Does everybody have this issue??

[connsmitty]

I know most people know about the texture flickering that occurs when you reload the game and your old tire marks load in and out. I want to know who CURRENTLY doesn't have this problem and what your basic system specs are.

I currently have the issue and my basic specs are 13900k and RTX 3090

texture flicker sometimes it depends on the map

terrain resets will always happen when you change maps or exit/load game thats normal

ryzen 7 2700x and rtx 3070

[Rragar]

I have not yet noticed flickering of any sort, played the game for 1000+ hours.

i7 10700K, RTX 2070 Super Max-P, 32 GB of RAM @3200 Mhz in dual channel, running the game from an M.2 SATA SSD drive.

Does it happen on a specific map, or do you see it everywhere? If it's a specific map, let me know and I can do some tests.

i see it in the distance sometimes when i am at a very high point in a map, the lod textures in the background will sometimes flicker, i dont remember which i saw it on

Yes I get that flickering. It goes away when the terrain is reset. 13500 and 3070. It does not bother me.

interesting. I first noticed the flickering on Yukon. Finished all the contracts there and went to british Columbia 100% that map still flickering. Then went to Don russia and 100% that map and it was very bad flickering. I'd like to know if you get the same flickering as me. Keep in mind i've played all these maps AFTER the bug was "introduced" into the game. I think some say season 10 it was.

I never noticed it on Alaska, Michigan, Taymyr, Kola peninsula, or Wisconsin. I do notice it frequently in Ontario though. I usually just ignore it, but it is annoying for sure.

I5-7600k and RTX 2070

[Qrazy]

I see it randomly happen on objects or maybe trees. It happens so infrequently that I rarely notice it.

I'll run some tests and report back.

I don't get it much, it's was only in very specific areas. I did have a few trucks near this particular spot, so maybe I churned the ground up a lot. I just put it down to z-fighting.

I saw some occasional flickering of tree shadows, but it was not pervasive. I carved a good set of tire tread marks on Don and tried returning to the main menu and heading back in, driving away and returning, and also recalling to the garage and then returning, but did not notice anything unusual, and no flickering.

Maybe it's related to the settings?

I have the following graphics settings set to OFF:

- FXAA
- Motion Blur
- Sharpening
- Film Grain

Everything else is set to the highest possible option. Resolution is 1920x1080. If you don't have those set to off, can you attempt to disable them and see if that changes the flickering behavior for you?

I will give these settings a try. maybe you are on to something here.

[Nick Vascuas]

I get this randomly as well.

Lower your gfx settings to medium, it really doesn't make much difference in who the game looks but it runs so much better. I am running 3440x1440 in medium @ 100fps smoothly with slightly better specs than you but nothing crazy.

People talking about trees and graphics settings are muddying the issue as OP's point is about the terrain deformation tracks trucks leave behind.
They are unrelated.

What I've noticed - you can drive back and forth laying down tracks on a map without issue. The problem comes from switching to another map, or quitting out, then coming back. The map gets wiped clean except for where there's any parked trucks or trailers. Here a radius around them gets saved.
It's this saved area that suffers from the texture z-fighting.

Changing graphics settings makes no difference to this. I spent a while altering each setting in combination and individually from low to ultra. Also Motion blur, AA, FidelityFX, film grain, v-sync, fps limit... no effect.
(For what it's worth I have a 3070Ti, normally everything ultra, 60fps V-sync on at 1080P because of an old TV as a monitor.)

It's unrelated to camera position, and is more affected by position of the vehicle you're in. Park up and move the camera around and there will not be any track texture jitter. They seem to default to invisible 90% of the time.
Move the truck and this is when the textures jitter on and off.

Took advantage of this and used photo mode to capture some examples.

Sawmill in Yukon. Had a truck sat at the dock saving the tracks from the Derry making regular visits.

High contrast of snow makes the effect most noticeable but it happens everywhere. Even Michigan so it's not confined to the season maps.
But again back to Yukon - here's a closeup of vanishing tracks in mud. Warehouse bay where again the Frightliner had been parked up as a supply crane for other vehicles.

Took some effort to catch that as the chewed mud textures are almost instantaneous in flicking in and off when the truck is almost on top of them.

FIZZYMUS you have my exact issue spot on. I was gonna try the graphics settings today but saw your post. I think the devs plans are to not fix bugs on purpose, release expeditions in a more playable state so people buy it.
