Fix: COD Warzone 2 Texture Glitch and Blurry Graphics

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is finally released with a massive free-to-play battle royale arena, including the new map and Al Mazrah. As a sequel to the Call of Duty: Warzone 2020 edition, it’s a part of 2022’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II if you’ve purchased the base title. Though it’s an improved version of its predecessor in terms of graphics and controls, some players are experiencing the COD Warzone 2 Texture Glitch and Blurry Graphics issue on the PC.

Now, if you’re one of the victims of such an issue, follow this troubleshooting guide to resolve it. It’s worth mentioning that the launch of Warzone 2.0 didn’t go smoothly for everyone and unfortunately, players are facing plenty of issues related to graphics quality or texture bugs. Additionally, issues with startup crashes, graphical glitches, voice chat not working, frame rate drops, lags, stutters, etc can be a mess for some players.

Fix: COD Warzone 2 Texture Glitch and Blurry Graphics

It seems that plenty of affected Warzone 2.0 players have already reported this issue due to the texture loading and blurry graphics on the PC. Not only it affects the gaming experience but also reduces framerate drops. The chances are high that conflicts with the in-game graphics settings, issues with the graphics drivers, corrupted or missing game files, an outdated game version, etc can be possible reasons behind such an issue.

Luckily, here we’ve mentioned a couple of possible workarounds below that should come in handy. So, without further ado, let’s get into it.

1. Adjust Render Resolution

Sometimes issues with the render resolution in the game’s graphics menu can cause texture not loading or blurry graphics issues on the PC. You can follow the steps below to do so:

• Launch the COD Warzone 2.0 game.
• Go to the in-game Settings menu.
• Select Graphics > Set Fullscreen Exclusive to the Display Mode.
• Choose Borderless or Windowed mode.
• Next, click on the Quality Preset tab at the top.
• You’ll see the Render Resolution option which can go to 30 or 50.
• Then set it back to 100 and apply the changes.

2. Disable Motion Blur

You can follow the steps below to turn off motion blur from the game settings menu to reduce graphical glitches in most cases. This setting will clear out most of the blurs around the in-game environment and weapon while moving. You should Disable the ‘Weapon Motion Blur’ and ‘World Motion Blur’ options.

3. Enable On-Demand Texture Streaming

There are a couple of important settings that come enabled by default which can impact the in-game performance. You can follow the steps below to fix it.

• Open the COD Warzone 2.0 game > Select the gear icon in the top-left corner.
• Go to the Settings tab > Head over to the Graphics section.
• Turn On the On-Demand Texture Streaming option in the ‘Details and Textures’ panel.
• Next, increase the Texture Cache Size.
• Additionally, it’ll also remove download restrictions, turn in-game local texture upgrades, and more.
• You can also adjust Details and Textures under Post-Processing Effects to reduce blur.

4. Set Display Resolution Scaling

The default Display Resolution Scaling can be a reason behind the graphical blurriness. So, Warzone 2.0 players can set the Display Resolution Scaling to the appropriate value according to the system’s preference.

5. Reduce Film Gain Parameter

This option will help you to reduce the blur and texture glitch under the motion blur setting. You can lower the default value of the film grain from 0.25 to zero (0) or 0.05 to get better visibility.

6. Keep the Stable Nvidia GPU Driver

It’s also worth recommending using the Nvidia GeForce App for v516.59 or v522.25 drivers to minimize the stability issues with the Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 until the new patch update arrives.

We've noticed some stability issues with the latest NVIDIA drivers 526.47 on Call of Duty #MWII. For now we'd suggest you keep the 516.59, or 522.25 drivers.

8. Update GPU Drivers

An outdated or corrupted graphics card driver can trigger multiple issues with the games or system performance while running programs. It’s highly recommended to check the graphics driver update. To do so:

Make sure to download the graphics driver file respective to your graphics card model and manufacturer. Nvidia graphics card users can update the GeForce Experience app via the Nvidia official site and AMD graphics card users can visit the AMD website for the same.
