AMD FSR 2.1 now available for Farming Simulator 22

AMD announces an improved version of its temporal upscaling technology. 

Earlier this week, Farming Simulator 22 received a 1.7.1 patch that deploys a new version of AMD FSR2. AMD update to FSR increases image quality, but also reduces artifacts such as shimmering and ghosting, the most common issues associated with temporal upscaling techniques.

Among many small bug fixes, AMD included animated textures, spark, and smoke particles to the sample data. AMD suggests that developers should pay attention to Reactive Mask, to ensure the best quality upscaling is applied.
