Hi, playing BG3 through GeForceNow, works smooth and the system automatically puts me in the highest/ultra high graphics settings. That all good, but I have this glitch where text and icons of red or reddish color becomes all pixelated, boarderline unreadable sometimes. See these four screenshots for reference:

https://ibb.co/zJtHv5K
https://ibb.co/6g891LH
https://ibb.co/dWbf2H6
https://ibb.co/ynN7fsb

Does anyone know if there is a specific setting in the games option menu I could try changing?
I do get a "not updated drivers"-warning when starting the game, but I cant very well update Nvidia's GeForce Now's own drivers wink
Also, I can choose between Vulcan and DX11 when I fire up the game, and I usually go DX11 since it is pre-set (I have absolutely no idea what this means.)

Thanks in advance!
Best,
Adam

Personally, the red text in those screenshots looks "okay" to me, so maybe your monitor colour calibration is a bit off. However, it does look a little lower-res than the text around it.

I suspect this is a GeForceNow thing, not related to the graphics themselves, but actually the video streaming. I've never used GeForceNow myself, but common video compression algorithms use something called "Chroma subsampling" which can mean the colour information is a lower resolution than the brightness information, this can cause the borders of low-contrast regions to blur a little. Red text on a dark background is a prime example of where that might occur.

If GeForceNow has some video streaming quality settings, poking around with those might help.

Colour-blindness modes can help with things like this, but as far as I can tell, BG3 has no option for this.

In the screenshots the overall resolution is a bit lowered so the contrast between different text colors is not as pronounced as I am experiencing it. And regarding "looks okay": do you think it looks "3-years-in-early-access + $60 + $9/month-for-geforce-now"-levels of okay? Because I dont. smile
