Terrible water bug, when the texture was immersed in the water under water, flashed and blinking

[Klaustreich]

I decided to play as Origins, but I ran into a terrible water bug, when the texture was immersed in the water under water, flashed and blinking. Although the rest of the game went very productively. The problem was decided by kicking the drivers to the earlier 456.55
If someone needs to be happy))

Thank you for reporting this to us, we're glad to hear you were able to get around this.

Do you know which specific Update this is occurring on and which GPU are you using?

Would you be able to provide a video of the issue occurring?

[UbiBaron]

Thank you for providing that, we will pass that on to the team.

Just to confirm, as active development has ended for the title, it may be that this will not be addressed as there is a workaround for this with the older drivers.

The issue is still present on the latest 471.68 Nvidia drivers. I am playing on an RTX 2080 Ti. I can provide further feedback if necessary.

Dont bother. Its an issue that will never be corrected. Game support by Ubisoft has ended, and NVIDIA/AMD most likely will not fix either for a game barely played anymore.

Nvidia is usually great at fixing bugs that were created by their driver updates. I opened a ticket and a forum post about this issue. Shouldn't take too long for it to get noticed as it's instantly replicable.

Yea i hear you but its doubtful anything will be done. This has been an issue for a very long time. If something does end up being fixed than great, but I wouldn't hold my breathe,

This is a bug in the game, the developers chose to ship with a broken renderer and now expect Nvidia and AMD to fix up their mess

D3D11 ERROR: ID3D11DeviceContext::OMSetRenderTargets: The RenderTargetView at slot 0 is not compatible with the RenderTargetView at slot 1. It is only possible to render to multiple RenderTargetViews if the effective dimensions of the Views are equal, as well as the Resource types, multisample count, and multisample quality. The RenderTargetView at slot 0 has (w:256,h:256,as:1), while the Resource is a Texture2D with (w:256,mc:1,mq:0).

Yes the old driver had a workaround, but no, drivers should not be required to work around these in the first place, games should not be shipping broken.

Older driver is not a workaround, new hardware may not even support those drivers, end of activate development does not mean that games should remain unfixed, companies should have responsibilities for sotware they sell and even old games should get a new patch at least once a year to fix critcial game breaking bugs (be it gemeplay, sound or graphics or other feature breaking bug) and all broken things and to enhance compatibility with new software and hardware. Lifetime maintenance patches for all the commercially sold software should be legal obligation for all sotware companies.

Thank you for your feedback v00d00m4n, it has been noted to the relevant teams, however in the meantime we still cannot confirm any additional updates will be made to the game.

Should this be change at all in the future, we'll let players known.

Thank you for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Has there been any progress made to this? It definitely takes away from the experience and is actually in the game breaking area for many people. It sucks because I really like the game, to the point that I bought it twice, on PS4 and PC (Uplay that's why it's not in my Steam library) and I'd really like to be able to play it normally without using incredibly outdated drivers..

Thats is a generic answer Ubisoft uses but Origins support ended already. No more updates will be made to the game.

Only thing that can be done is to report issue to AMD/NVIDIA to fix the issue.

Hey there Wik_Thor, thank you for getting in touch. As kindly mentioned by my colleague and animal_PLANET above, it's important to note that the game's life cycle has concluded. This means that the remaining issues will likely not be addressed. That said I welcome you to continue sharing any thoughts or feedback you may have regarding the visual water issue within this thread, and I will be sure to also pass this along to the dedicated teams.

This is quite sad and disappointing to hear, however not unexpected.

I am no shader modding expert, but I have seen modders injecting custom shaders into previous games such as AC: Brotherhood to hide the white haze always visible at the top of the screen.

Perhaps something similar can be done to address the Water Shader Glitch, as it seems to be directly related to a poorly coded shader that got broken when Nvidia removed a workaround in their drivers.

We understand hearing this news is sad and disappointing, for this we are deeply sorry.

Hopefully, as you mentioned a mod will come along that can help address this.

If you need anything else please let us know.

Thank you.
