Good afternoon, thank you for your bug report — we are currently investigating the issue.

How often does the problem occur? Does it happen consistently in every battle?

@boreal spindle Could you please let us know your graphics card and video driver version?
You can check this by doing: “Win + R” → msinfo32 → Components → Display

Additionally, as a workaround, you can switch Visual Effects to Minimum and then back to Maximum. This will reinitialize the effects system, and the issue should be resolved without needing to restart the client.

I'm getting similar problems. Yesterday, I played and had no such issues.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
RAM: 32GB
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB running driver version 32.0.23033.1002

I'm playing at 1440p with max settings and motion blur disabled.

Edit: I restarted the PC and it stopped happening.

Hi all, I encountered the same issue yesterday. I wasn't able to capture the video during the match but got it on the match survey screen. Smoke/clouds were randomly strobing for the last 5 minutes of the match. My cursor in the video circles this effect. I logged this on the customer support side and on of the devs asked me to post it in wgc-bug-reports so it was captured and logged correctly. If anything else is needed just let me know. I'll keep you updated if I se it again today.

Apparently this is still an ongoing issue. It is happening right now to me in the lobby when I clicked "Play Quick Match" while loading this is happening.

This visual bug carried into the match. It get worse as the map environment begin to change. Example: a shot into the dirt, running over a car. Chopper's ult is great at causing this smoke bug to really act up. It is present through out the match of the attached log. Fairly certain I will continue to get this. If you want me to restart the game or doing any specific action, let me know.
