Graphics problems
Wondering if I'm alone with having these issues...Screenshot speaks for itself, just look at the water. This is also on clouds and all reflective surfaces such as the boat dashboard

What vid card?

Try turning off vertex fog and see if it clears up.

Hey there, can you let me know what PC specs and Graphics Card you have?

Can you also check to see if you've got the latest Graphics Card drivers too?

Cheers

I am running an i5-4460, 12GB RAM, and an AMD R9 390x with 8GB VRAM. Drivers were the first thing I checked, they're all up to date.

AMD 390x, 8GB VRAM.
Changing that did nothing.

I'll get this looked into tomo.

Was this different after today's patch? Or was it always this way for you?

I have a 390x that fried a few days after the warranty lapsed, and Sapphire refused to honor their defective garbage PCB that had an air bubble on a trace that lead to total failure.

Make sure your fans are spinning, and all heatsinks are clean.

AMD cards from back then can't handle high tessellation factors, so you'll have to start cutting back on settings.

Shadows, AA, and Reflections is where I'd start to cut before sacrificing detail.

Hope this helps!

I too have a Sapphire 390x, run basically every game I play on Ultra or equivalent and have zero issues. Clean my PC regularly because where I live a lot of dust is common. Fans all spin no problem. Had this PC for 3 years no with zero issues in any other game. I tried lowering various settings as suggested on forums and Reddit, no luck.

Did you try lowering pre-rendered frames in AMD driver control panel?

Could you tell me how? I cannot find anything of the like in the Radeon software.

I haven't run an AMD card since the 390x failure, so I can't remember what they call the setting, but I think default is 3 frames rendered ahead, which I'd reduce to 1.

From everything I'm finding, AMD has no such setting, at least not anymore. Some say it can be changed if you regedit, but I'm not messing with any of that.

It appears they're calling it Radeon Anti Lag, so just set it to enabled, and it should limit the flip cue, (pre-rendered frames), to one.

I always used ray adams tool for tweaking AMD cards, rather than installing their bloatware.

I've seen symmetric anomalies like yours clear up by a simple re-seating of the card before, but it may be time to start shopping.

The Anti Lag is enabled by default, never turned it off.
I find it very difficult to believe my card has an issue as I have read about others having similar problems AND the fact I have literally no issues on any other game I own.
