For whatever reason, shadows go absolute bonkers once I'm in the North. As in the shadows around the player become invisible. Or shadows that aren't supposed to be there fly by incredibly fast when just taking a single step.
Whenever I take a Belltower and the camera flies around to the points of interests, the shadows are all fine. Or when I take over an enemy camp and the camera zooms out a few times; shadows a-ok then. But then the camera goes back to first person and there's this relatively large squared area around Ajay that refuses to render any shadows.
My guess is it has something to do with the snow effect, as the same problems occurred (frequently) during the Himalaya missions.
It's a pretty jarring effect when you're trying to be stealthy and suddenly the environment around you becomes incredibly bright of flickers with shadows.
This is on a GTX 690 btw, with SLI turned off, no modifications to the Nvidia game profile and all the in-game settings on Nvidia/Ultra (except for AA, which is on SMAA).
Cheers!
The problem has to do with the snow falling! Several players have discovered that. Until now there is NO possibility to fix this (other than turning graphics down).
Which can't be the solution.
No word from Ubisoft yet. We can only hope that they fix the problem with the next Patch!
Ubisoft i said it before and say it again: It would be very helpful if you could give a short statement that you actually aware of the problem!
Hi Guys, have you opened a ticket with Technical Support? https://support.ubi.com please include a DxDiag report.
Uh whoa. I can confirm this works. Set my graphical settings to default (which is High for me) then manually changed everything to ultra, enhanced, hbao+ etc. Works. Like. A. Charm.Originally Posted by AlienBurns Go to original post
So that means the Nvidia preset does a little something on the side that breaks the shadows, I guess? Who knows.
Thanks AlienBurns! I can finally explore the North now! :-)
Today (before the patch) i changed too: First all on default than all to Ultra etc (exact settings as NVIDIA Settings). AND!!! it worked!!!
All fine, shadows worked perfect!
NOW AFTER PATCH 1.5......................................... The Northern Kyrat Shadow Bug is back
Same as before. Now the Setting NVIDIA is completly gone. As soon as you turn on shadows from Ultra to smooth BANG all f***d up![]()
