Field/ground flickering when below 60fps

[Dume]

It's pretty simple, the surface of the ground (mostly noticible on fields but also the ground under grass as well) flickers when ever i drop below 60fps and is to the point of giving me an actual headach.

Tried catching a video however free versions of software are usually ♥♥♥♥ (and i don't get shadow play i have an AMD card) and the frame rate in the video is horrid as well as also doesn't appear to be showing up in the vid (i presume because the video is so jittery.)

Alright, in this case post your log.txt here please.
I will check what we can do on your issue.

More details, the vidoes aren't showing the flicker just the ground going blurry and stutters allot, my computer isn't ment for any meaningful recording.

The bug only happens when the camera is moving and am running below 60fps if i'm still it's fine, only seems to affect the ground and shadows (Vehicles are fine). the texture becomes brighter before going back to its normal darkness and varies between a medium pulse and quick flicker depending on the mood it's in.

Also noticed that it's very noticable on trees

Two videos kind of managed to catch it pre rendering but in the video the flicker turned into more of a blurr.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuCPquuY_YA&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=LostPup
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUm-dp5NxpE&feature=youtu.be

The second catches it pretty well in the trees to the right and the field where the crop is.

[Dume]

Reporting more on it, I'm seeing it most on trees/bushes andon a harvested Canola crop the little stems that're left flicker a hell of allot it's why you see it again in the second video because it's freshly harvested. you don't get the flicker with grass or on a sowed field, just seems like it's most plants/leafs that flicker this way.

[Dume]

Actually just remembered i replaced my grass textures to fix issues http://www.fsmods17.com/fs17-grassmipmap-v-1-0-texture-fs17/

That stumped huh?.

[Dume]

Nothing?.

[grinderman1418]

Looks like i have the same problem, any news, help or update on this ? thank you

[Dume]

flickering and crap is still there, i'm putting it down to their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 9 year old engine. the term "Polishing a turd" comes to mind when i think of how ♥♥♥♥ the performance is compared to how it looks. Oh you want to see crops growing more then 20m infront of you? HA!.

I replaced my GPU with an Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming (6GB) and bought a new screen. I was noticing some other flickering and turned out my old BenQ was dieing but even with a brand new GPU and screen it still persisted.

Has to be one of the worst developers i know because of their reliance on old ♥♥♥♥♥♥ engines that can't perform and well, scroll up and you'll see how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ usless their help support is.

[Randy]

Where is the problem? Ive watched the videoes 10 times and i dont see any flickering at all..

[Daniel]

Do you have tryed to play with the control panel of you video card driver..., sometime it's can correct problem like this,

me too i don't view any problem in your video, so i am pretty sure it's a problem with the control panel you can adjust, but i am not an expert ha ha ha

for the Nvidia it's "Nvidia control panel", for the "AMD" i think the program it's "Crystal", but i don't remember well.
