Anyone getting weird shadow and light flickering?

[NEMRCOMEDY]

Whenever I move sam or the camera, it's really jarring. The game is all over the place as a result in terms of the lighting. Played around with the settings nothing seems to affect it.

For instance I will even see shadows pop in and out in rapid succession, epilepsy style.

Playing at max everything running at 60fps using 4k down to 1080P DSR, however even with that disabled and at 1080P getting the same thing

Thank you :D

I had this issue in Transformers Devastation (and refunded it as a result), but Vanquish's lighting works fine. If I can get it to happen again, I'll let you know... and rebuy Transformers ASAP because it was awesome otherwise.

Do you have an AMD graphics card, by any chance? I'm curious as to whether Nvidia users run into this as well.

I'm running on Nvidia. No noticeable flickering in Transformers, but a lot in Vanquish.

Any solution yet?
I'm on a 1070 with a gsync monitor. I tried every option in the menu, even changhing the resolution (from 720p to 1440p) and the refresh rate (from 24 to 165), but no improvements.

Nothing so far that i'm aware of. Only hope for a patch.

I actually might have an idea what it is. The shadow flickering might just be from the porting, though only place I've seen it is the first main area were you fight the big honkin robot for the first tim. The lights though...I think that's just the light reflections being screwed with the frame rate. From my testing you don't get the light issue with 30fps as far as I could tell. That COULD explain what's happening here.

[B1ackjack]

I tested at 30 and 60 fps, all the same to me. The scene lighting flickers as a whole.

[Stolvi]

I tested every refresh available in the menu, but nothing, turning the brightness all the way up makes the flickering much more noticeable.

I had an update an hour ago the flickering is still there but on the elevators everyone is "jumping" like crazy :(

Have you opted out of the patch beta. That's what's causing it.

[Stolvi]

Not on the beta since the launch of the official update :(

As in you've alredy opted out from the properties of it on steam?

[Stolvi]

Yes, but after restarting the pc the jumping problem is gone.
Now the only issue is the lighting.

That's a weird one that. It's not as if the lighting's broke, it works fine. I'm thinking it's maybe a flare effect that's gone screwy.

The worst part is that Platinum is completely silent about it as far as i know. No idea if the fix is ever coming.

Platinum are not working on the port. It's Little Stone Software, and you know what to do if you want them to fix it. Mention it in the pinned forum or it might never get fixed. Patience helps too. This flickering would, in my guess, be low priority honestly compared to a lot of other issues reported by players.
