Shadow/terrain flickering

[hinti21]

Hey guys,
I have recently bought this game and I notice some weird shadow/terrain flickering from time to time (depending on the camera angle).
Is there a fix for that?

The game is 3-4 years old and they didn't bothered to patch it, so there are some bugs in this game, there is also no anti cheats wich mean that if you want to play online you'll encounter cheaters too that will attack you, the director of this game managed something wich is to spend MB coins on inssurance wich will negate all damage done to your base, you get some for free and you can buy MB coins with real money.

Do note that the game is incomplete too, so try to enjoy the game as much as you can.

Btw they won't fix those issues, the game never had many updates and now they are working on more recent games wich are making the new bomberman and updating Metal Gear Survive.

You are welcome, if you notice some terrain floating don't worry it should be harmless, it's a bit like fallout 3-4 when it comes to bugs and glitchs, if you fall under the map press escape and restart the mission or return to title screen.

I'm guessing the texture flickering happens when trees and stuff are casting shadows on the texture you're looking at? As the sun moves across the sky and the wind blows trees around, it makes sense for the shadow to flicker, so it's a "bug" I could see them leaving in.

No, areas on the ground and on objects change lighting withing seconds (light -> dark -> light -> dark ->...).

you have to set the shadow settings to highest setting for it to go away

Is it happening in a particular environment?

Places with shadow/terrain.

I have only been to the motherbase yet, so not that far in the game. As of now it has only happened in Afghanistan.

I have the same issue now, has anyone found a fix? This didn't happen, not sure if it's a driver problem.

[dantrigger]

I've found the solution to my problem. It seems something changed at driver level as if I use the Nvidia Control Panel Ambient Occlusion setting as recommended in the performance guide I get the flicker but if I disable it in the control panel and use the in-game setting, the flickering stops.

Hope this helps anyone still trying to fix it.

Is it the flickering happening while moving?? I turned motion blur off and that seemed too fix it for me.

yeah shimmering happens cause of fxaa they used, there is an unused taa code in the game that they could have fixed that but then you would get taa, those silly flickerings would be the least of your problems little baby boy
