In case your game is not loading the textures correctly, the problem can be associated with your game files. There are several other reasons behind the issue, which is why we have compiled a list of different methods you can use to resolve the issue. Follow the solutions below to do this.
1. Check Render Resolution
The first troubleshooting step you should perform when resolving the textures issue is to check your render resolution. In some scenarios, the game may set the render resolution value to something other than 100 for various reasons. When this happens, your game is rendered at a lower resolution than you have selected which can make the textures look pixelated in the game. To fix this, you must ensure the render resolution is set to 100. Follow the instructions below to do this:
2. Turn off Depth of Field
Another reason your textures may be looking blurry can be due to the depth of field setting. With the depth of field enabled, the game blurs out any areas that are not in focus as you would find in a camera lens. When this does not function correctly, your overall game can become blurry, in which case you will have to turn off the depth of field option. To do this, follow the instructions below:
3. Turn off NVIDIA DLSS
NVIDIA DLSS is an upscaling or image-sharpening algorithm that uses deep learning to generate sharp images of in-game textures. Using NVIDIA DLSS can also boost performance using the Ray Tracing (RTX) technology. In some scenarios, NVIDIA DLSS can produce blurry textures, either due to the quality preset that you have selected or an inconsistency with the game. In such a scenario, to get rid of the pixelated textures, you can switch NVIDIA DLSS for a different upscaling algorithm like FidelityFX or SMAA T2X. Before changing your upscaling/sharpening algorithm, we recommend changing your NVIDIA DLSS Preset to Quality. If you have your preset to ultra performance, you will receive a performance boost, but the texture quality won’t be good. Follow the instructions below to do this: If the problem does not disappear even after changing the Upscaling / Sharpening algorithm, we recommend turning the upscaling option off altogether. With the upscaling feature off, see if the game textures are pixelated anymore.
4. Turn off Parallax Effects
Parallax effects give the backgrounds in the menus a 3D effect. This allows them to move slowly in comparison to the foreground images. In some scenarios, we have found that Parallax effects can cause your textures to be pixelated. You can resolve the issue by turning off Parallax effects in the interface menu if this applies to you. Follow the instructions below to do so:
5. Change Particle Quality Setting
Your game textures can also encounter pixels issue due to your particle quality settings. The quality of your particles plays a vital role in the quality of your textures. If the textures are blurry or pixelated, it is very likely your particle quality is set to low. In addition, if you are encountering white flickering while playing the game, that also points toward your particle quality setting. You must change your particle quality setting to resolve the issue in such a scenario. Follow the instructions below to do this:
6. Turn On On-Demand Texture Streaming
If you are facing a pixels issue with the weapon camos, the problem can be rectified via the On-Demand Texture Streaming setting. When the On-Demand Texture Streaming option is turned off, your game shows local textures only. By enabling On-Demand Texture Streaming, you are allowing the game to download high-quality textures to your local drive as you play the game. This can provide more color and improved visuals. Follow the instructions below to enable On-Demand Texture Streaming:
7. Turn off Dynamic Super Resolution (NVIDIA Only)
NVIDIA drivers come with a Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) feature that significantly improves the quality of your in-game graphics. This is achieved by rendering a game at a much higher resolution than the one your monitor supports and then scaling it down intelligently to your monitor’s resolution. If you have this feature globally enabled, it can cause MW2 or Warzone 2 to face texture issues. This can happen due to bad optimization or even your graphics drivers at times. In such a scenario, you will have to disable DSR in the NVIDIA Control Panel to fix the issue. Follow the instructions below to do this:
8. Verify Game Files
In some scenarios, the game textures may not load because of your game files. This can happen when you are missing the textures locally or due to an inconsistency in the files. If this scenario is applicable, you can resolve the issue by verifying the integrity of your game files. The process is simple for both Steam and Battle.net clients. Follow the instructions below to do this.

9. Reinstall Graphics Drivers
Finally, if none of the methods has resolved your problem, there is a good chance your graphics drivers might be causing it. These drivers are used to communicate with the graphics card on your motherboard so they play a vital role. The issue can occur when your graphics drivers are damaged because the graphics card cannot render the textures properly on your computer. In such a scenario, you will have to reinstall your graphics card. You will use a third-party utility called Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to do this. If you have an AMD card, you can use AMD Clean Uninstall Utility to uninstall your graphics drivers. Otherwise, follow the instructions down below to reinstall your graphics drivers:
