Spells causing artifacts/graphic glitches

[zzwdup]

Hi, I purchased the game this week and while it runs extremely smooth i have noticed that some spells being cast are artifacting or weirdly causing a graphic glitch where the spell appears across the whole screen.

I will keep bumping this post as this is bug is game breaking and will cause players to not play on launch.

Below is the necro spell.

This also happens on the shaman ice thorns spell, it also extremely bad in this area for both spells.

I have the exact same behavior but not caused by spells, it can be any element present in the screen such as the environment moving or highlighting an item on the floor.

This only happens after a couple of hours in the game so I believe it must be related to how well the game handles VRAM. Didn’t make a video as I really can’t force it to happen but I’ll try to capture it eventually.

Same issue. Wasn’t happening until I got Bone Golem. When Casting Wandering Spirits and Hungering Souls it goes crazy. Reminds me of what my old graphics card did when I overclocked and it was overloaded.

Exact same problem here. Tried everything from max to minimum graphics settings with no effect. Makes playing as a caster near impossible at times.

I have had the same problem, but the issue is a bit sporadic over areas and times.

Same problem here, super bad with the hungering souls spell. I did some testing today with this and it seems like restarting the game fixes it, at least temporarily.

At first I thought it might be tied to certain areas, but after restarting the game, it was fine in places it had acted up before in. I think it gets worse over time.

Having the same issue. Tried changing graphics settings in-game and in nvidia settings without any luck. Lowering the resolution did get rid of a few stationary, item-related artifacts, but then different artifacts persisted and even worsened as I played. That’s often how it is. It’s like a strobe light at times and unplayable. Was really bad in the Great College.

Hello,

I have the same issue here. When i´m using the skill hungering soul, my graphics getting weird. Ther are green lines all over the screen. Even if my pets are using the skill there is the same fault.

My specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
Asrock X470 Taichi Ultimate
32 GB DDR4
Nvidia RTX 2080 ti
MOTU M4 Audio Interface

Resolution: 3440*1440
Win 10 64bit ( 10.0.19041.264 )

Maybe anyone can help? I think after the last patch the issue is getting harder.

Hello.

I’m having the same problem. All the way from the start of the game to the Temple of Eterra there are huge artifact issues. They ease up a lot once I get into the Imperial Era, but certain spell effects (just about anything Mage/Acolyte and Warpath) ramp up the artifacts to strobe light levels again. Strangely enough I played the game for about 60-70 hours on Linux using Proton 5.0-6(or 7) and had no issues other than my characters starting naked.

My specs:

Hi, since patch 0.78 I am seeing glitches all the time . It is mostly regarding lightning e.g. in skeletons, some lanterns or spells. Before this patch everything work flawlessly.

Same thing happening here. Reloading the game usually helps (not really consistent with what areas or mobs or spells cause it) but that isn’t ideal for things like Monolith
