📋 About This Mod
Textures on surfaces at oblique angles to the camera in Subnautica are very blurry because anisotropic filtering is disabled by default in Subnautica and there is no option in the menu to turn it on. This can result in very blurred textures at very short distances away from the player. This mod will turn on anisotropic filtering which provides a significant boost to the visual quality of the game with no hit to performance.
If you have an Nvidia graphics card you can get the same effect without this mod by forcing anisotropic filtering on for Subnautica under Manage 3D settings in the Nvidia control panel.
I've been told if you have an AMD graphics card you can get the same effect without this mod by forcing anisotropic filtering on for Subnautica under the Gaming tab > Subnautica in the AMD Settings application.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,046 endorsements and over 125k downloads
- Directly addresses a common visual annoyance—blurry textures
- Lightweight fix that doesn't require heavy performance costs
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2022—may not be tested with the latest game patches
- Limited scope: only affects texture filtering, not other visual issues
For players who notice blurred textures at a distance and want a quick, no-fuss fix. If you're a graphics enthusiast who already tweaks settings via config files, this might be redundant. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive visual overhaul—this is a single-purpose tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If the game has an in-game settings menu, check if anisotropic filtering is already available—this mod may be unnecessary.
- After installing, compare textures at a distance to see the difference; it's most noticeable on ground and wall surfaces.
- Since the mod is simple, it likely works by replacing a config file—make sure to back up the original if you want to revert.
