Fixing Blurry Resolution Scaling and TAA Ghosting in Meccha Chameleon

Achieving crisp image quality is essential in Meccha Chameleon. Because the core gameplay relies on hiders painting their skins block-by-block to blend into textures, blurry rendering makes it difficult to align grout lines, grain patterns, and paint seams.

If the game world looks out of focus, or if camera sweeps produce a distracting “ghosting” trail behind objects (Temporal Anti-Aliasing ghosting), the cause lies in sub-100% resolution scaling, aggressive temporal filters, or high-DPI scaling conflicts.

Follow this guide to optimize your resolution scale and clear visual blurriness.

• Branch A: Lowered Render Scale: The game is rendering at a lower internal resolution to save FPS. Jump to Render Scale Configuration.
• Branch B: Temporal Filtering Trails: The image is sharp when stationary but smears or ghost trails when the camera turns. Jump to Anti-Aliasing Adjustments.
• Branch C: Display Scaling Conflict: The game window is scaled incorrectly by Windows. Jump to Windows DPI Override Settings.

Detailed Step-by-Step Fixes

1. Set Native Render Scale (Render Scale Configuration)

By default, Unreal Engine 5 may set your Resolution Scale (render scale) to 50%–70% to maintain target frame rates. This renders the game world at a lower resolution and stretches it to fill your screen.

1. Open the game settings menu and navigate to Settings > Graphics.
2. Locate the Resolution Scale slider.
3. Adjust the slider to 100%.
4. Click Apply.
5. If this drop in performance causes frame rate stuttering, consult our Low-end PC Settings Guide and Low FPS After Update Guide to recover performance without sacrificing render resolution.

2. Swap Anti-Aliasing Modes and Disable Motion Blur

Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) combines past frames to smooth out jagged lines. However, this causes ghosting trails behind moving players and dynamic flashlights.

1. Navigate to Settings > Graphics.
2. Locate Anti-Aliasing Method.
3. If available, switch from TAA / TSR to FXAA or OFF to eliminate ghosting trails completely.
4. Disable Motion Blur: Turn off Motion Blur. This reduces perceived blurriness during fast camera pans.
5. Disable Depth of Field: Turn off Depth of Field to keep distant hider spots in sharp focus.

3. Edit Engine Configuration Files (Advanced Ini Tweaks)

For players on mid-spec setups, you can manually customize the temporal antialiasing weights to reduce the smearing effect without turning off TAA completely.

1. Close Meccha Chameleon.
2. Open the Windows Run window (Win + R), type the following path, and click OK: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Chameleon\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\
3. Locate and open Engine.ini in a text editor.
4. Scroll to the very bottom of the file and append the following lines:

   [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
   r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=2
   r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.20
   r.TemporalAASamples=4
   r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1.5

   • r.TemporalAACurrentFrameWeight=0.20 increases the weight of the current frame, reducing the ghosting trails created by past frames.
   • r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1.5 applies a post-processing sharpening filter to offset TAA blur.
5. Save the file and restart your game.

4. Apply High DPI Override in Windows

If Windows overrides your application scale, it can cause the game to render at 1080p but stretch to a blurry 4K.

1. Right-click Meccha Chameleon in your Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files.
2. Go to Binaries\Win64\ and right-click MecchaChameleon-Win64-Shipping.exe, selecting Properties.
3. Go to the Compatibility tab and click Change high DPI settings.
4. Check Override high DPI scaling behavior and select Application.
5. Save and launch the game. If you have display mode bugs after this override, consult the Fullscreen / Borderless Guide.

5. Optimize Steam Deck Settings

Steam Deck players should use FSR scaling for the best balance of battery life and visual clarity.

1. Set the game resolution to 1024x640 in the game settings.
2. Press the Deck’s Quick Access Button (three dots), go to the Performance tab, and toggle Scaling Filter to FSR.
3. Set FSR Sharpness to 5. This sharpens the lower resolution buffer with minimal performance cost. For additional handheld configurations, see our Steam Deck Hider Tips Guide.
