Flickering Graphics

[Twinki]

Hello, today I have started playing this game and an akward bug started happening.

 

Basically the sea water is constantly flickering and so on. The game did work fine besides that problem, FPS was high, stable connection etc.

 

Here are some PC informations

I asked our rendering engineer to check this topic

I thought it was only me! I had that after entering battles. it stopped doing it after I entered a port though

Here is the quote from Steam forums, may be it will be useful to someone:

 

I had a really nasty graphics issue. The sea would randomly (triggered by a loading screen ie. going from open world to instance) start stretching/ flickering....it was horrible.

Tried all kinds of changes to graphics settings, however the only thing that worked waas to go into the client and set it to run in compatability mode for windows 7

So glad I am not the only one having this issue. I was losing my mind a bit trying to play making sure all drivers were up to date. Sent in a few bug reports hopefully will get fixed. Really want to jump on in. 

[Ink]

Thanks for the reports, captain! They are addressed

[Rheinhardt]

So I hate to bug but what was the issue? I keep looking over the game anxious to play but until I can battle no point.

Hi guys,

 

I have exactly the same graphic issue in open see and battle.

 

My setting :

 

GeForce GTX 960 with driver up to date

Win7

DualCore I3 3.7 ghz

8G RAM

 

I realy want to play but its impossible with this glitch for the moment...

 

Could you please keep me posted ?

 

Thank you

For people having this issue it might be down to multiple GPU's. you will get artifacts and flickering (on the sea for example) and you have SLI/crossfire on/forced. Disabling this might solve you problems. This only apply's to people who have more than one GPU.

Thanks Phex but it's not my case (only use one GPU)

 

But for all people having the same issue than me, take a look at the Ink quote above and start the game in the comptability mode. That will fix your issue
