How to turn off film grain?

[TehJumpingJawa]

This is in no way an official mod and I haven't tested it either. But I think it will do what you want (remove the film grain effect in-game).

Perfect! That does it!
Looks so much nicer! (IMHO)
Cheers for your effort.

Any chance we might see this appear as an official option?

While I'm not one to usually be bothered *at all* about losing access to Steam achievements, the goals they provide do seem to add something to Skylines.

@MysticMTL: It is a design choice indeed. The effect is overall there to compensate the lack of high frequency details in places but I do understand some may not like/want it.
I hope it works, I tried it but I am on a retina display right now and I can't actually see the effect either way

@TehJumpingJawa: I cannot say at this point if we will be adding this officially (as it is not just my call) but I will definitely bring it up as it does IMO make sense, just like the tilt shift, it could have a similar slider!
But in the meanwhile, I thought a quick mod for it would still be useful.

Works perfectly, no more grainy static! Thanks!

I can't tell if the mod isn't on or what but my shadows are still really noisy/grainy. I subscribed to it and reinstalled but I am not getting much of a difference.

Can i ask, why did you use it in the game? Seems like it's noticeable only in darker areas, so its just futile! One thing is a film grain in Mass Effect, but this? :blink:


Instagram too much? hmy:

Really?... High frequency flickering to compensate the lack of high frequency details? What kind of magic it is?

You have to enable it too.

You have to enable it too.

Call me stupid, but how do you enable it?
I see it under the Steam Workshop tab with no enabling part, but it is not in the mods tab with the enable checkbox

Verify you have steam downloads enabled. I had mine to not update and the mods wouldn't load until I turned off the down load limiter.

So I figured it out. I thought it may have been Steam itself. I was using the newest beta version Steam which doesn't work with cities skylines very well for steam workshop integration. So I disabled it and installed the latest stable release and voila it works. And BTW the mod itself work like a charm too! I'll have to enjoy the game fully tomorrow because its getting kind of late!

I have this problem too, i think it may be related to graphic card driver problem.

No it isn't. Read the top of this page (page 3).

Thanks for the effort, it largely reduced amount of film grain, but there is still some left. Noticable on shadows and dark areas.

There is film grain? Well i had way too much whiskey in me last night so i might try to play it sober this time, anyway thanks for mod tip that disable that.

The mod does remove the grain, however it stops working after a random amount of time has passed. Saving/loading restarts the mod and removes the grain, rince and repeat. I wish you make an option in order to turn on/off this effect.

 

[grandad1982]

Mod seems to mostly work but the noise is still there in the shadows and darker areas. Its a little like having a migraine! An option to completely remove it would be very nice....

 

[TimFisher]

I see it, but you have to be really sensitive to need this mod since using any mod disables achievements.

It probably ought to be a setting.

I'm disabling the mod. I'll just live with it.

You have to care a lot about achievements to favour it over using mods in the first place in this game...

Thanks for this info, At first I thought it was just me and it was my machine/graphics drivers incompatible with the game. The main trouble is this grain didn't show up on youtube streams so It was unexpected. An option in the graphics settings to disable/enable it would be great though it isn't a deal breaker for me I got used to it in the end.

 

[Tridon]

While not a huge issue for me, I would like to be able turn off the effect in the options as well

 

[Screech666]

I'm really not a fan of that noise in the shadows and like others, I don't appreciate to have to use mods to "FIX" what I consider a really bad graphical issue.
