That was mentioned as a specific fix in that YT...just had a quick go, seems to be fixed for the short amount I played.

Ah really? I have not loaded up since then so will check in a bit!

Did you let the game rebuild its shaders? Everything looks perfect my end during 4 hours play last night.

Yes, always. The GI is just pure garbage.

No issues here after the recent patch, honestly

I have installed ultra + mod on Epic settings so maybe that's helping things.

I'm tempted to try the Ultra Plus mod, but first I think I'll play a bit with the latest updates.

I was a bit skeptical but it's definitely well worth it if you have the frames to spare.

Does ultra plus make a difference to pop in?

Hell yeah. It's a game changer. Not 100% gone but you barely notice any. The thing that prompted me to try it was the visual noise in foliage when moving the camera, like dark splotches? Sorry don't know what the technical term is. It's cleaned everything up and makes the visuals go from pretty good to damn impressive.

I installed it, tried settings that Chatgpt recommended which gave me loads of GPU artifacting, then tried the built in recommended settings and still had the same issues but what i saw looked good. Gotta work out my problem

What kind of gpu artifacts? Maybe I got lucky but it worked flawless for me on first go. I did have to faff a bit to get the console up to change settings on the fly though. IIRC the guide says F12 but I think it turned out to be F11. Needs to be in full screen borderless too.

Not running any mods here, I think the game looks pretty good now, after the latest patches.

Not noticed any graphical artifacts.

Only when you turn or move though

Fixed it, guess it was a glitch. This Ultra plus is awesome, plus I have UETools. Going to have a great time. Here's my preset code if anyone wants to try my

Some DLSS 5 comparison pics. Seem slightly washed out as I was using RTX HDR in game.

What's the FPS hit like?

Btw you can take HDR screenshots with certain tools to avoid washed out images.

The FPS is huge really as with any other game with the DLSS 5 mod. I have actually turned on frame gen x2 (Yuk) to get over 100FPS. First time Ive used frame gen.
