Worst graphic ever or Bugged graphic?

[Rainy]

I got the game yesterday and I was quite excited to be able to play it the whole day, but I had to change my mind as soon as I saw the broken graphic.
I am using an RTX3060 with (I think) 12GB VRAM and 16GB of RAM.
This game is destroying my eyes, all I see are bugged and non redered trees and all reddish outline when looking at more than 50 metres or so.
You can clearly see from the screenshot how bad trees are, you see that floating pieces which actually disappear when you get close enough to them.
I tried every kind of graphical setting and I have also checked the game integrity, what it wrong here?

If you had a bottleneck with the CPU, it would affect frames more than graphics quality. Something weird is going on there for sure.

My thoughts exactly but that article states that it can also cause graphical problems. My next thought was Shader Cache or GPU Driver. OP never stated what driver they're using. Maybe it needs an update? That should also create new shaders without having to manually delete them also.

Could very well be but I doubt the card is being pushed in this game unless they have unlimited frame rate (no Vsync or in Nvidia control panel) As far as I know, that GPU doesn't perform much worse than my RTX2070. At least if I am looking at the right one? There's might be better than mine? Can only find results saying its slightly worse than the 2070.

If the OP limits frames and the GPU isn't being pushed to its limit (at 1080 it really shouldn't be) I would assume the CPU should be okay?

Maybe drivers but unless one comes out for X game that someone plays, most don't actually update them all the time (from my understanding) Some drivers can cause issues so its not always wise to update unless you are having issues. Maybe worth a shot OP?

If the OP runs MSI as they play, they can eliminate CPU, GPU or RAM issues/bottlenecks.

I don't understand much about PC's if honest so everything I say could be complete twaddle, I just don't think this game should be causing issues at only 1080p resolution. That is very old now for gaming on a PC.

Latest Nvidia drivers, updated them about a month ago or so. What is truly strange to me is the mess I get when I choose the lowest preset for graphical settings. As soon as I will come back at home I will show you what happens and in the meanwhile I would be glad if you could share on here some screenshots of the game on lowest settings to see how it looks for you

Sorry didn't see this post.

Have you run MSI when playing? At least that way you can see what each component is doing. Could rule out any PC issues/bottlenecks maybe.

No, I don't use MSI. The weird think to me is that I have been playing with this pc since Christmas and I have played some latest titles with no problems at all, even if my pc was bottlenecked I don't understand why it would mess with the graphic instead of simply having frame rates issues

Just recorded a video for you, give me a few mins, internet is slow.

My TV is weird, I only get 120 at 1440p and 60 at 1080p. Maybe a setting but I don't play at 1080 anyway to worry.

As you can see, at 1080p medium settings, my gpu load was below 40%, its not braking a sweat. I don't think this is your PC myself but try MSI to see.

It is blurry for sure but not like yours. Give it a few mins to process to HD.

This game is stunning especially at 1440p or 4K. Just prefer higher/stable frames so play at 1440p instead of 4K.

Like I said, I know hardly anything about PC's but I don't think yours would struggle at 1080p at all. Your card is a 1440p card like mine, 1080p is old tech now really.

Download MSI and go into settings, just put GPU load and temps on, CPU load and temps and also RAM used. At least that way can see what is going on. Can also press left ALT and R to bring up Nvidia one but its not as detailed at MSI, can change so much with MSI one to monitor everything.

If you eliminate the PC, you know its a file or something with the game.

I'm using I9 10900k and RTX 3080 and the picture is at 1440p. (Where I always play all my games.) Using Dx12 as I think it works better than Dx11 for me. Not using DLSS but Temporal because I haven't noticed any improvement from DLSS in this game. (I think it needs some work) Framerate is limited to 72 FPS (from Nvidia control panel) and it will sometimes drop to 65 or so with tons of trees.

I noticed in your video after you turned down settings that you had several floating artifacts above the trees as you climbed the hill. Curious if that's still there in higher settings? Can you tell me the location so I can test it there?

As you can see, this game can utilize my GPU quite well but doesn't put a dent in CPU. This may just be a feature (fault?) of UE4. It sometimes hits 99% GPU usage but CPU stays quite low and never causes a problem.

I play with everything at max, including the couple things turned to Ultra. Kinda sucks that OP is having this problem as my observations show that he should be able to play at least with a mix of high and medium settings. (maybe even all high)

I still recommend a driver update. I've updated at least a couple times since Christmas and just did so a couple days ago. There are often updates that include more than just specific game profiles. They just seem to focus on advertising that aspect.

Hello Owl,

I'm sorry to hear about the graphical issues you're facing. In comparison to our minimum requirements for drivers, the GTX 960, your RTX 3060 might experience slightly lower FPS, potentially causing issues due to CPU impact. Even though Way of the Hunter is a demanding game, your system, especially on lower settings, shouldn't be encountering such problems.

I noticed you've already attempted to verify game files (in case you did not, here's how to do so: right-click the game in Steam > Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Files). To further assist you, please consider the following steps, which have proven helpful for other players in the past:

1. In "Properties", under the "General tab", change the launch options to select specifically "DX11" or "DX12", and see if one of these two makes it work.

2. Disable Steam/GeForce overlays if they are currently enabled.

3. Update your GPU drivers. In some cases, users resolved similar issues by verifying Steam files twice and updating their GPU drivers.

4. Uninstall the game, shut down your PC completely, restart PC, and then reinstall the game.

Please go through each of these steps and let me know how it goes. Thank you

Hi, thanks for the help. I will do these steps when I'll come back home but before that I will record a video because it's so strange to me that on the lowest settings my game looks like Minecraft, it's all completely blocky and blurred, I can hardly tell which ones are the trees

Just out of curiosity, what does does verifying your files twice do? Just in case a failed verify fails to verify again?

As far as I know it checks that all game files are working/installed correctly. Some say that after every game update, its worth doing this just to double check. I normally do as its a fairly quick process for most games. Some games might still work "fine" on the surface but it can sometimes pick up many files that have issues. It just installs/fixes them.

As for the post about trees, I have noticed effects on anything below high will cause this for some reason. When I played at 4K I noticed this as I needed to turn some settings down for 60fps. Foliage didn't cause this for me, that is grass and how far the trees render properly (they can look transparent/not rendered properly) but it didn't have that effect on the trees.

edit: Sorry you were asking for twice, my bad!

It looks like it's intended, I think? In the beginning when you have 2nd highest settings it looks good, then gets gradually lower quality as you reduce the settings. Also good fps all the time, it seems, 60 fps.

Or am I missing something? How does it look with max settings? And remember you can adjust individual settings. Shadows setting is normally the most demanding in games, so that can be set to low or medium, in general. Shadows are pretty blurry in real life as well...

Textures always at max for best clarity. With a 12GB card you'll have no problems with high-res textures.

Oh wow, you are dropping frames on just high settings at 1080p. So maybe there is something that is the bottleneck in your PC. Install MSI and play with it on so you/we can see what is causing the issues.

Would never of thought at 1080p high you would be dropping frames tbh.
