I have the relic malfunction effect on my screen at all times.

[sohm]

So my minimap is always glitching and artifacting and my vision is constantly artifacting and distorting. Any known fixes? (Yes, I've reloaded, tried getting drunk and tried having grenade vision effects applied. It starts as soon as the alcohol's/grenades effect ends.)

Joytoy cut scene and fast travel can reset glitches too, if you've not tried.

If you've a vanilla game and passing time doesn't clear it then would bug report the save cos that's an old bug which needs to die.

Thanks for the advice, I tried everything you suggested and it's still persisting. I also noticed it's playing the sound as well. Guess I have to submit a bug report.

Yeah, this is an ultra old bug and this time I've been unable to fix or work around it too. The worst part is, I was playing real fast to test new stuff and took me FIVE HOURS to notice it's permanent. Damn.

Yeah, I tried all the known workarounds - pass time, sleep, drink alchohol, save drunk and load the game (so the alchohol FX overlap the damn FX), dive underwater - none worked.

ive turned game off and on as well doesnt go away

It would appear that going to Dogtown at the start of the first Phantom Liberty quest, the glitch cancels out (in case anyone were waiting for the glitch to turn off before starting the Phantom Liberty quest lines)

thx phanax i will try now , some people solved the probleml when doing " brendan the vending machine" side quest.. but i don't know how to activate the quest yet...

[WiNdSuRfEr]

relic malfunction solved "brendan vending machine"
it works for me..
you can find brendan location on youtube
go talk to him
pass 48 h and talk to him a few time until you see a guy painting on him and kill the guy..
relic glitch gone !!

ps:
you need to have already unlocked the city
you need 7 constitution points..

Load the before the elevator with Johnny and don’t choose the ducked in the head more than me dialogue option

[sohm]

Sorry I forgot about this thread; my fix was to install a mod named "FX begone" (iirc), launch, save, close game, delete mod, relaunch.

Tried to fix this for 2 days, with mods even... Then played for 10 mins and it went away

Dang, was it recently? I saw that the 2.02 patch addressed this relic malfunction glitch (it occurred when skipping dialog in certain cut scenes) so maybe you went through one of the cut scenes that they corrected to make sure you weren't persistently malfunctioning. :)
