Weird visual artifact

[ZeroCast]

I've been getting some weird square blocks, they only seem to appear on the sky area of the screen. I am running the game with Medium - High settings on an HD5850, Core i7 860, Windows 7 PC.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Please don't post your PC specs or else we could think about telling you what causes it.

Done, thanks for the reminder.

Try turning down the SSAO. Seems older AMD cards have issues with complex lighting. Sleeping Dogs had similar issues with lighting, lowering it cleared it up. If that doesn't work you can try Global Illumination.

Turns out it's a DoF bug not SSAO. Setting DoF to Off, Low or High will make the artifact disappear, on Medium settings however it appears.

Glad you sorted it out.
