Shadow/light flickering on plants

[Dracon]

So I had this after booting the game up after the Scorched Earth update on The Island.
Was wracking my brain to figure out it, till I finally did.
Global Illumination was causing it set on Medium.
Now here is the odd part, on Low OR High, it works perfectly fine.

Weird huh? Maybe an odd interaction with the current Nvidia drivers or something I dunno but PSA for anyone having similar problems. Try altering Global Illumination settings.

If nothing else set everything to absolute low and see if that works then bring things up till it starts happening again. Thats how I figured it out lol

Working in tech support for a good amount of years has helped me understand that this mostly looks like a lighting issue. Likely with the game engine handling reflections and source lighting. I went through on my own and found the following commands to, for the most part, resolve my issue.

Please use these console commands;
R.lumen.hardwareraytracing 0 (This one is the most important. Note: your game will likely be extremely dark in caves if not entered)
R.fidelityfx.fsr3.reactivemaskreflectionscale 0
R.lumen.reflections.allow 0
R.raytracing.reflections.directlighting 0
R.bloomquality 0
R.contactshadows 0
R.lumen.reflections.allow 0
R.volumetriccloud 0
R.volumetricfog 0
R.dynamicglobalilluminationmethod 0
R.shadow.csm.maxcascades 0

Please let me know if this fixes (or helps) your issues. If it doesn't, please let me know the following:

- CPU
- GPU
- GPU Driver version
- OS (If Windows, please include build number. To find this, hit Win+R and type "winver" without quotations)

Hope this helps!
