I noticed some really bad flickering shadows when in cockpitview during night racing on ss7(the long one). It only seemed to be on the inside view but the flickering was happening on the walls on said course. I know this game has flickering shadows in other spots, but did you guys specifically notice it in this instance I described?
 
I set the flicker reduction, but no dice. I thing it the game because going outside the cockpit view it disappears. Weird.
 
Im glad Im not the only one with this issue, the reflections of the lights in the wet floor and in the walls are flickering, but only when you're using the cockpit view (even if you pause the game). I've also noticed that the flickering shadows are in the dry version of the track. I hope PD release a new patch that resolves this glitch soon.
 
Ferg, I imagine it is in everyone's version of the game, just not many people notice it. Also I do hope that PD would patch this.

At times this games looks downright ugly and other times....specifically when I played today on Eiger short track with the Shelby Cobra '66, it looks downright stunning.
 
I've saw some videos of that track and do not have that flicker effect. Really weird. Yeah maybe it's not only in that SSR7 track. I also noticed that in city ROME, some trees also flickers:scared::



Weird thing!

I haven't seen that yet but I will keep my eye out for it. See if I can see what y'all are talking about.

Yeah just stop your car in either SSR7 where the yellow lights reflections are, or trees in city ROME, change to cockpit view and see the flickering effect :dopey:

Exactly what I was TRYING to describe in my original post, lol. It is nice to know there are others out there that have the same EYE for things I do.

Of course I have a mild case of OCD too so I am sure that doesn't help anything, lmao.

Yeah, I notice it most at the start of a race when the camera pans around your car on the starting grid.

It's one of the biggest disappointments in the game for me. PD have spent so much time and energy getting everything looking so beautiful... and the shadow effects are jagged and flickery.👎

Happens on Monza for me and another track. Think it was La Sarth.

Yes, I noticed this last night on Monza, ALOT during the B spec Dream Car Championship. On the starting grid by the race stands and the first chicane trees all had very noticeable flicker. It is quite disappointing to see in an otherwise highly detailed game. It's alright though, I still love this game.

Yeah gotta love it!
 
well I'm using a 1080i tv and I've lowered the screen size in the display settings to 90% which is the lowest. It looks a TON better and flickering stopped happening. To make sure if this is what'll work, after you buy a premium car and it asks if you want to get it, do the graphics of the car flicker? It used to for me.
 
I also noticed when putting rims on premium cars, if you look very closely at the brakes behind the rims or the rims for that matter, there is some flickering going on there too.
