Blurry cave walls, anyone?

Is it just me, or does anyone notice this when setting to medium-low graphics?

You're most likely out of VRAM, RAM or both and the game doesn't load textures instead of crashing. You can reduce texture resolution to minimize this happening, it might also boost your fps if the game has to constantly swap textures right now(it did for me, playing in 60 fps since a few days, with lower quality textures).

So you're saying I have to lower everything? I'm trying to lower as much as possible to not lower framerate.

I actually found I have to increase the texture size to fix that, but it created at least 1 crash for me.

So larger vram size gfx cards and increasing in game texture quality (size) clears up the playdoh walls.

Okay, that's obvious. But what about the lower vram ones?...

@1CMF what potentially happened for you is the change in texture quality invalidated older ones and those you stared at loaded, but the crash is clear indication you should not increase, but decrease the texture quality, all the crashes in this game I encountered soo far were OOM(out of memory) related, it eats RAM and VRAM like crazy compared to older games and it doesn't even show in quality.


For me I set textures to high(0.25gb), works great for a budget 8gb gpu, it avoided textures not loading as well as crashes which previously ocassionally happened as well as improved my fps.

If your card is maxed out and your settings are maxed out, then you need to upgrade your system.

If your settings are not pumped up, then increase in game texture quality and see if that helps.

Yeah, that's why I hover at 1gb, for a sweet spot of textures, without overly taxing my system into the "red" on in game vram counter.

For the invalidation of older ones, that should not be the case, as I tested this by standing at the fountain in Vermund and anything lower than 1gb the textures would pop back and forth between low resolution and high. Also in caves I would get the same playdoh look at 1gb, but when I pumped it up to 3gb that cleared up the bad textures (but possibly introduced a crash for me later in game, as that was the only crash I ever had and it was after increasing texture size).

Now that you mention it, I don't think I have checked my system that's up-to-date...It could be just that. I'll notify it fixes anything.
