    Floating objects at roadblock

    So I started a new game after patch 1.05. I completed Dutch's island. I decided to swim across the river to Holland Valley. Killed a VIP peggie on the shore and then blew up the silo also at the orchard. Then I went to the roadblock at the bridge that leads to Holland Valley from Dutch's island.

    I noticed that floating papers and bits of metal that should be on the ground are hovering above the barbwire and tires at the roadblock.

    This never happened before the latest update. I will start over again to see if it reoccurs. If it does then please take note Ubisoft because this could be a texture bug introduced in the latest update.

    I will update my post later after further investigation.

    Edit Update: Reloading current save still has floating objects at roadblock. I will try starting a new game again later today to see if it happens again. It's really annoying and immersion breaking.

    Previously, pre 1.05 patch, I had driven across the bridge and attacked the roadblock first thing after Dutch's Island instead of the steps I described above without this problem. I will try driving across and attacking the roadblock first thing, as I did before, next time to see if it happens again.

    Edit 2: Here is a link with pictures of this bug.

    Thanks

    Here you go

    After leaving the area of the roadblock and returning to it, it had gone away as it should after it's been destroyed and the floating objects had also disappeared with it. Now the road there is clear.

    I will be starting a new game again tonight and I'll report my findings when I get to this roadblock again.

    I started a new game and this time went straight to the roadblock first thing after completing Dutch's island. It had the same floating objects as before.

    This must be a new bug introduced in the 1.05 patch. Please report this to the dev team and hopefully it can be fixed in the next update. I will lookout for any other locations with the same bug and update this post.

    I'm not going to let it stop me though. I'll just pretend it's a side effect of the "Bliss" for now. 🤤

    Just discovered another roadblock with floating objects. Here is a link with pics of the bug and the location.

    Can an Ubisoft rep or any other players help me confirm if this glitch is happening to everyone or just me please?

    As per an Ubisoft support suggestion on Twitter, which I knew wouldn't work, I cleared my cache on my console and it did not fix it.

    Only thing left to try is a full reinstall. That's going to suck since I have the digital version and I'm going to have to download the whole game again. Ugh!! This sucks. Especially if even a reinstall doesn't fix it. I had to wait over a month since day one just to get the day/night cycle working again only to have a totally new immersion breaking graphical glitch plaguing my game. How could I be the only person who has this bug?? It was fine with the 1.04 patch. ☹

    Hey 420JJ, thanks for the screenshots. Is this the only place in the game you've experienced this?

    I started a new game. I've only made it to the first one in my new game, next to the bridge, and the glitch is still there. I've given up playing since there is no workaround.

    I already created a support ticket and the reps told me they've passed it on to the dev team to investigate. I included a link for this forum post with the pictures in the support ticket.

    I've given up playing any further until this glitch is, hopefully, fixed whenever the next update is released. Who knows when that will be? 😕

    I noticed something similar, different asset:


    Other times it's fine:


    Could be it's to do with random encounter placement spawning in unfortunate locations, causing the asset to be "raised" because of the terrain layout/height? Not sure.

    I appreciate your trying to contribute something similar, but that doesn't come close to the visual error I'm seeing at roadblocks.

    Especially in the second link above, these assets are floating multiple feet above the terrain.

    The only thing I can try now is to reinstall the whole digital game again. I dread the prospect of doing that and it still not fixing it. What's even stranger is that nobody else seems to be experiencing this specific issue I'm having. Literally everything else in the game is working fine.

    Just my luck I guess. 😞
