Grainy shadows
Im playing with Shadows on Medium and most of the time there is a grain effect during cutscenes. I love the game so far but i cant deny that "Glitch" looks pretty bad

mine dont xd. I'm using vulkan if that matters. All other settings are maxed.
Instead of blurred edges i get sand-like shadows

Running a 7900 xtx and the shadows do look a little grainy as well

I was using SMAA, changed it to TAA. Significant improvement but you can notice grainy shadows.
++Now everything is a bit blurry Lol

Same,grainy shadows on the surface and chars, sometimes they are not visible, and sometimes they are very visible

Also running it on a 7900 xtx and have noticed both shadows and hair looking a bit weird.

Shadows look flickery and low res even on ultra

Same GPU - I think It obviously needs optimisation.

Ehm I would argue the texture pop-in is almost non existant - at least for me.
Pop-in was an issue in EA ...

game is installed on the ssd and sometimes when you enter the dialogue, the textures of clothes and the environment are loading. Not often, but sometimes

Medium doesnt look that good. To be expected tbh since its just medium.

I have the same problem on Vulkan, but also on DX 11 cutscenes have micro stutters, so wtf

I'm getting this as well. Shadows look like black pepper has been spilled.

It's especially noticeable in closeups, with faces and hair. There's fuzzy, noisy, black spots layered over top of surfaces.

Using DX11, shadows on High, DLSS/FMS is off, and changing other settings doesn't seem to effect it at all.

My shadows and most of the stuff is grainy. But it’s more because my computer is a toaster and it’s better than watching it catch on fire. Game is good though. Only things I have that are on high is the models for the characters and then medium for the animations.
