Getting this too, is pretty distracting and disappointing. Everything on max/ultra and on DX12

for crisp reflections set in usercfg.opt:

{ReflectionProbe
Size 512
}


Tried it. I had to apply read-only to the file to prevent it from changing back on startup.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. Same location.

Weirdly enough your ‘256’ screenshot looks miles better than mine (I would say acceptable). Mine looks extremely low res, almost 10x10 pixels… and the 512 just makes it clearer… like the water is perfectly still.

  1. Under wing. From this angle the water looks much closer to yours, however you can see how bad the wing reflection is still.
