Old texture flickering bug has reappeared

As the title says, the bug where the edge of background nebulas would flicker when you are flying through a system seems to have reappeared since Season 6 went live.

    Oh gee, if only someone had noticed this issue while it was on Tribble...

    ditto - I hadn't noticed the problem in awhile, so I was sorta holding out hope that it had been fixed - now, I'm seeing it again (most reliably in the borg red alert missions)

    I'm not entirely confident it had EVER been fixed, although I suppose it's not impossible that the recent update brought it back - but it's more likely that many of us just sorta randomly missed it for a period of time

    either way - still needs to be fixed, or re-fixed, as the case may be
    There is no correct resolution; it's a test of character.

    I agree with Kermit. I don't really think it was ever fixed in the first place.

    ...wut?

    Check the screenshots I've posted here. They show the same location on Tribble and on Holodeck, both before Season 6 launch.

    It was fixed. Or at least most of it was. Now it's back to the starting point, even though I posted a bug report while this was still on Tribble, in vain hopes that it would be corrected before Live release. Oh silly me...

    I've been noticing a similar issue on various maps ever since I first started playing. I don't remember it ever going away. It pops up any time the game can't decide which of two textures to use for something. I've seen it on walls, floors, nebulas, and a few other things.

    I agree with suaveks, it was (for me at least) fixed prior to Season 6. I hadn't seen that particular problem for ages.

    I admit I never noticed it during my time on Tribble. However most of the stuff I was testing was the new missions which are either ground maps or have clear backgrounds.

    Once Season 6 went live, pretty much the first system I warped into had a nebula in the background and the issue was there again.

    On a happier note, Season 6 does seem to have cured the problem I was having with flickering shadows, especially on my ship's hull.
