Graphic Glitches with Radeon RX570

[th4]

Hello, I'm having constant graphic glitches that look like this: https://i.imgur.com/QqDTpcT.jpg

It makes the game unplayable, a lot of times you can't even see where you're going.

I've tried messing with the settings, both in-game and with the AMD control panel but I haven't found a way to fix it, if anything if only gets worse (flickering, flashes, etc.).

Has anyone got the same problem or any idea on what I could do to fix it?

Is your card overclocked ?

Nope, no overclock, other 3d games run fine with no glitches...

Could it be something wrong with Nvidia Physx since the card is AMD?

EDIT: I've tried now reinstalling the Physx runtimes and doing more tinkering with settings, somehow it improved the situation but I still get glitches.

Some levels are completely playable while others are a complete mess, I'm now at the spiders cave in area 2 and the background at the beginning is flat orange and get random solid spikes instead of ray of lights :(

Well, Maybe you could try updating your drivers. That's the only remaining thing I see.

Already updated to the latest 21.3.2 :( Thanks anyway for trying to help~

I do have a similar problem but before it was perfect, so I'm pretty sure it's some kind of driver regresion. Not the same card tought, R9 390 paired with R7 1700.
I've also have some graphic driver crashes since the last update.

Well I've tried all this drivers:
21.3.2
21.3.1
20.11.2
20.9.1
20.4.2
20.1.3
19.12.2
And It's still the same.
Game used to work perfect before (about two months ago), right now it's unplayable.

I've spent a couple of hours messing with in game settings, Radeon settings and PhysX dlls, I think I've found a combination of things that doesn't give me glitches (revisited some levels that always glitched and they were fine).

I'll try to explain what I did.

In the /bin game folder I backed up:

* PhysXCooking.dll
* PhysXCore.dll
* PhysXLoader.dll
* cudart32_30_9.dll

Installed the latest PhysX drivers from here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-19-0218-driver/

Then I went to the installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX)

Copied all files from the /Common folder in the game directory, overwriting the old ones

Made a copy of cudart32_65.dll overwriting cudart32_30_9.dll.

Started copying all files that weren't present from the various folders in the /Engine directory. I've probably copied a lot of unnecessary stuff here, like various APEX_*.dll and an ImplicitLibs folder (don't know what I'm doing >.<).

Tested various alternatives for PhysXCore.dll and ended up keeping the highest version that doesn't crash the game, which was the one in the "B1E4CC1EB042" folder, version 2.8.4.11).

Game folder now looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/RlgFmcK.png

Then I've tried various radeon settings until I've settled with this: https://i.imgur.com/elsv2TG.png (sorry it's in italian)

In game I've put everything maxed with vsync on.

If you want I can make a zip file with the PhysX dlls, probably there's a lot of unnecessary stuff, maybe the dlls from the /Common folder and the PhysXCore.dll from the B1E4CC1EB042 folder are enough but now I'm tired of trying :p

[genzo16]

That's a great find. I've replaced the physx libraries and the environment issues completely disapeared, unluckly in my case, enemies characters geometry is still garbled.
I'll keep experimenting with physx libs, maybe... most probalby I'll end up uninstalling it and move on to another game haha

Yeah one shouldn't have to put so much effort just to play a game ffs, I hope they patch it somehow >.<

Anyway have a nice time and thanks for the contribution :D

Technically this game does not need any kind of patches. Issue(s) are related to drivers & OS.

I know this because I have multiple systems (RX560, RX570, Nvidia etc...) and game runs fine under Linux, Ubuntu, with Valves Proton.

Linux and Windows users downloads 100% the same game files.

Same issue here. Game is unplayable on my Radeon RX580.

[HoLYAssAsIN]

I use RX480 and have the same issues. What works for me so far is changing to windowed mode, close the options menu and then reopen it and change back to fullscreen.

[th4]

Given it's probably a conflict with driver version and Physx (as retro_ED also said) I suggest people who have the same issue to file a bug report with the AMD report tool in the Radeon drivers settings.

I don't know how receptive they are with fixing stuff for old games but maybe if enough people point this out they will look into it and issue a fix.

[Rattlor]

yeah, exactly the same problem here, RX570, played it years back with an older graphic card, had no troubles then.

Edit: yeah, going window mode then fullscreen again, before you start a game, seems to really fix it. After a while, it will appear again in a new level, then you have to restart and do the windowed-fullscreen thing again.

u must delete windows update KB5001330 for windows 10 2004 (20H1) or KB5001337 for windows 10 1930 and 1909.
Settings->Update and Security->Windows Update->View update history-> delete and find Security Update for Microsoft Windows(KB5001330)

game will start in window mode then in settings choose fullscreen
