I'm going to go straight to the point, I may make the guide fancier at a later point; I just want to go to bed maaan.

The game doesn't understand math and it cannot handle the complexities of camera projection: the closer you are to the lower bound of 90° (<), the more blurry some specific textures will look. Decreasing your FOV helps to some degree, but the fix_fov_please parameter switches to true magically at exactly 90°, and it's benefits carry on to higher FOVs.

Open the console with tilde (`) and write the following.


Vertical 90° for a lot of us is insane, at 16:9 it's equivalent to about horizontal 122°, but it should fix your blurry road problems so... pick your poison.

Here are some ridiculous comparisons.



Yes you get only one comparison for now, give me a break it's 6:29 AM for me

If this doesn't fix your problem, pay close attention.

• Anisotropic Filtering: Anisotropic Filtering is a fancy technique that makes textures nice and sharp from any angle, every single 3D game since the 90's uses this, as it doesn't pose any performance hit on even the most potatoes of systems.
  
  The game uses the following values for the different Texture quality settings:
  
  
  Low: x2 (Unbearable) Medium: x8 (Alright) High: x4 (Why???) Very High: x16 (Ideal) Ultra High: x16 (Ideal)
  
  This means that the Low and High settings will always look bad at angles, to varying degrees. But fear not! As you may be able to force Anisotropic Filtering levels through your driver software. Simply Google "how to force anisotropic filtering x16 on [NVIDIA|AMD]" (depending on your vendor) and follow the guides.
  
  
• Data Streaming: Another known cause for this issue is I/O bandwidth: the disk you have the game installed in may not be fast enough to load all the necessary textures as the game requests them. Either turn off HD Textures, lower the Texture quality setting or move the game entirely to a faster disk; this game likes SSDs!
