Annoying graphics glitch

[Gengari]

So im trying out the demo and the game is running perfectly fine for me on high settings, but after im done with the tutorial and im in this desert, the NPCs and myself keep getting these... twitches?

Like, their clothes/models just start twitching and "glitch" i guess, its not nice to look at, especially since it happens so often.... is this something thats known and can get patched or is it just me?

Its not even only the Characters, objects like flags at that gas station twitch around too

[Dethevn]

Had the exact same glitch, honestly main reason I'm not buying the game. Hopefully it gets patched.

I got this too...I managed to fix the "twitch" by setting the FPS cap to 60...whenever I try to use 120 fps that's when I would get the "twitch"

[Gengari]

interesting, lowering the Framerate cap to 60 fixed this problem for me. Thanks for that, but still i would prefer if they fixed this stuff

I'm getting this in the full game. Funny story about my experience, though.

I ran the demo at 60FPS max under Windows 10, and I wasn't getting those glitches.

I started playing the full game today at 60FPS max under Windows 7, and I got the clothes glitching. I didn't switch to 120FPS until after chapter 2 began, so I don't know if the rain is affecting things, but I stopped getting those glitches.

I'm using Windows 7 now because I was having issues with Windows 10. (Nothing to do with Final Fantasy XV.) Now I want to reinstall Windows 10 and see if the glitches still appear.

physics are likely bugging out at high framerates.

Hm... The only thing I didn't do with regards to changing graphics settings was to go down to 30FPS. Well, I did for a few seconds, but it was so awful! I'd rather have glitches than play at 30FPS.

100% clothing flicker fix!, Overall stability fix!
was having the same clothing flicker from the demo, also noticed the frames where pretty janky, went into the _commonredist folder in the game directory to see if directx and vc_redist where up to date and baaaam! i didn't have both vc_redistx64 and x86 (2015) installed....BUT it wouldn't let me install them, it kept showing an error!

Fix: uninstall the vc_redistx64 and 86 (2017) versions in your installed apps

This will allow you to install the (2015) versions that come with the game.

all clothing flicker gone, and the fps is waaaaaay more stable....i mean waaay more!

good luck! it worked for me, i'm sure it will work for you too!

I'm getting these clothing/physics glitches too. Everything about the game is smooth except this. It's extremely distracting and annoying. If this doesn't get patched I'll have to return it. I've tried turning off and on every setting there is.

Seems to be a bug. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon, but it is funny seeing clothes freak out or the car bounce every once in a while for a second.

Marking this post incase I run into this issue. I have not so far.

This didn't work for me.

I used the installers to repair the existing installs, and it didn't help. I then uninstalled the x86 and x64 2015 from the control panel and reinstalled from the FF15 commonredist folder, and it didn't help. I finally installed x86 and x64 2017 (which I didn't have installed), and that didn't help.

I saw this other topic. http://steamcommunity.com/app/637650/discussions/0/1692662484258688901/

Look at #3. I do have hyperthreading turned off (unless a BIOS update changed that and I forgot to change it back). It looks like if you don't have hyperthreading at all, you're screwed. I'll reboot my computer after downloading the HD texture pack and enable hyperthreading in my BIOS again.

[Gamma Ray]

It was a very brief test I did, but after enabling hyperthreading, I stopped seeing the clothes glitching. I was able to see the glitching right after loading my save every time before enabling hyperthreading, so I'm pretty confident that if the glitch was going to be reproduced for me now, it would have been occurring already.

If you don't have hyperthreading on your CPU at all, then you're likely out of luck until the next patch.
