Something broke in the graphical rendering new patch

Tron meets Elder Scrolls?

A few questions:

How often does it happen? Is it every time you log in or more randomly?
Did you run repair? Assuming it is every time you log then this could be some broken data (some objects are not rendered at all from what I can see while others are correct)

It's a random occurrence and cannot replicate it intentionally, happened very rarely on character switch. Most of the time everything works fine so I guess it's not broken data just the rendering failed for some reason. Reloadui not fixing it, restarting game does.

I have asked this because I have found there is indeed some rendering issue too. It indeed happens from time to time however at least in my case not so often (in last 3 months happened maybe twice) and only restart helps. Since it happens for me so rarely I could not determine if it's related to particular graphics settings and if lowering it might help or not. Difference is that in my case all screen gets unusable so reporting it from within game is also not possible.

Some things you could try are to repair via launcher and to update your graphic drivers.

However, I don't experience your issue but since the foa update the DoF effect of my reshade preset is broken.
Maybe this is something out of our hands to solve.

This happened to me tonight

I noticed a few grainy "glitches" recently - just flashes of lines across the screen that looked like static. Then this happened when I was trying to wayshrine to Rawl'kha. Restart of my Mac seemed to fix the issue *for now*.

This has been happening to me also. Good to know it's a game bug others are experiencing and not my graphics card failing, I guess. But man. Awful.

I've managed to make it go away on at least a temporary basis by deleting the shadercache and restarting my computer. That'll hold for at least a few days before it starts artifacting like this again.

Here's one screenshot I captured of it:

Here's a few more similar screencaps of what I was experiencing today, this time running the "vanilla" client with no add-ons enabled (though it blows my mind to imagine add-ons could somehow cause this):

Oops, accidentally uploaded the same screen twice. Here's the third screen I meant to upload:

It could be an update, either to that video card or something in the game's patch that is affects certain Vcards. I have had that experience before after a update/patch to the game. Mine was a problem rendering ground textures but it only did certain areas and not all the time. An update to my video card fixed it.

Apparently not just inside the game can get broken...
