Near water glitch

[white venture]

Does anyone have similar problem? How did you fix it please?

[severe narwhal]

I have this same problem.

[sharp sage]

I am also having this same issue

even if/when/after restarting the game and my PC itsefl. Sometimes the water disappears entirely

[dense crane]

That looks like hell.

[cyan sluice]

try re validating your game files.

[dapper crest]

It's a post-processing issue. What GPU are you using?

[sharp sage]

I did that

[cyan sluice]

it didnt fixed it i assume?

[sharp sage]

Nipe

[sharp sage]

The A one amden or whatever its called

[cyan sluice]

yeah its post-processing issue defiantly. AMD

[sharp sage]

Ryzen

[dapper crest]

Get me the specific model and I can help you adjust your settings

[sharp sage]

radeon rx 580 series?

[cyan sluice]

580?

[sharp sage]

that's what my device manager display adapter says

[dapper crest]

What's your driver version

[sharp sage]

31.0.21912.14

[dapper crest]

Do you have the AMD Software app installed

[sharp sage]

yes that says 24.3.1

[dapper crest]

Find the application profile in the app for HL. Enter it. Turn off Surface Format Optimization.

Restart PC and load the game.

[sharp sage]

I don't see surface format optimization. This is what it's showing me

oh god it's right there

[sharp sage]

lolololol I'm an idiot. Ok I disabled it I will try to relaunch when I get home and see if that's fixed the issue Thank you so much for your help!

[dapper crest]

No problem. Keep us updated on the results.

[sharp sage]

I've been paying for about 30 minutes now and so far none of the bogs or rivers or lakes are glitching anymore no more black lakes or invisible water. Fingers crossed

[dapper crest]

Good stuff. Happy to hear it's working as intended. Enjoy the game

[sharp sage]

Thanks again!

[sharp sage]

I may have spoke to soon. Got on to play tonight and it's doing this again whenever I'm by the water

[sharp sage]

I checked AMD and this is still disabled

when I'm running through the forest and stuff it's fine. gorgeous, beautiful. just when I am looking at or near a river it starts glitching out

[cyan sluice]

Holly Sheet that's some serious issues with post-processing something is really not right with your GPU

[sharp sage]

it looks like the leaves on the river bed are like trying to take over the sky

[cyan sluice]

yeah

[sharp sage]

I've never had any issue like this with any game. I run CyberPunk and a whole mess of other games on Ultra High and they don't have anything like this

I am running HL on MEDIUM settings and it's giving me graphics calibration issues

[cyan sluice]

how much is your GPU ram exactly?

[sharp sage]

This is with the game running

[cyan sluice]

i see

lets try these

everyone on the AMD forum complains about this issue

[dapper crest]

The next thing I can think of is the amount of frames you're experiencing

I think there's a way to cap frame rate in HL

It's 2am here and I'm about to pass out but try seeing if you can cap it at 45, and no higher

[cyan sluice]

he needs to cap the frame in the program too min max to 45 too

[sharp sage]

that's what I just did

I'm gonna restart and see if that helps

[cyan sluice]

in case i sent you a friend request

[sharp sage]

like this yes? no?

[dapper crest]

Min 44
Max 45

[cyan sluice]

min should be 45 too

[dapper crest]

Never ever set them the same

[cyan sluice]

well okay

can i ask why though?

[dapper crest]

You always need a buffer when setting custom frame allowances for cache

[cyan sluice]

oooh

[dapper crest]

Anyway, I'm going to bed.

[cyan sluice]

sleep well my friend 🙂
