There are a few things you could try in order to resolve this issue. Turning off Hardware Acceleration is a popular solution. You could also try other things like turning on ClearType Text or changing your Graphics Card settings. Let us look at these in detail.
Fixes For Pixelated/Blurry Text On Discord
1. Turn Off Hardware Acceleration
The first solution we’ll be trying is the one that has worked for most people who have had the issue of Pixelated/Blurry text on Discord. A lot of people have fixed the issue by turning off Hardware Acceleration in Discord. Hardware acceleration is a feature that makes use of the system’s GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to make an application run smoother. But in the case of Discord, sometimes this very feature could lead to blurry texts. To do this, follow these steps:
2. Turn on ClearType Text
Rarely, the issue has to do with a Windows setting called ClearText. ClearText is a feature that allows you to view the text on your screen sharp and clear. To turn on ClearType Text, follow these steps:
3. Activate Smooth Edges of Screen Font
Another thing that could help is activating smooth edges. Follow these steps:
4. Change Graphics Card Settings
There is another issue that seems to be prevalent in computers with Nvidia GPUs. The solution involves turning “Antialiasing – FXXA” off in your graphics card settings. This will also resolve the problem with Blurry text on Discord. Follow these steps: If this resolved your issue, you could program the 3D settings to turn off Antialiasing for Discord only. This way you wouldn’t have to turn the feature off globally. Follow these steps.
5. Reinstall Discord
If none of the solutions we shared above worked for you, as a last resort, you could try uninstalling Discord and then reinstalling it. To uninstall Discord follow these steps: This will remove Discord from your computer. Now go to Discord’s official download page and download the app again. Once you’ve downloaded the installer, open it and follow the onscreen instructions to install Discord. Once installed, hopefully this will also resolve issue of Blurry text.
