Specifications

Fill out the following details:

• CPU: (11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz)
• GPU: (Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics)
• GPU Driver: (31.0.101.5081)
• OS: (Windows 10)
• Version: (1.0.0)

Additional Context

Issue can be temporarily fixed by exiting and reentering fullscreen or by changing anti-aliasing settings though this is very inconsistent and usually takes multiple tries and can get worse before fixing. The issue can happen after another loading screen.

I don’t have any dlc installed

It also occurred before I set up my mods

Same problem here, it's most likely caused by your graphics card, Intel Iris Xe causes a lot of visual glitches in other games (like Frontiers for example) A quick and messy fix that i found is to change the shadow resolution, it doesn't always works tho and it's really annoying to open the options menu after every loading screen. I really hope they can fix this in a future update!

is it running on dx12 or vulkan

[bazibastra249]

Whichever the default is

maybe it's dx12

Keeping this open because that linked issue is Intel UHD Graphics whilst this is on Iris Xe. The issues look similar but they might not completely overlap.

Firstly, thanks to the development for making this port magical. But sadly, am also using Intel iris xe. Which the glitches are almost similar

Go to the configuration file and change the renderer from DX12 to Vulkan.

[Zion94]

Thanks I will try that

try doing this %APPDATA%\UnleashedRecomp then you should find the config

[Zion94]

Details

I found it, it contains the save file and the config.toml. what should I do from here. The graphics api is auto I don't see anything like renderer

[bazibastra249]

Change “Auto” to “Vulkan”

[Zion94]

Thanks bro

[SetdownST]

Changing to Vulkan may work for some people but it completely tanks the fps on my computer, so i hope they find a fix for the DX12 renderer

[bazibastra249]

Vulkan seems to have fixed it however my performance dropped

[Zion94]

Yeah, you are right, performance went down but at least it works for now

If you are experiencing these issues, could you please try the build from the link below and show screenshots with the F1 profiler window visible? Make sure you switch back to D3D12 and enable anti aliasing.

using the new build

[blueskythlikesclouds]

Hmm, are your graphics drivers all up to date?

[SetdownST]

okey so, my graphics drivers weren't up to date, however after updating the problems persist

[bazibastra249]

Mine are up to date

Seizure glitch (purple)

White screen

[bazibastra249]

The bluriness seems to be fixed however

Very similar to mine if you are using dx12, as for vulkan, it works but the performances varies. Sometimes the stages load abit slower. Overall, no visual glitch so far.

[racedo000]

I solved the problem by switching to Vulkan

The crashes no longer occur even if I put the full window and switch back to window

I think they should put the option to switch to Vulkan or DX 12 in options

Because even the performance improved with Vulkan

[racedo000]

I have an 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7

Intel Iris XE

and with Vulkan it works great, even better than DX 12. It no longer has graphical glitches and performance has improved

I'll clarify this just in case

[Zion94]

Same here it works but there are frame drops
