I'm pretty sure I turned it off in the display.ini I changed motion blur and post process to off and I think it looks better....... 
Bugs in Inauguration Station

Ok, so my pc version is being buggy as hell. First of all, the buttons on the bottom left seem to be all blurry and they flash between the ones there, and some other ones. Second, when I try and move a bar during character creation, it either cannot move left, or cannot move right. my cursor doesn't even seem to do anything, and just flashes in place. and the second time I opened it, it for some reason loaded in windowed mode, even though I never told it to do that. Not sure what's going on here..
Hmm, interesting.
Curious here as to specifics of your hardware, GPU, CPU and all that good stuff.
Saw no issues on it here,usability wise. I do know the first time I ran it, it was in a funky resolution mode and I had to go into settings
to alter it to the proper resolution , which in my case is 1920x1200. Prior to that the character aspect was all off, too skinny and tall.
Maybe go into settings and alter a few things?
I think my system specs are in my sig or if not in my profile, intel i7 and nvidia gtx580 is basic info.
I hope they cleared up the issues I recall reading about with those that had AMD CPUS and AMD GPUS. I recall a number of huge
threads on the official forums with many that had issues ranging from extremely bad frame rates to issues as above to even getting the game
to run. It was a sad thing to read. My system ( Intel and Nvidia based) had none of those issues and the queer thing is, AMD was a huge sponsor.
I really do think it would be helpful though if people that have issues, when they post, post system information. Otherwise it is info in
a vacuum and does no one little good at all. Same goes for those like me that reply saying 'no issue here' or some such. Mine is in my sig.
This applies mostly of course to the official forums (tech issues) at Volition. The art of describing issues with relevant detailed info seems to have died
years ago. It is a endless battle trying to get folk to listen.
Yes, lets hope they fixed that at least, I don't want to see endless posts 100's of pages long again, of those with massive issues. (haha. Verily I
know this is a vain hope. This is the way it is.)
TLDR VERSION. LEARNING PC IS HARD.
(sysadmin if this post needs to be moved please do so if ya need to)
On a departure here below not related very much to the above posts of issues: It is just a place for one of my rambling rants.
Again, this is not directed to anyone posted above!!!! Directed to folk who know little of PC gaming and PC knowledge.
I will say, in Volition's defense, there are way TOO MANY people who can't be bothered to learn how to compare the system they have
to the well stated minimum and recommended specifications. It does take effort to learn how to do so intelligently. PC gaming has
ALWAYS been like that, since the 80's. I know, I have been here, done that. In fact. ALL HARDWARE needs to be bought with
SOFTWARE in mind FIRST. Yes, one never buys hardware and runs out to grasp software before knowing what one needs to run what
they wish/ need.
Back to Volitions Tech /issues forum:
Their tech forum was littered with people complaining the game runs like shit or not at all. When we ** got them to post their system specs (many
could not even figure out how to find out what they actually had) one found out their vid cards were well below min required or just at the
bottom end. (**We defined in this case, guys who do try to help at times those in need of such, when we are bored)
In the consumers defense, the GPU (Vid Card) and CPU (processor) makers make it hard for the average yo-yo to figure out
exactly where his/her system sits on the spectrum of specs provided by software makers. Simply comparing Part numbers or
product line numbers TELLS YOU NEXT TO NOTHING, unless you understand in detail what said part numbers mean performance wise.
One has to do research to figure that out.
That means spending hours at least hitting the nets to find the best sites to use where one can ponder that out. Due to naming
conventions GPU makers use, this can become a extremely daunting task.
Sadly, this has become WORSE as years go by. Some many years ago there was a industry effort to provide for users CPU and GPU
equivalency numbers on software. This has long gone by. As I recall it was mostly a Intel effort to help the poor consumer out.
If someone reading this post at a later date is one of those wondering how to start figuring these things out, may I suggest
a couple good sites.
anandtech.com Probably one of the best sites with charts humans can use. Learn to use them.
TomsHardware used to be good. Still worth a look though. Somewhat messy IMO, last time I looked. Prefer the above overall.

That one above is PASSMARK . Learn to use it as a rule of thumb comparison. It is a invaluable resource. Not perfect but it does well
when one is trying to compare your Intel GPU to a real video card and you need numbers to grasp the difference in power.
Learn to use the internets . Search Google or DuckDuckGo! I know, crazy is it not?
The search term GPU COMPARISON can start one on a amazing journey of education and learning.
It is up to the dear reader just how nerdy she or he wishes to become..... and final thought to those that might stumble across this in the distant future... if you just hate being nerdy, a PC is not for you, stick to slabs and game boxes, you will be happier. A PC requires the operator to learn,
something about operation of device. See YOU are the sysadmin of your own domain. Or should be.
Oh, and in this PC gamers experience , one who has been building his systems and gaming (and other things) on PCs since
the mid 1980's, NEVER consider the minimum stated specs for a given game as a starting point. If provided, ALWAYS use the
RECOMMENDED specifications as the SAFE reasonable MINIMUM spec required for a chance at reasonably satisfactory game play.
This is especially true these days as most players are probably using a HDef display. Pushing that many pixels takes power.
I mean that bit about recommended specs. Read it several times. Years of experience teaches one that. Key phrase is 'reasonably satisfactory game play.'
MIN specs just means you might be able to get the launch screen to load and see frame rates at 12 FPS at LOW rez with MINIMUM
graphic settings.
Oh, another FREE TIP .. NEver go by STEAM supplied specifications on a game.
In the case of SR3 Steam alone was probably responsible for so many unsatisfied customers. On their SR3 page (least last I looked during
launch and later) they had the MIN specs listed. If one knew to go to look, on VOLITION forums they had RECOMMENDED SPECs
listed which were far greater than MINIMUM. So what did the ignorant masses assume, that the specs they saw on STEAM meant
the game could play. It could, but hardly well and sadly, in other cases not at all. Not surprising to this old gaming geezer.
So, always go to the makers (developer and producers) sites and read. Do your homework.
Okay, coffee fueled rambling over. I was also driven by Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" playing in loop mode.

I like how the TL;DR was longer than the first part of the postYou must really like writing. Basically all of your articles look like a Newspaper news. That's cool !

I didn't. Please keep this on topic.
Yeah, I understand, it must be boring and difficult to read all that, because since you're a moderator, you have to read it all.
