Newer versions of the game have forced motion blur, without an option to disable it in-game. However, you can still disable it by following the steps below.

  • Open Windows Run by either pressing Windows + R keys together or searching for Windows Run in the Windows Search
  • Once it’s open, enter the following line, as shown below
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\STAR WARS Squadrons Steam\settings
Windows Run
  • Here, you will see the ProfileOptions_profile file
  • Open this using a text editor like Notepad
  • Now, set the values of the following variables to 0
GstRender.MotionBlur
GstRender.MotionBlurEnabled

This will disable motion blur in-game again.
