If RuneScape: Dragonwilds looks like someone wiped your screen with a stick of butter don’t panic; it’s happening to a lot of players right now. A lot of people have reported extreme blurriness—especially at night—and the current graphics settings don’t offer much to work with.
Here’s what you can try to improve it (until the devs step in and clean house).
1. Switch to Native Resolution
Make sure the game is running at your monitor’s native resolution.
-
If you’re using a lower resolution for performance expect a blurrier image.
-
Going back to native res can sharpen things up—at the cost of FPS.
2. Avoid FSR/Frame Generation (for now)
The in-game FSR options (like «Balanced» or «Performance») can cause major softness.
-
Try setting FSR to “Off” or “Native” if that option shows up.
-
Avoid Frame Generation, as it can worsen ghosting and blur at low FPS.
3. Use GPU Settings Instead
Since the game barely gives you any options, try forcing sharpening through your GPU:
-
NVIDIA users: Open Control Panel → Manage 3D settings → Add Dragonwilds → Set Image Sharpening to On.
-
AMD users: Use Radeon Settings → Gaming tab → Find Dragonwilds → Enable Radeon Image Sharpening.
4. Play During the Day (Yes, Really)
The nighttime lighting in Dragonwilds seems to increase the blur tenfold.
-
Some players say it looks okay in daylight, then turns into a foggy mess at night.
-
If you’re trying to see clearly, waiting for the sun to come back might be your best short-term fix.
5. Watch for Future Updates
There’s no motion blur toggle yet. No brightness or sharpening sliders.
Basically, the graphics settings are early-access minimal. You’re not missing anything—they just aren’t there yet.
Final Blurb
If your screen feels like it’s been smeared with jelly every time night falls in Dragonwilds, it’s not just you. The good news: sharpening tools outside the game can help. The bad news: until the devs roll out more display options, we’re all just squinting through the swamp together.
