Colored spots?

[Doplepopolis]

I'm guessing this isn't a part of the game. Does anyone else have random colored spots showing up? Everything will look fine for a bit, then spots of red, purple, green, etc. will start popping all around. Almost like the game is rendering rain drops hitting surfaces with crazy colors.

These could be artifacts caused by faulty hardware.

Screenshots would help, but yes, it doesn't sound normal.

This is an example. Some times they're everywhere, sometimes just a few. Interestingly, I turned ray tracing on (had turned it off because the game kept crashing almost immediately) and that reduced the artifacts significantly but not entirely.

Do you have an overclock on your graphics card?

I've been seeing these strange colors show up in screenshots of different games in the recent year or two so I'd concur with the above, seems like it might be a driver or graphics card issue. Ensure the graphics card/VRAM are running cool enough, and perhaps try underclocking them as a test to troubleshoot and see if that is a variable.

I'd try an underclock or reinstalling the drivers. How long ago did you get your GPU?

I got it over the summer, it's an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. I've re-installed the drivers but did not think about under clocking. I'll try that and see if the problem goes away. It's just odd that out of all the newer high-end games I'm playing, this is the only one to show significant problems.

That's a CPU, not a GPU. Graphics artifacts might be a sign of a dying GPU.

Please, give more of it. Fascinating...

To detect the problem, use stress tests.
1. GPU (Furmark for example).
2. Memory.
3. CPU.
4. CPU+memory
5. CPU + GPU.
Nothing must crash, no auto reboot, no smell of burn, no visual artifacts on GPU test.

Derped hard on this one. The card is an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. Also got it this summer. I'll try stress testing it and underclocking to see if that helps any.
