Flickering Light on characters (Video)

[Medusa]

This is a kind of light flicker i get on characters in and around plainsong.
I have seen the same flicker in a main story cutscene, which is outright scandalous as it indicates noone has tested the main story cutscene for PC.
Anyway, here is the bug shown>

I thought the latest patch had fixed this visual flaw, but the video proves otherwise. The game still needs significant improvements in this area. Many game visual bugs still need to be fixed.

It's a problem with the "Bloom" setting versus the body-paint of the Utaru. I'm afraid you have to turn it off when you want to get rid of it.

"idk if people like you are worth time spending on"

I remember when you said that to me once which was totally uncalled for and rude, I could offer my help, but I don't deal with "narcissists"

The game is fine, the issue is the user :)

Maybe devs of games in general should disable bloom when DLSS is used......

[Malcolm]

Yes, same problem here. Not latest path, not latest driver isn't fix the problem. Yea, devs need more make a fix for this "perfect" game.

Would probably sting more if the question hadn't already been answered. Better luck next time I guess. ^^

Ok thanks, I'll do better next time.

Probably because you had an issue that just obviously pointed to your hardware or whatever kind of problem you had and you were just unreasonable, just like you are now...
Being the first to claim narcissism is classic for people who suffer from that mental disease.
Anyway, i don't care; i can make a distinction between visual glitches and game crashes compared to system or user related issues.
If my pc would have crashed while playing this game, i would not have posted a thread on steam but would have been troubleshooting my actual system.

Have a good day.

Hmm, i am using DLAA but that is technically the same of course.
But why is this a problem ?

Disabling Bloom indeed fixes it, but has quite an impact on visuals.
I just wonder how they cannot pick up on this bug when testing.

IF it was a bug, everyone would have it. You are the first i have seen mentioning this at all.

I have newer seen anything like this in the game in my 135 hours. With Bloom ON.

Well i did some testing and i may be able to shed some light on this.
Secondly, some people commented saying they also have this issue.
Disabling bloom is the already known solution.
But i discovered another one: The flashing light happens when i have DLAA enabled
But when i enable DLSS it starts getting less of an issue with each degradative step in quality.
At DLSS performance the issue is fully gone.
However, it seems it doesn't really matter what resolution you play at, it's always DLSS performance that makes the issue go away.
So i figure i may play above 4k with DLSS on performance.
So it seems to be tied to relative render resolution or something. If i play native at those high resolutions the problem instantly reappears.

I didn't even find it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2420110/discussions/0/4365751613885651428/

I never saw it before I reached Utaru land. Far as I can tell it happens only with Utaru tribe members, linked to their white body- and face paint.

So yeah, it's a genuine bug. Reasons you didn't see it: Could be tied to settings, probably higher settings (have everything maxed iirc). Could be your eyesight. Lol, kidding. ^^

Anyway...posts like yours always make me wonder. I try to understand what brought you to defend a game nobody really attacked (bugs happen) and then for a bug you never even saw. Strange.

Good find. I play with DLSS on Quality, so it was definitely noticeable. I disabled bloom in conversations with Utaru tribes people but enabled it afterwards. ^^

A very small minority apparently experience this. That point more to something specific with the hardware and or system.

I run this game 'maxed out' eg: Very High settings in 4K, DLAA, DLSS Q, Bloom, On.
OFF: Vignette, radial Blur, Chromatic Abomination.

No graphical glitches anywhere.
