UI Artifacting

[1nsane89]

I have just today ran into these weird UI artifacts around straight edges. Everything was fine last week when I played. I do play modded, but I still get the same stuff even with all mods disabled.
Yes I verified my files and I even tried dropping the Graphics preset. it looks like lower the preset the more it happens.

System info:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: GeForce RTX 4080 Super
Monitor: Acer XB271HU

Well, I have tried even uninstalling but no change. The only thing I can think of at this point being different from last time I played is that I think I installed NVidia App, because it kept pestering me about it...

I have the same thing. RTX 3080 10G. nvidia 572.42

I had the same thing, then the game wouldn't start up.

The issue is related to the new NVIDIA drivers/ DLSS 4, you may need to either revert to your previous driver installation or in when installing the drivers go Custom Advanced -> perform clean installation.

Commenting to add that I am having the EXACT same problem!
It looked like it was happening in other games (Warframe mainly when in the Foundry, so same reason - straight edges) but after a driver update I no longer see this in Warframe, but I still see it in Satisfactory.
Timeline wise too.. dang... it does seem to correspond with the acquisition of the stupid Nvidia App program. Grr... Welp, hope it gets fixed sooner than later. At least it's not SUPER annoying.... sort of.

Tried a clean install, still a nope.

Lets just hope nvidia gets their asses in gear, instead of making power cables that burn out if you look at them funny

have you found a fix yet?

[Titanium Jesus]

There is no fix. As I posted in general for people like you fine folks; the issue lies with nvidia's latest couple of drivers. These drivers are also responsible for the game turning into a 6fps slideshow after running for a minute or two as another side effect.

Idk about 4080s, but this really could help.
My 3080 was doing this when I got it, this year. The only solution I found was using a DDU (display driver uninstaller) from Guru3d to completely wipe every graphic driver I had with Nvidia, (Nvidia tends to not always get rid of all traces of the last one you had installed), then going to Nvidia's website and looking for my card's drivers and installing each new driver, one by one, going from newest to oldest, also making sure I used the DDU each time before I did a new one.

It was tedious.. BUT when I got to the driver from early November of last year, these lines on my UIs were gone.

You should try doing this, looking at drivers from round November 3rd. Go as far as you can forward on the updates until you see the artifacts again. Keep the last driver that doesn't artifact.

Like I said, idk about 4080s, but I imagine it's similar. These are the exact artifacts that were driving me mad. I saw nothing wrong with any other graphics except for my UI in more than a few games, and this is exactly what it looked like. They would sometimes crawl round and flicker.

But I did not have a problem with my card like i thought. I did not need to RMA and I don't think you need to either. This seems to be Nvidia's drivers that are at fault.

P.S. - Obviously, you should only do this if the problem is happening with today's current drivers. I got to the conversation kind of late.. and I've stayed on what I've stayed on since I found the fix. But I REALLY hope this helps.

Can confirm this still happens with latest drivers. Will be trying your fix and reporting back. It's not really "minor"....it's all over the interface and in random places. Even tried turning off DLSS so it's not even a DLSS issue..........just a NVIDIA one. >=\

force run vulkan api in launch settings rather than dx12, seems to work for me

Worked for me as well, so never got around to the driver rollback. Performance seems a little bit off, but on my system, it's not super noticeable, only because I've spent 200+ hours in DX12 mode lol

that works

I'm going to give this a try next time I play.
