Reported on Discord.

What happens: moving the Sharpness slider in the Insert menu's Graphics page between 0 and 100 makes no visible difference; the edges and outlines look the same.

Background: the slider sharpens Hookshot's own upscale (RCAS-style since #1256); the game's own sharpening isn't affected by it (#1166). Some upscaler choices may ignore the value (for example DLSS/DLAA, FSR 3.1, or the game's own upscaler at a 100% render resolution, where there's nothing to upscale).

What would help: which Upscaler and Resolution (render scale) you use, your Output resolution, the version, and two screenshots of the same spot at 0 and 100.

Thanks for the report. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #2511, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #2511 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
