    Not sure which is worse these days.

    I always though the blurring was the game's nadir, but I am starting to believe that maybe the stuttering ruins the game more for me.

    Because it starts to make me feel unwell after a while, whereas the blur is very annoying, but I can still play the game without getting a headache.

    Of course when both come to the party on the same route then we are really cooking.

    Have been doing a lot of freight recently and trying to set the points in a complex depot/siding area from the route map once the stuttering has started is no fun at all.

    Blurriness all the way. Stuttering just gets in the way.

    Blurry textures are just annoying. Stuttering, on the other hand, makes the actual driving experience less smooth.

    Not that blurry textures are a good thing mind, but they're the lesser of the two evils.

    I'd always swap in blurry textures for stuttering, even for a permanent sub 30 fps. I don't play any content that's blurry - that's just my personal opinion of course.

    Blurry textures are way more worse than stuttering since you will always see the blurry textures during driving but stuttering you can miss it sometimes so it’s not as bad

    Performance is more important than blurry textures in my opinion. It’s annoying TSW does this…

    Stuttering, as it can make you feel sick. For that reason I have a monitor with VRR and LFC. This makes it more smooth, you don't have the FPS stutter, because the FPS do not match the refresh rate of the screen. There are still other stutters, the worst stutters I've found are on Linke Rheinstrecke, Bremen Oldenburg and Frankfurt Fulda. Also Frankfurt S-bahn is stuttering around Frankfurt. Luckily I've not seen any blurry textures on Series S, I do not own all DLC and Frankfurt Fulda has a limited timetable.

    I think I have seen a blurry texture once on PC and it soon disappeared. The stuttering is far less prominent than it used to be, for me the games runs better than ever with little stuttering and I don't have a top end gaming machine.

    For me it's terrible. I bought my VRR screen to play Farming Simulator 22 and not getting sick, it really worked out. The only TSW route I'm getting sick from, is Island Line 2022 and I don't know why. It's not the stuttering, route is pretty smooth.
