New performance update is not perfect

[Dopey Shepard]

There are flickering shadows everywhere, especially you can notice that with Wanted Board, in the top right corner for me I always see these shadows popping up/flickering. It's quite disturbing to my eyes, almost makes me sick in a way

As for the vehicles, basically the shadow quality is now worse. That's how we get these extra frames

My shadows setting is the same, its about 70, and lowering/increasing that value seems to have no impact on the shadow quality itself

I wish there was an option to just reverse to original shadows, really, or a choice to go back to previous game version

I only have a humble RX 580 and I was getting my 60 fps on average graphics preset that I had been using for so long now, I feel like getting this janky 70-80 fps that I'm getting now is just not worth it cuz of the bad shadows


Also, on a side note, I'm not sure if this is the game or just me, but this 70-80 fps doesn't quite feel right to me. I know it feels more fluid and better in other games. In here, I almost feel sick moving my camera around (yes, I do have high refresh monitor). There's no motion blur option. Idk, is it maybe screen tearing? I know I have my VRR option turned ON in AMD software and in the monitor. I even tried turning on Vsync - nothing

Idk, maybe it's just me but older framerate of 50-70 that I had before this update felt more consistent and didn't really make me sick, enough so that I lasted for 2 100~ days long challenge runs. With this new update I can't play consistently, my eyes start hurting which doesnt happen with other games. I can only do a couple of days at a time before taking a break


p.s. the update also features larger letters in the documents, like the previously used font +1 in size which I'm indifferent to. Just felt new, needs getting used to. Not sure if it was necessary, hopefully it will be for some people

I've pretty much the exact same issue, played it extensively in the past with smooth fps now feels choppy even though the reading is well above 100, gonna try and limit it at 60 and see what happens

hey, thanks, bro, I knew I wasn't the crazy one!

I play other games at 80 fps and they look way smoother

Tried various permutations of lower fps with and without vsync, nothing. The issue remains and it's only when moving the cursor, objects like other cars move at the proper smoothness

[Dopey Shepard]

exactly, moving camera around kinda makes me sick now. Previously I could play for many days in a row. Now I can only handle 1-3, and I don't have any motion sickness or anything!

Why won't the devs revert it back?

[FrankB]

Diagnostics on software is hard, many permutations of hardware, they'll figure it out but for the time being I'll go back to the game in the future. Right now it's almost unplayable for me.

[Dopey Shepard]

Yeah, same. I wish I could go back to challenge mode for the third time. I literally just can't

An issue I have now is some buildings are not rendering for a while after I return from a chase.
