Texture/geometry flickering. New bug or what?

PlagueSD · July 2018

Logged in today and first thing I did was run to crafting area to do my daily crafting writs. Haven't been in game for more than 2 minutes and this is what I see.

On PC; this happened in Vulkhel Guard the other night... I was inside the enchanter's shop.

Those are the NPCs inside the inn across the street that you see... The one lying down in the invisible top bunk is my favorite.

PC NA here. I and the person I often duo with have been seeing quite a bit of the same visual anomalies as in the screenshots above since Summerset luanched.

Last night I discovered that they added a new challenge to Sanctum Ophidia! Cross the invisible bridge while avoiding the invisible holes!

I did manage to beat this challenge on the first try, but I admit I had some help.

I am standing at one of the anomalies in Craglorn, and I keep looking at this super annoying screen glitch or something.
Does anyone know if it's something new or what's going on?

Can confirm, I have the same issues. Thought I was the only one and feared that my GPU is going to die soon.

Had this for the first time a few times on Saturday. Happened in Selene's web dungeon, Deshaan and in Cyrodil. Whole sky and all far off textures just dropped out. Thought it was my connection or PC also.

Yeah, I've noticed this happening a lot to me ever since ZOS stated in the last patch notes that they applied a fix in which to fix this same type of issue in Summerset/Alinor, but it apparently spread it instead... I've noticed it's worst for me whenever I'm in Elden Root or Craglorn, or any relatively small interior space. I just sent in tickets and tried to power through.

Seri · July 2018

Craglorn has been particularly bad for me with flickering for a few weeks, especially up near Valley of Scars wayshrine.

Evergnar · July 2018

PC/NA I've seen a lot of the same visual gitches since Summerset. Turn one way and things disappear. Turn around again and they reappear. The weird geometry flashing I've also seen from time to time as well.

I went to do crafting surveys last night and thought my surveys were bugged. There was nothing there. Turns out it was just one of these visual glitches and if I stood in the right spot I could see them and harvest them.

LMar · July 2018

It's finally happened. Molag Bal has won. The planemeld has succeeded!

Octopuss · July 2018

I hope they have a major technological update in the works, because this is way past annoying. It makes the game flat out unplayable at times for me.

It's some kind of culling glitch. The game is telling your graphics card, "okay, the player can't see that," and the graphics card stops rendering it. This is, technically, normal. Unfortunately, something in the code is bjorked, meaning at the moment, "okay, the player can't see that," is happening to objects that are clearly in your field of view.

Noticed missing walls in Thugrub's Cave in Grahtwood yesterday.

The game is quite clearly only getting worse and worse. I don't know what trained chimps are doing coding over there, but maybe ZOS needs to hire competent programmers.

This artifacting has been happening to me in Craglorn for a couple months. It usually takes about 5 minutes of running around there for it to start. When I looked it up, it had been an ongoing problem for some players since at least Morrowind. Apparently not on the fix-it priority list.

The disappearing interiors just started the other day. It's much more problematic and I hope is a priority. I feel like I picked a bad time to renew my sub. Games been a bit of a mess since Summerset unfortunately.

Xerikten · July 2018

had this happen in the same spot a few times in the dungeon I was farming. I just logged out to character screen which fixes it.

updating my video card driver solved this issue when it occurred in other mmos.

however since the problem appears to be too common I doubt it is a driver issue

Narvuntien · July 2018

Pretty much constantly running into these at random locations all the time including Elden Root and Hel Ra.

That is complete crashes to desktop at random times.

Gythral · July 2018

More or less everywhere but Summerset & that includes Arteaum

The 'disappearing' items has been mentioned a lot, but objects glitching around and changing size/shape is much more fun. As someone else mentioned, I was also little worried about my graphics card when I first saw it happening.

Trinity_Is_My_Name · July 2018

It's everywhere. Any word from ZOS on when this will be fixed?

Just started happening to me today in a 'making the game unplayable' way in Clockwork City. Walking into invisible objects means just running is difficult, let alone interacting with anything.

Puzzlenuts · July 2018

I have been getting flickering effect in Craglorn.

IsharaMeradin · July 2018

I have noticed the flickering in the OP's video. It has been happening to me since Summerset went live. I have made sure that my graphic drivers were up to date, I've rolled back to older drivers, I've disabled all addons, I've set graphics to the absolute lowest they could possibly be. NOTHING gets rid of this flickering.

Side note, the two buildings in Windhelm whose roofs flickered no longer do. I'd rather have just those two buildings flicker than half the game world...

The flickering gets so bad especially in Craglorn that I have to limit my play while in that zone. At this rate, there should be a seizure warning when entering Craglorn.

Xbox one na Craglorn has been the worst for me as well

DanteYoda · July 2018

Strangely calming

Vulkhel Guard just... hmm Vanished...

Arenthia RIP..

Integral1900 · July 2018

I turned of my five addons so I can rule that out, it’s something to do with multi core thing they added, they seem to have broken something in the games rendering system, this stupid glitch is happening everywhere now
