Since the update I’ve noticed models in various regions flickering white while character is moving since update.
Tried to fraps hangings on buildings flickering at Krongar Pass, Timberline Falls tonight yet when fraps is recording snow hanging off buildings vanishes altogether.
Also noticed today on one model at Sati Pass in Fireheart Rise.

Have been off game for last week so didn’t bother mentioning it after reading patch notes about graphics optimisation. Something is amiss with it.

Had no issues before other than low fps in certain regions possibly due to excessive use of shaders. Seems there have been some issues again since Ambient Occlusion was reintroduced that have still not been adequately addressed.

Graphics settings auto detect on High.
GPU: Nvidia 560ti GTX
Was on 24G Ram, but currently on 16G due to upgraded MB not running triple channel Ram
Recently rolled back to 570 drivers as latest, 590, l think, had many bug reports from users. Not sure if Nvidia have applied fixes as yet.

I have noticed the same thing, usually on barrels/boxes like in your second post.
I’ve got an nvidia gtx 670, most recent drivers: 310.90

Ok Ekkue, thanks for your reply, good to know that someone else is experiencing the same problem. My friends I’ve discussed it with have Radeon cards and seem unaffected by this issue. The 310.90 driver was the latest version which seems to have bugs when first released. It was causing occasional blackouts on both my dual monitors which is why l rolled back to 310.70 however I didn’t clean install just ticked the Nvidia exe option to do so. The issue as it only appeared after installing the 310.90 driver. While the Nvidia executable provides an option for ‘clean install’ I will manually uninstall and reinstall the 310.70 drivers to see if that fixes the issue.
It may be that Nvidia have provided a patch or new driver version also. If not it may be worthwhile to post on the GeForce forums especially if you are having problems with the 6 series cards.

Update: Don’t trust the Nvidia option to ‘remove old drivers’. It does not work and after supposed rollback to 310.70, was still running 310.90.
Did a manual uninstall of drivers, rebooted.
Installed 314.07 drivers. No glitches noticed as yet.
Instructions to manually uninstall Nvidia drivers
Or, like me, if you don’t trust windows uninstall, use CCleaner
