Alimar.8760 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I alternate between autodetect and max performance. Max when i'm doing meta's and things that need fast load times. Otherwise, if i'm playing the game for funzies I'll up it to auto detect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoGunner.4953 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Since release I never turned postprocessing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emprer.7256 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 off. I hate the visual effect from it with passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I keep it on almost all the time, and with it off I feel like the game is very dull. But as I was saying in another thread just now I also spent a while getting my monitor set up just right for me, so the brightness is quite low (this forum looks slightly grey, like paper, rather than bright white) but the colours and contrast are adjusted to compensate to make sure I can still see everything. I sometimes have trouble with other people's screenshots because on my computer it's so dark I can't see what's even in the image, but the game itself looks perfect for me. I did feel a bit like I was fighting with my monitor when I got it - it's my first 'gaming' monitor and straight out the box it was so bright even my Windows desktop hurt my eyes (and that's just a picture of the sea) - but after a while I managed to get it right. And the good part of the 'gaming' settings is it can save several sets of different presets so if I want to I can have different settings for each game I play.

Cerioth.7062 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I play with it on and use reshade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Off. Many maps in GW2 look rather strange with it being activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJin.4127 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Wow, I'm very surprised so many players play with postprocessing off most of the time. The reason I made this poll was because I was reading reddit and there was a post about PP where the majority of the replies said they played with PP off. The 2 biggest reasons for players turning PP off were the game being too bright, and the green outline that is weirdly tied to PP. For those players who play GW2 mostly with PP off, do you play other games with PP off as well? Or is it just GW2 because of the mentioned issues? I always figured that the vast majority would play with PP on unless they had a really old computer, or are playing competitive games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talindra.4958 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I turn it off to take screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerJoker.9081 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Off, I use gw2hook for that. It has a few more options to alter saturation etc to my likings :) My cpu and gpu are powerful enough to handle 60 FPS in general with some drops to the 40ies at meta events, wvw zergs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanok.3027 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 On 100% of the time. Must have my visual shinies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenedge.9675 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 My main reason for leaving it off is the character outline. And now you sell that as a glamor item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyse.8179 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I play with absolutely everything off that can be turned off, and I still can't see what I'm doing most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneirikb.7506 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Off, because it's the only way I can make nights actually get a little bit darker than days. With it on, nights just look like a slightly clouded day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylden Ar.3724 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Off because I need to see for my job, and all the particles and glowy are blinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo Chocolate.5870 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I've played with postprocessing on since release, but this thread (and the other recent one about this) inspired me to try disabling it - and having done so the game looks a lot better! The question is, am I missing out on anything by having it turned off? I mean, anything other than inexplicable light sources and brickwalled contrast. (I'm not sure the term 'brickwalled' gets applied to visuals, but it seems appropriate here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
