Game doesn’t crash and runs at 120+fps but I get these very weird models constantly. Every now and again all models will turn completely charcoal black too
Windows 10

ASROCK 6900XT - latest drivers

Getting the exact same issue and I also have absolutely zero clue what causes it, but it’s become something more apparent with the latest update. I was wondering if it was my GPU (AMD Radeon RX 6600) or something, but any other game that I play has no artifacting it is just Darktide.
Lighting bug. 100% of the time. Odd lighting lined, often shaped like stairs or other square shapes. Only happens in the relay room of the map.
The lines move as the camera turns. The show up on the walls, ceiling, floors. Doesnt matter.
Adjusting lighting quality doesnt change anything.

I assume you have an AMD card + cpu? There was a thread about this in the beta and everyone that had this issue had AMD parts. Really disappointing to see that not only has it not been fixed, but that it got much worse.
What a mess…

I have been experiencing this issue as well. My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and my GPU is an AMD Vega 64. I noticed that the square block artefacting remains no matter what settings I select, but the strange glowing lines you showed here went away when I turned off screen-space reflections. Not sure where this problem is coming from but I assume it’s driver related.
In the patch notes from new AMD drivers this issue is marked as know and noted that they are working with dev on the solution.

We kindly ask that you complete the questions below. With this information, we can add it to our database for investigation.
Issue Description:
Flickering black squares show up across any and all surfaces seemingly at random, hampering quality of graphics. Picture attached of only caught instance, flickers are rapid enough to be difficult to catch on screenshots - visible on ogryn’s left arm, with dark edges not caused by lighting. Graphics drivers updated to the latest possible.
Steps to Reproduce:
[Please add the steps that can help our QA department in reproducing the issue. For example:]
- Play as any character (easiest visible on Ogryn)
- Load into the Mourningstar hub, the Psykhanium, any shop menu, inventory or a mission
- Black, shiny(?) squares will be flickering rapidly across seemingly random surfaces, especially character models and wide flat surfaces like Mourningstar’s walls and floor panels
- Especially noticeable upon first loading in, abates slightly after a moment once models load but never ceases
- Turning to look at things behind you seems to spawn the squares more commonly than looking at an area continuously, possibly unloaded textures popping in or similar?
- Changing graphical settings shows no change whatsoever in frequency nor look of flickering squares

I created an account just to say I’m having the exact same problem (except it’s on desktop Arch Linux), and it never happened in Beta. Changing anti-aliasing to TAA made the problem more tolerable.

Same issue on my steamdeck. Like was said the beta had no issues and looked a lot better. Hope it can get fixed because otherwise the game is amazing on the deck.
As shown in screenshot below :

Hi!
Today, I noticed it as well. During the beta everything worked fine. With the full release I noticed a black outline/shimmering on my character. For me I could resolve this issue by enabling “TAA” with no FSR turned on. I did not load up a game to check the first person bug related to the weapon yet. For me this bug has clearly something to do with the Anti-Aliasing respectably TAA since FXAA also produces these artifacts. Only with TAA enabled it seems to be gone.
Settings:
General I use the high preset with motion blur turned off, FSR turned off, Anti-Aliasing set to TAA and Sharpening turned on. During the beta I had no Anti-Aliasing and Sharpening turned on which i prefer. Until this issue gets solved this might be a workaround.
P.S.: My lighting quality is set to high as well!

If i play this game at the highest settings this happens during my games.
Lowering the settings will reduce the black dices.(last screnshot, between guy and knife)
And this other strange effect on the hand or weapon will only get reduced when i turn down the fov.
my drivers are all on the newest version.
Reported this in Closed Beta also…
AMD GPU - Black flickering boxes on weapons when Light Quality settings is set to Medium-Extreme, Issue is not that visible on low, it works on every map but not at that rate as it is in the Psykhanium
- Meat Grinder in Psykhanium, (playing as Psyker but any class should have this)
- stand in the center with melee weapon
- aim at the feet of enemies and spin around till you see it.
