1. Open the Settings screen if you haven’t done so already.

2. From there, head over to the Graphics tab.

3. You should now see the following options:

Depth of Field: “Adds cinematic effect by blurring parts that are not being focused on.”

Motion Blur: “Adds blurring or unfocusing of objects when moving at high speeds or there is a rapid change in movement.”

4. Make sure that both settings are set to Off and then apply the change.

The sails on your ship can block your vision during combat. If you want to make them invisible, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so.

During combat, the sails on your ship should now be invisible.
