[Edit: at the request of @Azulath, I've created a new thread. @moderators feel free to edit or delete this post.]
It would be great if more people could help figuring this out.
I've made a backup from the affected save files. PM me if you want me to send you one of them for testing.
(I'm suffering from photosensitive migraine, so my possibilities are limited. I'm always wearing sunglasses when playing CP2077, but sometimes that's not enough.)
Interesting... I assume the issues where the ones you reported above: "...flickering reflections of sunlight. (like the sunlight when you look into trees, or reflections on cars.)". Did you have any other issues?
I've encountered these
three issues:
#1) textures and objects flickering and disappearing (This is the main issue)
#2) flickering sunlight (probably not persistent with save files, but not entirely sure)
#3) every second time I loaded the same exact save file, issue #1 was gone, but occurred again with the very next quick-load.
Cause of the issue:
#1)
[Streaming]
Distance Boost = 50.000000
_Note: I've tried values from 42.000000 to 60.000000, not sure which one got stuck)
#2)
[DLSS]
Enable = true
EnableCustomMipBias = true
EnableMirrorScaling = true
MirrorScaling = 1.000000
Sharpness = 1.00000
_Note: @4K ; DLSS_Performance. As mentioned earlier, I'm not sure if this ini tweak persisted with the files, but when it does, it might explain issue #3 in some way. The Draw Distance Boost is the one that started causing the issues.
#3)
Not sure what was causing this. Maybe different versions of rendering.ini got stuck to the same save files.
Videos:
#1)
The DLSS mod [#2)] was not installed when I made this video.
# 1 ; 3)
Reproduction:
I was able to solve the issue by deleting the affected save files and by rolling back to version 1.22. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issues. Like I said earlier, my possibilities are limited.
In case you want to try to reproduce it,
- Set the value of [Streaming] DistanceBoost between 48.000000 and 60.000000,
- get inside Delamain HQ, stand close to the reception and create a manual save-file,
then fast-travel to Charter ST, there you create another manual save-file.
- At Charter ST, keep an eye on objects and buildings in the distance, as well as textures on the ground.
- If you see textures missing or flickering, close the game, remove the tweaks from the ini, launch the game again and load the save-file at Charter ST to see if the issue persists.
- If you don't see any issues after the fast-travel to Charter ST, quick-load the recent save file by pressing F9 once to see if it makes a difference.
- To avoid issues on future save files: delete all auto-saves and quick-saves, as well as the manual save-files that have been created while the mod was installed.
- differential diagnosis: Clean-install GPU drivers
- Assumptions:
- If the issue also occurs on old save files: Deleting the new save files (that have been created while the mod was installed) might be enough to solve the issue.
- Pressing Continue in the main menu might not show any of the mentioned issues.
