Weird graphic glitch in 1995.

[Raistlan]

It has these weird red lines all over that move when anything on the screen moves, but not lined up at all. Is anyone else seeing these?

Bumping to see if I am the only one who sees this. Still happening to me. :(

I would advise you to check the experiences for your specific graphics card brand, model, or generation. There are some rare cases where certain artifacts show only on specific models, like what an ARC video card does with DX11 lighting effects. No other cards render it that bad. Maybe you could even try to contact your brand's support or check on their forums.

I have had this GTX 3080 for 4+ years, without seeing this type of artifacting. The "present day" part of the game is perfectly fine, so I imagine it's something to do with a filter they put on the 1995 scenes that renders this way for me.

Among other video cards, I was testing the game on the RTX 3070 too. It didn't show artifacts like on your screenshot. However, Nvidia had an extremely high rate of "broken by design" cards on sale. All sorts of stuff, including having fewer shaders than specified. That's why it is hard to generalize and say, "My RTX 5090 works, so should yours too." Additionally, it's possible that it's just yours—a simple hardware defect. "It works with other games" is irrelevant.

Can't really check it, don't want to make empty speculations, and don't want to write a whole book listing all possible causes. Try writing to Nvidia support and see what they say.

While hard to say from a distance if it's a hardware problem or not, I've personally seen similar stuff happen with a driver install that was fubar as well as cards that were about to kick the bucket, I would cautiously agree that it might be the effects shader used in those parts - specially if it doesn't happen in other UE5 games and/or only in the '95 segments.

There are a couple of easy-ish thing you might want to try if you haven't already:

- Verify the game file. It doesn't help that often, but not doing it helps even less. ;)
- Try deleting the shader cache. Should be in ..\Steam\steamapps\shadercache\1902960\
- Perform a clean reinstall of your GPU driver. As in complete remove it with DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), perform a reboot, then reinstall.

Is the GPU some "OC from the factory" model? I had cards that were acting up in some titles over the last two decades... sometimes a small underclock with something like MSI Afterburner does help.

How are the GPU temps while playing btw? The card, while not ancient isn't a spring chicken either, sometimes the thermal paste gets crusty over the years and doesn't do so good anymore. Not saying you should tear it down and reapply unless you at least kinda know what you're doing. Ruining an otherwise working GPU in the current hardware market would suck.
