Best settings based on my PC stats? [updated with screenshot]

bunniegrrl

Hey, guys. I'm a new player, playing via laptop, and I've tweaked my in game settings to death, it seems.. but to no avail. My graphics are still blurry/fuzzy and I would think that my system can do much better than this without keeling over. Any thoughts on what to change in order to make things show up better? My specs are listed here:

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
Name: NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M

Here's a link to a screenshot, if that helps - click.

If you need info on anything else that will help, let me know.. and thanks!

Blurry/Fuzzy sounds like it could be bloom.

Some people have different preferences when it comes to bloom so try turning it off.

Here is an example of how Bloom can blur an image:

Nah, it isn't blurry like that.. it's more of a.. squared-off pixels, no detail in anything sort of blurry. I tried fiddling with the 'Graphics Detail' slider but it did no good that I could see, even at the highest level, besides bringing my frame rate way down.

This might be a better shot.. here. (Click the 'download original image' button at the top and zoom in on the photo to see the blocky/pixelated effect I'm referring to.)

Maybe try change resolution scale to 1 at display tab.

What resolution you are playing? That image is 680 x 384 ! (yes, downloaded the original) You can't go more pixelated than this especially if you zoom in.
Check in-game display settings (not graphic) and set the resolution to the same as your screen.
Newer or higher ppi models usually have 1920x1080. 1366x768 is also popular for laptops.

Also try maximized window mode instead of full screen, it should use the desktop resolution automatically.

micky, you're right - my laptop is that resolution, and my game is set at fullscreen with that resolution.. but kangkeock... when I changed that value.. Oh. My. Gosh. It made a world of difference! Thank you guys!
