textures/shadows flickering???

[Nickel_JV]

Every single peice of foliage in my world continually switches between low poly and fully loaded every second. The clouds have these weird distortions to them too. Does anyone know how to fix this yet?

[Tiammut]

3070TI. After extensive testing I found the culprit for me at least: Global Illumination Quality. When its on Medium quality it creates the constant shadow flickering of every piece foliage around me and even some distant trees. I have to either set it to high, epic, or low. Either setting removes the flickering for me entirely. Hope this helps.

That kid is trolling hard.

I have a 3060ti and it plays the game perfectly fine at 4k and 60fps.
You just need a liiiitle actual knowledge of computers and graphics settings and just tune things properly to your rig. I have everything on high-epic, 100% resolution scale, 4k with rtx set to performance. getting a solid 60 fps with no drops at all. People just don't know how to use their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pre-built best buy specials and blame anyone and everything other than their own ignorance.

LOL good one , potato 3060 ti isn't even running Minecraft at 4k

3060 ti is literally only put in prebuilts which is why it's a top card on steam hardware survey.

Nobody is gonna waste time building a potato pc

You need 12gb minimum for 1080p without dropping textures

this guy is being dramatic, leave global illumination and textures on epic if you have 8gb or more, high global illumination saves you nothing and you can always turn the fog off and free up some vram with r.volumetricclouds 0 (turns back on every restart)

after every update i'd redo my graphic settings too, starting with the preset, it changes a few things that you can't change individually except via ini config and most of them are expensive.

He's just bullying you all. I set everything to low trying to fix a glitch and now the clouds flicker on everything lowest. Jesus Christ these people and the VRAM. I have 8 Gb VRAM on an RX 6650 XT. I am not over flowing VRAM into system memory.

These people have been just dying to justify their empty VRAM cache's for so long they finally found a game that fills it with a VRAM leak or something. Its ridiculous.

The game genuinely has a ton of bugs right now and this guy is having a manic episode or something over actually using more than 8 GB VRAM for once in his life to justify buying whatever card he's using.

He's like "Its finally happening!!! you need more than 8GB VRAM for 1080p!!!!!" its absurd.

The game is very buggy and these PC gaming cringelords are doing a ton of bullying over hardware compatibility. Unloading their years of pent up buyers remorse on people trying to play a buggy game.

I have a 6GB gpu, Afterburner says I am using 8GB, which is the max it shows...

I have noticed on my PC that when I turn DLSS off the shadow flickering and popping go away but I lose about 10-15 fps so this sucks

Ok then what you do? You come in here saying all that and no solution.

It was foliage interaction,....set "foliage interaction distance limit) to 0.01

[Palicai]

They guy claiming to run a 3060ti is a troll, just look up the 3060 on YT, there is no way he is getting those numbers in 4K, its not possible unless you go heavy into console commands and turn stuff off,making the game look horrible.

My wife uses a 3060ti, belive me we tried to tweak it to playable AND visually nice, it cant be done.

This solves the issue but causes pop in around you as you move so it's what you prefer really. Flickering shadows are lots of foliage pop in as you move.

I fixed all flickering by putting

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.Streaming.PoolSize = 0
r.Nanite.MaxPixelsPerEdge = 2
r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable = 0

[/script/engine.systemsettings]
r.VolumetricCloud.ViewRaySampleMaxCount = 64
r.VolumetricRenderTarget.Mode = 3



In engine.ini (Saved->Config->Windows)

I also gained +5fps while the game is looking even better

I am sorry to ask such a stupid question but: where do I copy them? Yes in the .ini file but I tried it and the flickering is still happening to me. Do I have to copy them anywere in the bottom or?

Thank you!

It should work if you copy it at the bottom of the file, you can check if it even works out for you by using in game console and typing r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable = 0 etc..

If it works then it should also work in engine.ini, I just put it there so i don't have to write everything every time i restart game

Nope, purely because it doesn't have enough vram.

Nvidia screwed 3070/3080 buyers hard

Untrue. i have a RX 6800 16GB vram and i still have the flickering or rather shimmering. i have it in other unreal 5 games too such as icarus. for me actually turning on FSR fixed it in icarus but ASA doesnt have FSR so must be something else other than vram that causes the issue.

[EazyLee]

Ignore those saying it's a vram issue, it's not a vram issue

[EnragedN3wb]

Yeah I have 16GB of VRAM so it's not that. The only thing I found that helps for me is setting Global Illumination to High but it doesn't solve it completely, just makes it less noticeable. With different setups YMMV.
