Blocky looking rendering of dust and water [July 2022] [1.27]

@shooj

I’m seeing some boxing of dust images that only started since the update.

Today at 3 points on TTT. italian village, through boat yard bit and on epic kom bypass. So assume all dust points will be similar.
Running windows 11 with RTX3070 in 4k.

Try a full restart (not shut down), if still the same it may require a reinstall. Suggests a dodgy asset or shader; it’s sometimes seen on water spray and tail lights too.

cheers will try later. I did do a full reboot since update yesterday to race today.

It restarts the Nvidia driver from scratch, that’s the only reason I mention it. It resolves the slowdown to the home screen ‘slide in’ effect when selecting a route, so there are obviously some things that stay in cache or memory.

I also get this new boxed dust effect Win 10, Nvidia 1050Ti on HD

Same particle effect squares for me. I’ll upload screenshots later. Definite new bug.

yup, confirmed as I saw it my ride tonight (windows PC / Nvidia)



Water and dust both affected. Also saw squares behind the triangle direction indicators on some riders.

Yep as mentioned on FB same here with dust/water boxes. Win11 12th gen cpu/RTX2060

Hard not to unsee once you know its around. Annoying.

This update has introduced the same problem for me as well. This is the blocky-looking graphics (particle effect squares) with the dust, water and turn-signal effects.

I have the same block issue when rendering dust as others have reported here.

After the latest update I noticed that the dust isn’t rendered correctly. Instead of dust particles, the only thing I see now are large blocks moving around where the dust should be. These blocks are a slightly lighter color and transparent so they don’t affect the ride, but it’s not a good experience.

Thanks for these reports and the screencaps everybody. Pictures of what you’re seeing are always helpful.

We’re looking into the cause on this. So far, a common thread appears to be desktop / laptops with very capable GPU’s. If you’re weighing in to this thread - please let us know which operating system and graphics card you’re using. Thanks

Win10 and RTX 3060 Ti here, which with the above replies is already enough information to confirm it’s not OS/driver/GPU dependent.
