Is there any chance you could record a small clip of this ocurring? Or some screenshots that showcase it?

I will do what I can.

Will show JUST the character select menu.

edit :

In true computer fashion, I can not get the game to recreate the problem now.

Earlier, the bug persisted through at least 20+ restarts of the game, 4+ computer reboots, and something like 50+ settings changes between both the game and Nvidia control panel.

It was exactly as specified. I wish I had gotten footage of it. The textures would flicker in specific blocks at random points. I even cleared my system cache on my C: drive, and that did nothing.

But, now that I am asked for footage… I can not for the life of me recreate the issue. I will try again, and repost on here if it happens.

The most I am getting now, is a weird blue line across the torso of my Ogryn Where the glitchy blocks were. I will make a short video using OBS to show the blue line. It might be related to the issue. I have no idea.

When you watch the video, pay very close attention to the Ogryn’s chest just below and to the right of the pouch chest belt. You are looking for a very quick like 3 frames and its gone light blue line in a reverse Z shape. It goes from right armpit, almost to the top chest belt pouch, then straight down, and left across the lower mid belly.

For the life of me, I have no idea why the textures are working better now, than they were earlier. I have not changed anything (to my knowledge) other than what was stated above. And none of the above made it go away. I changed to and from the glitch multiple times to confirm it. Now… all that is left is a blue line (which sometimes doesn’t show up… I had to record the video 3 times just to get the blue line that is there now).

Also, I can not seem to get rid of the AA blurr around the Ogryn’s top right head down to right arm, continuing to hand. Not sure why.

edit 3

I found the blurr issue. its depth of field setting, in-game.
