    Not the only houses affected. There are other houses doing it in that same zone outside windhelm. I noticed it when in the town just southeast/east of windhelm.

    Are those of the same type as in Windhelm?

    I'm having the exact same issue as the OP, idk when it started since I haven't been to Windhelm in a while but CWC would be my guess.

    Hi @ZOS_GinaBruno , any word on fixing this either on the PTS or live incremental patch?

    Thanks.

    Yeah, I'm hoping they find the time to fix this soon. It looks far worse in-game compared to the above GIF. Let's make Windhelm great again! :)

    Sent in a bug report (with video) on this same issue. Saw it on 3 roofs in Windhelm. Not related to culling or anything.

    My video card is a MSi GTX 1050Ti w/4gb DDR5 Vram.

    I'm still getting this glitch too in the same areas. Kind of gives me a headache so I avoid that area, which sucks because crafting is one of my favourite things.

    Playing on Xbox One S, on European megaserver.

    Three months later and still the same. When can we hope to see this fixed?

    Well, does it mean lost sales for ZOS? No? Then you can imagine when it will be fixed :)

    Well, to be honest, they have been maintaining and fixing tiny little details quite well. Surely this bug is not their top priority, but still 3 months should be more than enough, especially when already acknowledged by Gina. :-/

    I started getting this problem after a new monitor, I wondered if it had anything to do with like ESV:Skyrim and refresh rates being too fast. I picked up ROG SWIFT PG279Q back in December, after hooking it up this started happening on my game as well. For ESV:Skyrim issue, both having a higher FPS refresher via the G-Sync (fixed by enforcing V-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel) and higher than 60Hz causes crazy issues making it widely unplayable in certain locations, like horses being rendered into blobs or the water glitching out too often. In ESO its less prevalent, but it can be seen with Houses like that, Ultimate flickering when full becomes static haze, and that quest dog in Glenumbra having seizure fits.

    Short answer: Yes, at least on my end. Turning off G-Sync and switching my monitor back to 60Hz via a toggle fixed the issue, but that also caused the game to turn on V-Sync so my game never goes above 60 FPS. Unlike ESV:Skyrim it's not a game-breaking issue, just graphical errors it's not a big enough impact for me to run the game at 60Hz so I learned to live with it and not stare at the buildings...

    ^ Sorry but this issue has nothing to do with v-sync and your problems. This is a cross-platform, universal problem, affecting at least 3 buildings in Windhelm.

    Just came here to find a fix for this 4 month old problem. It's still happening for me on PC NA.

    ^ You won't find it. Apparently Gina said it would be fixed in the NEXT big update. That means like 2 months from now.

    That's right. Zos needs 7 months to fix a problem they were "working on getting this fixed " in November. Pathetic.
