Menu Artifacting

[Gold]

So just installed the game, I played a few years ago and didn't have this problem. Previously I owned a 980gtx nvida, now I own a amd radeon RX 5700 xt.
I've verified my files just in case and i've raised and lowered all the in game settings.
I've also adjusted the radeon options on and off and nothings changed thus far.
What else, I have windows 10 and it was just installed last week or the week before so its new.
I'm out of ideas if anyone else has any suggestions.

Any chance you could go into more detail on how to do that Viking? I'm a bit software illiterate.

EDIT: So I typed %appdata% in the bottom left search bar of Windows 10 - backtracked to appdata instead of roaming, went to local files, CAPCOM, Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen, and found config. Opened it up in notepad and changed JobThread=7 to JobThread=3

Opened up my game after saving the changes and it didn't work. Closed everything down and restarted my PC - still didn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

No, it looks you did that part right. BTW are you using one of the newer AMD video cards? Don't know for sure since I use Nvidia but I don't think they have ever updated their drivers with any fixes for older games yet.

Using a RX 5700XT - that was done with driver 20.12.1 - will update to 21.3.1 that was released on the 24th and see if it fixes

Changed JobThread to 3 in config.ini SOLVED

This didn't fix the problem but it actually did help somewhat. I still get it in some places (e.g. quest details and history) but I don't get it in the equipment menu any more.

Jobthread depends on your cpu, what worked for the other person may be because they had a cpu than ran better on just the main cores. So if you have a 4 core 8 thread try setting it to 3 and if you have 6 cores 12 threads try setting it to 5 and so on.

Same videocard, same driver, getting the same issue. Considering this thread is years old, at this point I'm not expecting AMD to ever fix this, sadly :\

I also have this issue with a 6800xt, frustrating as hell for sure

Have you ppl tried various resolutions and maybe refresh rates?
Or turning off some game/GPU features like Chill or some game specific "graphical enhancements"?
I've read from one person about fixing graphical errors by disabling Depth of Field.

There's gotta be a way.

I have all game specific overrides turned off and none of the fancy settings like chill or enhanced sync enabled.
I have not tried messing with depth of field, though. perhaps I might see some improvements there

[Maraxus]

Nah, everything disabled and the issue persists.
For the record, it's not gamebreaking in any way, it's just ugly.

if actual. u should try dxvk[github.com]
unpackage with winrar( or any programms who can work with tag.gz archive) and copy from x32 folder d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll. past it in main folder of the game (Steam\steamapps\common\DDDA)
its work for me

This! This fixed it for me. I'm using a fork with async cause the googling I did (i.e a reddit thread) said that it might be marginally better 🤷‍♂️

Also to note, if you want to use ENB and haven't because it crashes (like it did for me with a 6600XT) you can goto the [PROXY] section in the enblocal.ini and list this dll (rename it to like d3d9_dxvk.dll or something, because you still need the ENB d3d9.dll). Once you've done that, it'll actually boot! Idk if how it runs is how it does on systems that don't have to work around it, but I personally didn't think the performance hits (and weird very obvious visual glitches) even on supposedly "light" ENBs was worth it, but figured I would still put it out there.
