HELP - Flickering grass and trees
Anyone know what causes this?
Turn on the best quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksdCrhqrJGA&feature=youtu.be
It's much worse in game than it shows in video.
I'd be glad if someone could help me out!

I have recently installed a fresh version of Fallout 4 for another playthorugh. Installed a couple of mods and started. Then i stumbled upon the same problem with flickering grass whenever i move. Couldn´t find any solution online so i kept testing. ( Have been using truegrass mod, switched to another one which made it even worse)

what solved it for me was (i´m using the visceral enb mod) opening the enb menu (default=shift+enter) check the "shading" window and open the enbeffectpostpass.fx bracket. There u can uncheck the "enable sharpening", "enable depth sharpening" and "only show sharpened edges" options.
This is what completely solved it for me, while i didnt have to deinstall any mod to do so.

I know this comes quiet late :D but probably someone else can profit from this as i stumbled into this in 2020^^

Looks like you have dual monitors. Try playing on just one.

Update your GPU drivers.

If you have the free HR Texture pack DLC installed, uncheck it in your library DLC for the game.

Edit; A couple of other things to try are, go to the game's Options menu, set Anti Aliasing to TAA, 8x and in the Advanced menu set Ambient Occlusion to HBAO+[<--you only have that setting available with a Nvidia card]. While you're there, try unchecking the box for "Wetness".

Forgot to mention I'm using Decent enb which comes with its own AO effect.

But yes, I have TAA on, godrays off and wetness off and I'm still having that flicker/shimmer effect on bushes, trees and some other surfaces.
I tried to tweak Nvidia control panel for some fxaa but that doesn't do anything.

Everyone else on forums seem to experience this when moving their character but I see this only when dof effect comes in. Maybe I need to play without it then...

Edit; Ok this is weird...
Apparently turning off "A little bit of green" mod reduces the flicker effect. I have Grasslands installed too but turning that off/on does nothing.

Edit 2; It's not mod related at all: Disabled all mods and the flicker is still there.

Dude thank you so much I just happened to be using the same enb as you. It worked no more eye sores.
