Flickering black/white lighting bug

[Jacky Venizelos]

While the game runs surprisingly well as long as I play it in borderless window mode, I have to deal with one persistent bug that at first killed the opening cutscene for Prague for me and now keeps happening in both the crafting and the augment window. Not sure if it will pop up in other cutscenes but I hope to any gods that it doesn't because it's seizure-inducing.

Here is a link to what I'm talking about, comparison pictures of the augment screen:

Upper image shows the extent of the problem, lit areas turn black. It flickers rapidly.

Things I have tried: lowering the graphics settings and turning absolutely everything down to the lowest possible setting or turning it off. Windowed mode, fullscreen. Nothing makes it go away.

My GPU is pretty old, it's an AMD r7 260, newest driver installed, it was a clean install. CPU is an AMD FX 6300 six core processor 3.50 GHz, 8 GB RAM. Upgrading parts sadly is out of question because I simply can't afford new stuff. Any ideas? Do I just sit this out and hope for the best?

I am having the exact same issue. I have i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz with an AMD 7950 video card.

It seems that sitting it out is the only solution. The patch yesterday didn't fix it either.

Same problem, if you escape out of the menu and tab back in again sometimes it fixes itself

Exact same issue here. This is something that needs to be fixed.

Someone on another thread suggest to spam alt+enter until the problem disapear. It's the only solution so far.

I hadn't even thought of alt-enter as a method of solving it. I got it in two cutscenes in the game too. The first one upon arriving in Prague, second one was the cutscene before/during the final fight. It was pretty painful in both cases.

I wonder if this may be AMD-related somehow since you guys also have AMD cards.

Probably. I've seen that issue on another game (I think it was Fallout 4) when I was using the Radeon Settings option to make shader AMD optimized. But it seems to be a really rare issue that only a few of us experience, so I don't even know if AMD or the devs will actually try to fix it.

Guys, anyone experiencing this issue should fill a ticket here: http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D23A3DE979

It seems to be a AMD related problem and maybe a new driver could fix things.

I have the same problem using my R9 270X card.

Same issue here on R9 280X. I'll try to disable AMD Optimized shaders.

Radeon HD 7950.

Same issue.
Will look up driver settings later.
