well. I can probably get it looking much better.
I tried forcing the game to run in resolutions above 1920x1080, but it didn't want to cooperate.

This looked orgasmic DSR'd from 2160p to 1080p at 60FPS.
It feels good to have a good PC again.

Imagine if you could take these screenshots back in time to the Genesis/SNES days

Don't really need Google to confirm that CA is messing up my eyes (5 seconds looking at a pic with CA makes my eyes burn, get all watery and gives me a headache). Maybe I'm just sensitive to it.
All I know from some quick searching is that just about everyone wants to get rid of it
All games that use it should have an option to turn it off.

Can't beat that timeless HL-artstyle. Exactly as I remember it!
It's a combination of the Camera Performance Remodeling gecko code, and Dolphin's Free Look utility. If only someone had made a LOD hack. Then I wouldn't have to worry about trees turning into ugly 2D textures so quickly.

EXACTLY.
Bloom is a REAL world effect that not only exists within the human eye but with camera lenses, high and low quality. In some instances like TV shows like NCIS they show a LOT of bloom.
But Chromatic Aberration?
lolno.
The ONLY way CA should ever show up, is if the character is looking through a camera,lens or visor that has a power surge issue or something where the display freaks out for a minute.
Or in EXTREMELY subtle fringes on out of focus elements with DoF
He was making a joke I am assuming, but the effect truly is like watching in old school 3D. It causes even more eye strain for me than staring at a screen for hours looking at aliasing or at obscene bloom like in Syndicate (which I can deal with)
Yo @Lime.
Amazing FFXIII screenshots over the last few pages.Great quality and nice camera angles.
Do you think

Final Fantasy XIII @ 2160p
Thanks a lot
No, she isn't the worst. It's just a hilarious line of dialogue and that screenshot reminded me of that particular line. :lol

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It's not an effect. It's a flaw. You don't see it in movies because it's something you only get noticeable amounts of on really cheap lenses. Like Walmart-level stuff.
Thanks a lot

Everyone's so darn busy on patch week.
Do you do anything to your shots? I don't remember FFXIV having CA, or at least never noticed it. Not that it looks bad, but it's not overly done either, except with some of the grassy areas. Either way, your shots look grand, keep them coming.

I wasn't joking, just using the wrong term. Eye strain, as you put it, was the term I was looking for. Staring at CA for long periods of time can't be good for the eyes.

He's posted about this several times. If he would link to his post.
Basically, SGSSAA+HBAO(+) + SweetFX

Same with the console screenshot thread
That doesn't actually answer my question.
Surely the people who visit this thread are subbed? Maybe it's some old gaf urban legend I'm not aware of.
lol yup

I played it back in 2010 on PS3 as well. I dig the art style and visuals and music a lot. The major drawbacks are of course the incredibly linear level design and the terribly atrocious writing, characters, and plot. So I'm just doing this is a sort of visual tourism thing accompanied by a good soundtrack.
it is a vague answer to your question.

I would guess that the majority of people who visits this thread are not subbed to it. It was almost always on the first page and therefore made it easy for anyone to pop in and check out the screens.

It smells bad here.
I've been on GAF for 8 years and I've never subbed a thread. Scanning the first 5 pages has always been good enough. Maybe now I need to start.
