Custom Vehicle Skins Flickering

Post by PsychoticFoetus »

Hi Team,
Ever since the last round of updates and hotfix, my custom skins have been flickering like mad. This happens in Canyon, Stadium and now Valley.
This is a very annoying undocumented feature in solo mode, that is positively infuriating when playing online. It is both distracting and headache inducing.
I have updated to the latest nVidia drivers, but alas, that provided no relief at all.

My system:
nVidia gtx 670
intel i7 3930k
16Gb Ram
Windows 7 64b

Trackmaina settings:
Everything at max

Cheers,
PF

Hi Omnixor,
As you may imagine, getting a screen grab of this is quite problematic. Sadly, I do not know how to do videos :cry:

Thankyou for your concern :)

My car in Valley is doing the same thing :?
For me, it's not everytime, but I could say that it's flickering about 3/4 of the time.

Do you also have issues with the water reflections?
Perhaps change the "car reflections" setting to "high only in replay". :?

I will try this and tell you if the problem persists. :thumbsup:


Edit : I confirm that when I put "car reflections" setting to "high", the bug is there and when I put "high only in replay", bug isn't there.
I hope that they'll fix this bug, because I love when my car is reflecting :yes:

Hi TMarc,
No, I do not have any issues with water reflections, but changing the setting to "high only in replay" has fixed the problem. :) A sad side effect is that my cars now look very bland. :cry:

yeah, that's the disadvantage, I don't like it either.
Let's just take it as temporary workaround ;)
