Rotfiend explosion bug - Artifacts all over screen

I am on PC. Sorry if this is a repost!

Myself and few others I have seen on this forum (http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/38980-Rotfiend-explosion-bug?highlight=rotfiend) suffer from the following bug when Rotfiends explode. Basically a massive amount of artifacts appear and the screen goes crazy! I don't think I noticed it when the game was first launched (i.e. pre patch 1.02) but I could be wrong.

Here is a video of the issue.

I thought it was my GPU at first but as I am on 980 Sli I tested both cards independently, in different PCI slots and it happened over and over again which led me to think it was the game. It is not my PSU either as this does not happen with any other game at all.

Specs:
i7 4770k (Stock)
16GB Ram
2 X GTX 980 Sli (EVGA SC ACX FACTORY OC)
Samsung 850 Pro SSD 1TB
Corsair AX760 PSU
Windows 8.1 64bit

Really hope it can be fixed!!

Thanks for making such an awesome game by the way!!!

I get this as well. I also have similar specs.

This big difference for me is that it stops once the pieces hit the ground and they only appear black, no red that I have noticed.

i5 3570k OC 4.2 Ghz stable
16GB Ram
GTX 980 Gigabyte G1
Samsung 850 Pro 256GB
Corsair 650 PSU
Windows 8.1 64bit

just curious what motherboard you all have.

currently in common: gtx 980, win 8.1?

That's a rare one for me but i got same bug sometime near game release

Doubt it's the specs since I have completely different ones, not even using an Nvidia card either. Rotfiend bug happened once for me early on, probably 1.01 or 1.02, and never happened after that play session ever again, though the session it did happen in got a bit buggier after the initial Rotfiend explosion. Physics totally broke for deaths and some bombs had the same graphic bug as well.

It is a video card driver problem or the hardware is damaged. I had the same graphical artefacts years ago with my gtx460 when I was playing Dead Space 2 .. and the GPU was fucked so .. bought a new card. BUT .. it could be just the drivers!

Tried both of my cards by themselves in top slot and bottom slot. Can't be two defective GPU's surely?

I'm not getting a bestiary entry for the rotfiends. I'm assuming this is because they explode before I can kill them.

I encountered the same issue some days ago. Since then I haven't dealed with Rotfiends... I thought it may be just my graphics card which got too hot.. but oh well, look at that.

I think it even happened in the same location you can see in the video of the OP. Maybe it happens only there?

When I dealt with Rotfiends on Fyke Isle (back in version 1.02 or 1.03) everything worked fine.

well, i just ran into this bug. seems to occur when multiple rotfiend explode in proximity. the vertex shaders go bonkers.
