Grounded 2 has blur problems that make the game look bad. Motion Blur and foggy nature of the old game was also a problem back in the day. However, fixing both of these issues is quite straightforward.
Turn Off Motion Blur
Motion blur in Grounded 2 is way too much. I tested this on RTX 3070, the game looks way better with it off.
How to turn it off:
- Open Options Menu
- Go to Display Settings
- Locate the Motion Blur slider
- Set it to 0%
- Save
The slider goes 0% to 100%. Try going from 0 to 100 any find a suitable setting according to your personal preference. I get Motion sickness and disabling motion blur is something I do even before starting my gaming session when a new game is installed.
Edit Engine.ini File
This removes depth of field and fog by editing the engine.ini file. Slightly technical, but works.
Steps:
- Go to
C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Local\Augusta\Saved\Config\WinGRTS - Make new text document
- Rename to
Engine.ini(delete the .txt part) - Open with Notepad
- Paste this:
[SystemSettings]
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0 ; Removes Depth of Field
r.DepthOfField.DepthBlur.Scale=0
r.fog=0- Save it
- Right-click Engine.ini > Properties > Check “Read-Only”
- Hit Apply
Remember to follow step 7 else the game will re-write its own version as soon as it starts. Read-only will lock the file.
Which One Works Better
Method 1 is faster. Fixes the obvious blur stuff. Method 2 gets rid of all the blur effects including ones you might not notice.
I use both. The config file thing also helped my FPS a bit since GPU doesn’t render the blur anymore.
Method 2 changes how the game looks more. Fog removal makes areas look different but you can see better for gameplay.
