Anyone else have cloude issues?
So im having a problem with the sky and clouds. Everything kinda looks ok in the game, But the clouds have some weird artifacts in em.. Like dots and glitching. Playing in 4k, it seems like its getting better when i lower the resolution?

Yup. This is still the case. In 4K, clouds have shimmering artifacts, regardless whether you use DLSS on or off or even DLAA.
Drop the resolution to 1440p and it goes away when using DLSS quality. Bizarre.

Clouds are pixelated at all resolutions.

Ah, the irony, the graphically upgraded version of the game needs us to drop screen resolution and/or turn off graphic elements altogether....classic Wildcard :cozybethesda:

Something else I have found that helps is

r.nanite.maxpixelsperedge 4

...+20fps on my machine(generally)

Hmm. Odd, that is like how far you can see small objects. Its set to max with 4, then you still gain more fps?
yup, clouds flicker like crazy. Just disable them with one of the commands above.

I doubt this will ever get fixed. You'll get way more frames with it disabled anyway.

r.VolumetricRenderTarget.Mode 3
Removes flickering/pixelation

r.VolumetricCloud.ViewRaySampleMaxCount 32
Changes how elaborate the clouds look, you can take it waaay down to 4 if you want, or up to or above 512. Helps if you still want clouds but can live without EVERY SINGLE cloud puff getting lighting effects

Seems like the game has broken since i posted this. I have no clue what is going on with my game. I was usaly having 65-90 fps in game. Now when i log on i have 23 fps. Think i have to delete the game and install it again. Im running a 5800X3D With RTX 4090 and 32GB ram.

I suspect it might been an update or something breaking my game. Ive not played since october. Came in to Lag fest of no tomorrow.
