Graphical Glitches after 1.08?

Graphical Glitches after 1.08?

So i installed the 1.08 update the other day. And suddenly i noticed some serious problems of shadow flickering in some areas, in particular in the place where you first enter velen, around the tree with the hanging corpses. There's a fence nearby and the shadows there just flickers like crazy. Someone else noticed this?

YES. At the first map (so at the beginning of the game) at Nilfgaardian Garrison. (the place you get the contract to kill your first Griffin)

If you enter the double door, (after the stairs) - entering works OK. But if you exit the door, the door flickers like hell. lol

I see flickers a lot now actually as well. Thought it was just me. I notice it more in Skellige though..

First time I noticed this is when I did the Black Pearl Quest and walked past the wrecked boats on the shoreline. This is all after I installed the 1.08 patch though as I only played the 1.07 patch for a few mins before waiting for 1.08. So Grindders may be right. The flickering may have started even back in 1.07.

CDPR, gives the fans free DLC , as well as patches that break and downgrade more things instead of fixing them.

The strange part is that, the shadow flickering only shows up on the map, if Geralt is mounting Roach. If Geralt's on foot...the shadows don't flicker, at least not in the open. But now, normally, every little fence and some bushes are flickering like hell. This breaks so much the immersion to look at the beautiful world the game has to offer.

These graphical glitches did start with 1.07, the only new glitch I noticed with 1.08 is the shadow flickering. But all the others were added in 1.07. Glitch with the clouds, texture, and loading.

Also there is a lot less fog/dust effects. We almost can't see any dust floating in the air anymore, they were extremely reduced in patch 1.03, I guess it was intended to increase performance which didn't work.

1.02 had the best graphics and gameplay to me, no graphical glitches, no loading issues, I didn't have any quest problems... all the patches after that took something out from the game. Hopefully things will get back on track with the expansions.

Some people say that the flickering shadows started with patch 1.07 too. So i decided to see some gameplays of the PS4 version with 1.07 patch on youtube, and besides i could say that really there are some flickering on the shadows, it's nothing close to what i seeing now on 1.08. It's a lot worse now, at least for what i can notice, some places especially in Velen, have shadows flickering in EVERY single place where the shadows are more thin, like fences. It's an flickering festival now. It really seems that started in patch 1.07 but now it's out of control, the shadows on this game, on the PS4 version at least, are a mess right now, they should at least fix this because it's really annoying to look at.

I've noticed this also, and sometimes with,cutscenes even indoors, there will be rain inside a building during a cutscene. It cracks me up.

I really don't even care if they downgrade the quality of shadows or anything. As long as i can walk around the world without a lot of things flickering, this kind of thing really annoys me.

I went for a stroll through Kaer trolde village and I thought they were having a festival, there was loads of pink rope, on hanging fish baskets, on the pelt tanning holders and on the inn doorways, I realised it was a bug, but it sure did look pretty :)

Fast Travel to the Hanged Man tree in Velen, and look to the fence right by your right side exactly when you get there, mounting Roach. Then you will see the flickering.

Just a little update, today i was playing and noticed that even the Windmill shadow was flickering. That freaking huge shadow cast by the windmill, flickering in and out of te map. I think that CD Projekt should at least fix this graphical anomalies, if they can't fix the FPS, at least make the game don't be a pain in the eyes because of strange glitches like these.

Pretty sure that if some huge shadows like the windmill will flicker the game will more likely crash as hell .

I played for 5 hours straight the other day. This shadow flickering of even bigger things happened since the first minutes that i started playing, so i can guarantee that the game at least for me, don't crash because of this. But still, it's an annoying immersion breaking glitch.

I found yesterday just a new to me graphical glitch in Skellige, that around the sea at the northern part where you start, where also some Echidnas are i nthe near, the sea surface becomes ALL WHITE, so that you can practicalyl see notjhign else anymore, than just all white and geralts head...

If you dive, its all ok, but you stil lsee the raphic glitch of an all white survace, when you look underwater up to the survace lol...
I think this is a graphic glitch, that has to do with the white shore water animation thats bugged and expands itself when you go into the water and smwim towards the sea, instead of staying just only at the spot, where the animation belogs to, to the shore area
