Graphic Glitch On Cutscenes

[1142]

Hello Ghosts,
So I've decided to buy this game on sale and I'm starting to regret buying it even with 80% discount...
I ran into many topics here and Reddit where people complain that this game crashes randomly and is barely playable, but I still have hope someone could help.

So my problem is graphic glitches during cutscenes and shopping. The screen turns mostly purple with a lot of colourful artifacts. That's best I can describe it. Then there's a lot of stuttering and the game crashes, turning screen black and forcing me to restart PC, cause it's unresponsive.
After first two accidents I updated my drivers, but it happens again anyway.

It happened on Vulkan and DX11 both. At first I thought maybe my VRAM isn't handling it, but then I switched settings so it takes half of VRAM only, but the problem still occurs.

Any clue, anyone?

Screen going purple with colorful artifacts is a classic sign of a gpu that is about to die, even worse if the screen is turning off.

Make sure your video drivers are updated and that your gpu isn't overheating, but you might need to buy a new gpu very soon.

Although I agree with Kuma here, I want to point out that, at least for me this game always starts in Vulkan mode no matter what setting you use. You can verify this with MSI Afterburner's OSD or ~. Maybe yours is different but you need to verify the API it's using.
So, as discussed around here before, to force DX11 you need to add this line to your launch options.
"Your drive:\Steam\steamapps\common\Ghost Recon Breakpoint/grb.exe" %command%
or for vulkan
"Your drive:\Steam\steamapps\common\Ghost Recon Breakpoint/grb_vulkan.exe" %command%

Some have issues with 'overlays' creating conflicts ,disabling them helps . I never need to.

Both steam and UBI have overlays.

Overlays are turned off, it's not it

I certainly hope it's not the case... This is the only game that causes such problem. GPU highest temperature is 80'C as shown by Armoury Crate. When I tried Wildlands on my old laptop, when temperature went too high, the game just dropped fps to cool GPU off.

This is workaround if you're opening via Steam, no? I just use shortcut GRB.exe. There's noticable difference between Vulkan and DX11, I'm sure it's DX11.

that's correct, for Steam launches via steam made desktop shortcut or directly from Steam games list.
I guess that depends on who/what made the shortcut and whether you bought from Steam.
The only way to know for sure is to have something like afterburner verify which api is in use.

Regarding RMJ's post, Graphics cards do show signs of stress/imminent GPU failure from heat (sparkles). AND they can also exhibit bad memory issues (blocks/lines) on screen.
p.s. I personally can't tell the difference between Vulkan and DX11 on my 6700xt. which.. should I mention again, I use afterburner to keep me informed.

I have been having the same problem and at first I also thought it was my GPU, but the objectives and subtitles are still displaying clearly without any artifacts so I don't think it is the GPU.

One easy thing to try is a new high speed cable HDMI/DP. That's a lot of info being moved around and a crappy cable/old tech could be an issue.
