 I don't know if something is wrong with my game, but the textures in ME3 are absolutely atrocious. Way WORSE than ME2. I went into my configuration utility, and maxed out all the graphics settings, turned Anisotropic Filtering up to 16x, etc...it didn't seem to make any difference. 

Here are some screencaps demonstrating the problem (contains minor spoilers regarding a character's presence in the game).

Those textures are SERIOUSLY messed up. This can't be the game BioWare released...right? How do I fix this?

I don't get it. I don't remember it looking this bad in the demo, and I don't think it looked this bad when I first started playing last night either.

It seems like the graphics deteriorated over-night.

See, I have the opposite problem. The graphics are too high for my computer to run smoothly.

I'm having the same issues......super dark shadows, cruddy textures, during the opening rush to the normandy, the uniforms are TERRIBLE.

Any help with setting would be appreciated, I mean ME1 looks better than this.....and I have my graphics settings maxed out.

Jaulen, do you use an AMD Radeon HD Graphics card, and did you recently install new drivers?

I am having graphics issues with both brands of GPU, latest 295.78 drivers on Nvidia and 12.1 on AMD. Same exact problems.

Tried rolling back my drivers, that didn't fix it. The game looks so terrible...I don't want to play any more until this is fixed. It absolutely pulls me out of the experience.

nvidia graphics card, just updated driver (which was released on 2/21 specifically for the ME3 release) and if possible, faces looks even worse now.

Environments looks stunning, but faces and face shadows, egads. Beyond horrible. ME1 on low was better than this.

I agree, the graphics issue is pissing me off to the point I don't want to play (don't get me started on the ME1/ME2 face import issue)

Trying to reinstall ME3 now...but the Origin download is painfully slow for some reason (500kb/s).

I don't know what to do. After this, I will have tried everything.

I have a Nvidia Geoforce GTX 460M, which should be enough to run ME3.

I rolled back the driver, and am retrying the driver update. I mean dang, the driver update they have an AD for ME3.....after this its going to be uninstalling ME3, and trying to reinstall.


What Radeon HD crad do you have?

The textures on the characters are SOOOO terrible. Any kind of detail just looks like a pixelated blob. I'd love a response from Bioware on this...

And I have two ATI Radeon HD 6950s, running in Crossfire.

Reinstalling the Nvidia driver update didn't fix it.....

*sigh*

I was SO excited for this game, but the graphics are just SO bad it's unreal. I mean, I don't feel like being bothered to waste my time playing. It shouldn't take 6 hours to try to get graphics configured for a game.....a game that's supposed to have similar system requirements as the previous chapter.

I really need to try to get a screen shot of how horrid the shadows are in my game......It's worthy of crying a river of tears.

Same...hoping for a patch, or at least a Bioware response to this thread. This is really ruining the game for me.

Okay, I've officially reinstalled and patched ME3. No change. The graphics are still broken.

Bioware, can you please respond and at least tell me you're looking into the issue? I'm kind of upset that I shelled out 80 bucks months in advance, just to have the game look unplayably blurry.

Just posting this in all the threads that are regarding this issue.

I fixed it...for me anyway.

I opened up Mass Effect 2 to see if the problem was isolated to ME3. Turns out it wasn't. I was getting blurry textures in EVERY game. This led me to completely uninstalling my graphics drivers, instead of just updating or reverting them. I cleared all AMD software from my system, and installed a fresh clean copy from the AMD website. That solved it for me.

For those experiencing terrible textures, I also had this problem.  Have ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series video card and I have the latest drivers installed but still was experiencing attrociuos textures on the clothing in ME2 and the ME3 demo. I tried everything but couldn't figure out how to address it (the problem also affected games like Skyrim and Witcher 2, the textures were far worse then I remember them).

After much fiddling and going insane, I finally figured out what the issue was. Somehow, whether when the latest video driver got installed (using 12.1 released January 25 with Catalyst Application Profiles 12.2 CAP 1 released February 29), or otherwise, my gaming profile got messed up. Went into the Catalyst Control Centre (the control centre for AMD/ATI video card, not sure what it's called for nVidia cards), went into the gaming profiles and had to change the Minimap Mipmap settings; for some reason they were set to "performance" instead of "quality" and viola! Textures look good again, just as I remember.  Just to be sure, I also switched the profile back to default (as again, somehow it wasn't at default).

If you want, you can also create a specific gaming profile for ME2 and one for ME3 and set Anti-Aliasing to 4x - have read that that should improve the textures even more, although have yet to try it, as for now the textures look fine for me.

As for those having trouble with the shadows, etc., I had issues with those as well until I found this thread:

http://social.biowar.../index/797393/1

Once I included the DepthOfField=False in the GameSettings.ini file, the shadow problem went away and the game looks great and I can enjoy the experiencing without any graphical glitches. Image IPB Included the same fix in ME2 as those shadows were really bothersome, especially in some cutscenes.

Haven't had any texture issues using my Radeon 6870. I had a different video hiccup (screen shift) due to having an older MoBo with onboard graphics. I installed the 12.2 Catalyst Application Profiles (weird psuedo-Crossfire thing), and updated PhysX to 9.12.0213. Runs like a dream at 1920x1080 now, with the following AMD VISION settings.

Anti-Aliasing
Use application settings: (unchecked)
Morphological filtering: (checked)
Level: 8X [Max]
Filter: Edge-detect
Samples: 24X

Antisotropic Filtering
Use application settings: (unchecked)
Per-pixel samples: 16X

Tesselation
AMD Optimized: (checked)

Catalyst A.I.
Texture Filtering Quality: High Quality
Enable Surface Format Optimization: (checked)

Anti-Aliasing Mode

Quality: Super-sample AA [Max]

OpenGL Settings
Triple buffering: (checked)

Overdrive
GPU Clock: 975 MHz
Memory Clock: 1175 MHz

Oooh, thanks for the detailed description Dusk. I might fiddle around with a specific ME3 profile with those to see how I can improve the graphics but also don't want to go over-board and affect the performance. Maybe will be able to find a suitable middle ground but for now am just happy to have fixed the terrible, terrible textures issue I've been experiencing (honestly, don't even ask me how the minimap mipmap setting got screwed up, no clue there - gremlins in my computer, I tell you!).

What's that "Minimap" setting that you're talking about, because I can't find it in my CCC.
Is it specific to 5800 series?

In the CCC on the left hand side you should see a "Gaming" heading.  When You click on it, it will reveal two subheadings; one was something to do with 3D and the other was about Profiles. When you first click on the profiles subheading you should get a screen in the main portion of CCC to the right with a link; click on that which takes you to you general gaming profile settings. Minimap is one of the settings.

Sorry I can't provide screenshots right now but am not at home.  I would imagine this CCC layout would be similar for other types of Radeon cards. Sorry, am not terribly tech-savvy, perhaps Dusk can explain it better.

Gha, I just realized I cannot read: what I call minimap is actually mipmap... I think. Now I have to get home and double-check in CCC. I just hope the more tech-savvy folks can decipher my ramblings.

I'm sure that is meant to say "mipmap" and the setting in CCC is "Mipmap Detail Level". It should always be set to "Quality" or the highest setting in your control panel or it will cause you textures to look like the OP screenshots (low res / muddy). This is true of both AMD and NVIDIA cards.

If you reset your 3D Applications Settings to defaults you should be ok.
