If you turn “Motion blur” off, for some reason image becomes blurred.
Using WIndows 11 and Nvidia 496.49 driver.

Yes, the same problem is just with AMD graphics. Very fun shouldn’t it be the other way around? 
I keep reading that turning on Motion Blur takes off some of the Depth of Field as well.
If you look in the config file you’ll see that compared to other (KR) region config files SOME of the settings SEEM to be INVERTED.
In the GraphicOptionData:
<VideoOption Tag="GraphicQuality">4.000000</VideoOption>
<VideoOption Tag="TextureQuality">1.000000</VideoOption>
<VideoOption Tag="ShadowQuality">3.000000</VideoOption>
<VideoOption Tag="ModelQuality">0.000000</VideoOption>
That above is actually CUSTOM, HIGH texture, Low Shadows, Very HIGH Model quality.
Meanwhile we got Korean posts about running Lost Ark on low settings recommending you to copy (before each time you start game and to not open settings ingame) a config file with all settings to 0.
Also, what the hell is this: BloomUsed>443898112</BloomUsed
or this MotionBlurUsed>-1</MotionBlurUsed WTF DOES MINUS 1 mean?
Also, also, it seems in the CurrentSettingData section it’s not…quite inverted. (Besides the 4 million bloom, which used to be a 225xxxx number 2 days ago but after deleting config file and game remaking it it is now that 443898112).
Also there are missing options ingame and/or differently names, translated by…ahem…nvm…let’s call it very bad (and this one might actually be on SMG but also the DX11 rush that happened).
WTF is Tag=“OutFocusing”>1.000000< ?
Why is DistortionUsed at 16 when you uncheck the Distortion effect setting?
Then ppl wonder why we can’t turn off DoF, why it’s blurry and char names/guilds (and npc names) are unreadable when they (or you) move, why “motion blur off” blurs things (apparently motion blur was mistranslated for RU version as well, or something and it was actually DoF, which would explain some things).

I’m having motion blur not working too now, I didn’t have an issue until they did the update to include Europe West and then suddenly motion blur is permanently on regardless of the box being not ticked…
I’m on Steam version of LostArk>Central Europe>Sceptrum Server!
It’s unplayable for me It gives me dizzy and makes me unable to focus on anything but my character when on horseback because I can’t see anything… it makes my eyes & the front of my brain literally hurt!
It’s making me lose interest in the the game please patch this I don’t wanna do so a large re-install because i have 30mb/s of broadband to work with due to shared bandwidth, my first install of the game took several hrs i’m not doing that again!
I am not gonna waste time on a game I can’t play so I hope they fix this as soon as possible!
(also sidenote my other character on a different server has been pending deletion since a few days after launch it’s been over a week nearly 2 since then, yet according to my american friends u.s. characters get deleted almost immediately)

They really need to look into the config file. The 1st half goes up (0 is Very High Quality, 1 is High, etc.), the 2nd half (Current Settings - section) it might be the other way around.
They broke the living hell out of it with DX11.
Or the motion blur thing being reversed and/or removing some of the DoF when it’s on.
(This time I think it’s SMGs fault…but AGS needs to let them know faster.)
100% unrelated, SMG also messed up some of the translation or something because I really can’t believe EN localizing from Amazon translated thieves as “stealers” ROFL. Actually…I might…
You could try \SteamApps\common\Lost Ark\EFGame\Config\userOption.xml
and edit that with notepad and search for “motion” (there are 2), set both to…zero, try, if not close game, set both to 1, try.
(Ppl recommended on Steam forums to turn Motion Blur ON to remove some of the Depth of Field nonsense).
EDIT: and yes after one of those patches it’s worse. Lower FPS as well.
Hey. I’ve fixed this problem with a mix of Nvidia 3D settings and a few tweaks.
Add me on discord DemonKaren#3720 and i’ll show you how to fix it.
