Alloy flickering clothes?

[linas.warrior]

Anyone noticed weird "flickering" of some sort on the lower part of the Alloy armor when moving (not running)? It's kinda hard to describe. Feels like something is off with with clothes physics. Maybe something to do with in-game fps? I tried TAA, DLAA, DLSS, XeSS, FSR, Vsync on/off and various other options. And it seems the only way to fix this is to enable ENABLE frame generation. This eliminates the problem, but I would prefer to play without frame generation as it gives some shimmering on foliage.

Are you on exclusive full-screen? Thats all I can think of

I get flickering off NPCs and stuff sometimes too, it actually gets pretty bad sometime, they are like mini flashbangs

I solved it by choosing exclusive fullscreen and then limiting my fps to 100hz. It seems this issue is related to physics not working correctly when fps is too high.

Same issue here. Usually console first games are optimized and thoroughly tested for 30 or 60 FPS only. As soon as you go higher with FPS physics, especially in older engines, start to get weird. If you want to completely eliminate the problem you can lock your framerate to 60 FPS. Then it will work without frame generation. If you enable frame generation you can lock your framerate to 120 FPS and it will still work, because internally only 60 frames are generated by the engine. These physics problems are in many older (but also current) games, which drives me nuts occasionally. I don't like frame generation either and playing with 60 FPS is unbearable for me too, but in these cases we have no choice unfortunately.

One thing the developers can do to mitigate this problem is to lock the physics internally to 60 FPS. That way it will never glitch out, but it will be rendered a bit slower then everything else, depending on how high the FPS is.

Read in a different thread that turning off bloom in the settings helps with the flickering

Had the same issue with npc's clothing in Plain Song but the last patch seems to have fixed it my end
