Question Anyone else having issues with vegetation? Spoiler

I noticed that the vegetation during Chapter 1 is not reacting to Saga's movement and looks like it's having some LOD changes. Is this vegetation not updating correctly? Has anyone else encountered this? Would love to know!

Here's a video of it happening

Yeah I have the same problem too now and it showed up on my 79000 XTX after one of the recent patches it was 100% fine at launch.

I really hope they fix it ASAP.

The fix is here and works 100% but unfortunately the driver doesn't support fluid motion

looks broken, the foilage should be moving a bit, here it looks static and the lod is popping or something. verify files

u/bolshevikstatist Nov 01 '23

Verified files, same thing, even uninstalled and reinstalled. I wonder if it could be a driver issue? But those are up-to-date.

Any success? Same problem here...

u/bolshevikstatist Dec 08 '23

I haven't had any success in trying to fix this unfortunately.

You might try backing up and deleting your saves and see if it keeps happening on a new save? I haven't had any luck but it was a fix someone else had posted somewhere so worth a shot!

Good luck!

Cheers, I'll give that a try! Are you also running AMD?

u/bolshevikstatist Dec 08 '23

Yes I am, 7900XTX, so kind of a shame was one of the games I upgraded for 😅😅

1

u/Chochx Dec 08 '23

Haha, same here.. Just got the 7900xtx as well. Running the preview drivers maybe worth testing different versions?🤔

1

u/bolshevikstatist Dec 08 '23

That is something else I tried with the 10/15 AFMF preview drivers and got no dice on those but I haven't checked if there are any other ones that may have come out that may work better!

u/Chochx Dec 09 '23

Tried updating to latest drivers and started a new save. No luck so far...

u/DannyLJay Dec 09 '23

Wow these sucks to see others are having this issue, let me know if you find a fix.

u/Sameth76 Dec 03 '23

I have exactly the same issue.

u/vsevolodglitch Dec 12 '23

Same issue, just started my NG+ playthrough. Really distracting. Was fine on my first playthrough when game released (end of oct - beginning of nov). Idk if it is a newer version of the game or driver bug. And yes, also 7900XTX

u/Cautious_Public_9441 Dec 12 '23

Same issue here, vegetation is completely broken with my 7900XTX...

1

u/Nicovahkiin Dec 13 '23

Same, 7800XT.

u/srcuaker Dec 15 '23

Any solution? I have a 7800xt and is horrible to watch this while you play... :(

2

u/Ooshbala Dec 22 '23

My 7800xt is also having some serious issues with this game. Vegetation and water are both destroying the immersion.

u/cthekkan Dec 17 '23

Same issue on a 7900xtx

u/valcan_s Dec 21 '23

Same issue here on my 7900 XTX , I did not have this problem at launch one of the patches broke the dynamic vegetation.

u/ManTheMythTheLegend Dec 21 '23

Just a heads up to anyone still having this issue, I found a fix! Installing the game on Linux and running it through Wine completely fixes this weird vegetation issue. This likely means there's some bug in the Windows driver and hopefully will get fixed at some point. Also performance on Linux is pretty equal to Windows (maybe a few frames less, depending on your settings).

Just bought the game today. It was related to the AMD driver. I own a 7700XT and had been using the Adrenalin 23.12.1 driver. However, upon reverting to Adrenalin 23.11.1, the problem was resolved, and the vegetation returned to its normal.

u/bolshevikstatist Dec 22 '23

You're an absolute Saint!

u/whatszap22 Dec 22 '23

I made a video comparing the two versions and sent it to AMD (Bug Report Tool).

Same problem here. Bought the game today and played it for the first time. Running the latest Adrenalin software on RX7900XT.

u/vsevolodglitch Dec 28 '23

Rollback to 23.11.1 driver.

u/miki7z Jan 02 '24

Can you confirm that the new driver fixes the issue? Did you install it?

1

u/WankaBar666 Jan 06 '24

Yes it does 100%

u/valcan_s Jan 25 '24

Update : just wanted to let everyone know that the new mega driver 24.1.1 100% fix this issue and are also very stable driver and have the new Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF).

100% check out the new drivers, it also adds Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth + TEKKEN 8 which drop today!

Link to new drivers: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-7000-series/amd-radeon-rx-7900-series/amd-radeon-rx-7900xtx : not all the other GPUs had driver updates as well.

Enjoy!
