Missing Lighting / Texture Issues

[Razzor1029]

Please help I have no idea why but I'm having a major issue with missing textures or something I've been playing half the game and seeing it perfectly in all its glory but lately my arrows have a black box around them and not just that but the majority of floors and under trucks or bushes are just missing textures that are just black and I don't know how to fix it. Restarting doesn't help and it even happens during cut scenes. Is there a way to fix it?

Start from checking integrity of game files.
Steam can shockingly often download corrupted files causing all sorts of trouble.

Only solution for this is to quit to desktop and start again.

Happens when you continue the save or randomly at some point in time after you played for some period.

Go report it to ND from the pinned thread. I already did.

Same happened to me after 1.0.1.7. I tried recompoling the shaders like 5 times and it didn't worked. The only thing that worked for me was using dx11 instead of dx12, but I don't see that as a fix.

In this case this not gonna help and better not to do it since he has to rebuild shaders for hours. It's a bug with the game or the engine.

Just to pet you know this is old issue, happens since release. Also side effect from this is you cannot see through scopes, everything will be black.

Sounds like memory leak related issues and improper memory management. Known issue with the game.

But what system specs do you have? Pending how much system RAM and vRAM you have, upping your Windows page file size can sometimes help in these cases. It's more of a workaround to use until the proper fix is implemented.

When this happens the scope is not transparent which ist a game-breaking issue. Before the last patch it usually worked after a restart. Today i restarted 5 times with no success. Then I tried to run the game in DX11 which worked. After that it works in D12 too. Totally random.

I have the same issue here... I already have some hours of gameplay, and I've never noticed any broken textures before. But now that I'm back playing, I've noticed that arrows and foliage have some broken textures. Arrows gets a black box around its feathers and foliage has a green box. Tried everything, including changing the dll, which many says it's an old version with leak memory problems, but nothing worked. Gonna try change to DX11 and back to 12 to see if it helps.

This is old but I found a relatively quick fix, not sure if it works every time but what I do is instead of just hitting continue on a save, I load that save manually from the list of save files. Has done the trick for me every time so far!

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
