Shadows or Texture issue

[CqRXNptHZr0Xpa9f]

I'm getting what appears to be a flickering of misplaced shadows or corrupt textures. Imgur is lowering the resolution significantly, but you can still see the black popping in and out as I pan. I've tried Medium, High and Epic presets. DX11 and DX12, with and without FSR. Upgraded to the latest, Icarus ready display drivers.

Maybe it is hitting some limit on how many shadows to render and swapping between different ones being visible? Dropping foliage setting might help by reducing the number of elements to draw shadows for?

If that were the case, going from Epic to Medium should have resolved it, as medium significantly reduces foliage and vegetation.

Oh I thought you were just meaning specifically Shadows settings, not the general presets, sorry.
You could try tweaking some of the individual settings instead to see if you can find one that helps?

A good suggestion, but no improvement. I left everything on Epic, and then cycled each individual setting to its lowest value. i also adjusted FoV and Memory allocation. I went back and tried the AMD's 21.11.3 and the game ready 21.12.1 GPU drivers. I think it might have something to do with the hotfix that came out. "Fixed issue with shadows being displayed incorrectly on the distant mountains." Because when i initial played, prior to the servers going down, i didn't have the issue.

This appears to be an issue with FOV. I used the Restore Defaults option for graphics and game play settings. the issue wasn't present after doing this. i then spent 45 minutes launching and quitting. Anything 91 or higher causes this shadow splotches effect. a setting of 90 or below does not.

At least that is what i'm seeing on my system.

I also have this issue, corrupt shadows / artifacts going on. I did notice the issue to a lesser degree yesterday pre patch and on the non game ready drivers. Updated to game ready drivers after my session last night, patched the game to day and the issue is much much worse.
***update - confirmed that reducing FOV has a big impact on this, doesnt eliminate the bug but it certainly helps***
5800X with PBO enabled,
32mb RAM running at 3600mhz (historically stable overclock)
6800XT with 21.12.1 drivers (default settings)

I'm just tired of rebooting the game to try different settings that don't seem to help... very frustrating.
