New Patch is messed up - Graphic/ Light/ Shadow Glitches

[Lupa]

Hey, first time playing Ghost Of Tsushima! We recently made it into ACT III and so far had no graphic issues before.
Just installed the new patch (28.08.24) booted up the game and constantly getting flashbanged now with light and graphic glitches that unfortunately ruin the game.
Changing the graphics to higher or lower doesnt fix anything for me either.
But I also havent tried any specific singular changes.
Also overall the graphic looks way different than before?
Blurry often and washed out even?

I also reported this to the got discord and I am posting it here too, so the devs hopefully notice the issue and work on a hotfix or other solutions before this flies under the radar.
I guess that this might have something to do with the new FSR 3.1 update?
I see other players have the issue too.

I have some video proof that I will link. This is not meant for advertisement or anything, since this happend during stream. This is my first time writing a post like this and I saw no options to upload an anonymus mp4 file? I read the guidelines and this uploaded content is purely here to give an example to the mentioned issue lots of players are facing rn.

Thanks for any help!

FSR 3.1 has its share of new issues tho and makes reshade crash too.

Same here. Started having the same exact issues your describing right after updating.

You may want to clear/reset your shader cache files (display driver and system's DirectX).

Yup the last patch brought some new issues.
I have a RTX 4080, I dont have these weird flashes but the overall graphic quality of the game went down, for me it's overall more blurry and the shadow quality distance is way too low (with very high/ultra shadows quality).

I read that you can rollback to a previous version of the game, you can give it a try :

Or you can right click on the game>properties>beta>select "previous version" .

Thank you, yeah overall such a downgrading update unfortunately. I hope setting to the previous version will fix it!

Had same issue with FSR 3.1 patch: with Frame Generation active, there's a lot of stuttering even on game menu; combined with AMD Fluid Motion Frames, it generates lots of visual artifacts. I hope they will fix it soon. Deactivating Frame Generation is a temporary solution.

still going on

[medion_no]

I just rolled back to previous version for the time being.
