Starfleet Academy (2409/2410) flickering textures/shadows.

edited October 2018 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Hello,

After the Discovery update there are now some textures but mostly shadows that flicker quite heavily at Starfleet Academy on the normal Starfleet map, year 2409/2410.

This is most noticeable when the character and camera is moving, and it's also most noticeable on the buildings on the northern side of the map.

Updating the graphics driver and verifying game files did not resolve the issue.

I always hate bugging you @engineerb4#4806 <3

    I am seeing the same thing on the regular SFA map. I do not remember seeing it happen on the Discovery tutorial version of SFA.

    The building with all the services in there (bank, mail, exchange, tailor...etc...)....inside the building all the skylights are blinking out. It seems to be all about the shadows. Looking at the building from the outside, same thing, shadows blinking on and off....today I noticed it on the trees as well as buildings.

    I may have to just turn shadows off while at SFA.

    I can confirm that I see flickering at Starfleet Academy if I turn on shadows, though only when I move. This is at the regular Starfleet Academy; I have not checked the Federation tutorial or the Discovery tutorial. The easiest way to reproduce the bug is to turn on shadows, go outside near the center of the map, and run towards the buildings to the east or south.

    So now we have flickering if you turn shadows on and a different type of flickering if you turn shadows off. You can't win.

    Agreed. It's been flickering most noticeably since the Disco update.

    Another odd thing, not a bug, but an odd change - you used to be able to run through shrubs as you ran around the campus to do the daily clicks (Lifetime dil refiner, vulcan npc for doffs, Viala, etc.). At the same time the flickering started, a lot of stuff became "solid."

    I thought it was an issue with my laptop. I am surprised to see it isn't just me.

    PS - I fully support a T6 Nova, fixing the Nova skins. I am also rooting for a T6 Science Cruiser, that can use Nova/Rhode Island skins.
    T6 Nova/Rhode Island, T6 Oberth & T6 Constellation are needed. Also needed a T6 Science Cruiser, that can wear any Science or Cruiser skin.

    This is still a problem to this day, shadows and transparent windows textures throughout Starfleet Academy flicker heavily as the character and camera move around. It's most noticeable on the northern buildings, and the main building at Starfleet Academy, and at the top with the trees in the background etc.

    Could you look into this @engineerb4#4806 ? We haven't heard back from you yet.

    Thanks!

    Do you think it helps when you post 'It still an issue' almost every week?

    I second this. Noticed it last weekend on SFA...it has been a while since I visited the locale. Still blinking.

    How would NOT reporting that the bug is still present help?

    This issues is still occurring and no sign of it getting fixed or acknowledgment of it even existing. So yes people will keep posting about it.

    Yeah, right now people join a free to play game and the first every ground map most players spawn on are experiencing huge graphical issues. That's a great first impression when it comes to quality etc..

    Posting the same post every week is probably not going to help. I'm sure they know it by now.

    I have seen the same problem as well though. I also get this at the main tower in the Dyson sphere map if i'm looking at the ground.
  • snowwolf#0563 snowwolf Member Posts: 1,018 Arc User
    Still a problem, this is the first ground map many players get to experience. Having it flicker with such a huge graphical impact is quite bad!

    Still a problem.
