Texture "flickering"

Hey guys,

I have recently started playing this game. So far it has been running very smoothly, but from the start I was having issues with grass/ground having some sort of "flicker" when I move. I have tried several different settings and I cant seem to get rid of it, even some google searching did not really help. I am hoping someone here can help me.

An example can be viewed here: https://gfycat.com/harmfulpitifuljoh...ivarealmreborn

While it is not super noticable at the start, with longer play sessions this really starts hurting my eyes, I really need a solution.

My PC speccs:

i5-6600K CPI
16GB RAM
GeFOrce GTX 1070

My speccs should really not be the issue... Playing on a 27", 2k, 144Hz monitor.

Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.


I apologize as I am having trouble discerning your issue from the gif above. How long have you been having this this issue? Could you also provide a system report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

In the gif that I uploaded, look at the grass in the upper part. Thats the "flicker" that I mean. It basically looks like the grass shadows or sth try to render but while I move it just doesnt do it fast enough or something like that. Dont know how to explain it, but imo its very visible what I mean in the video.

This is normal. I can't remember the exact explanation, but it's something to do with a lack of real anti-aliasing, I think. Look up FFXIV foliage flicker/shimmer, etc. on Google. It's annoying at first, but trust me-- you'll get pretty used to it. You can turn down the Grass Quality setting to reduce the amount of foliage on the ground, if you'd like.

I would hardly consider a visual flicker on your screen being normal... I do not have any issues at all with flicker or flashing of any kind playing at max video settings. If anything, the issue may be linked to the video card and its drivers. Verify that your video drivers are up to date and if they are, rollback to the version right before the most recent and see if that helps resolve the issue.

Unless you're seeing something in the video I'm not... this is what foliage looks like on both computers I've owned, plus friends' computers, plus any gameplay footage I've watched recordings of, including presentations from SE. It's just aliasing. I made a thread about this when I very first started playing the game. It's very jarring since most modern games use some form of hardware anti-aliasing solution.

This is what I read in many different areas, still kept hoping that there is some sort of fix for it. I am now lvl 31 already and I did indeed get somewhat used to it. It still looks bad when I notice it, but I guess I just have to live with it.

Thank you for the reply.

I'll have to agree with thrashette. This looks like aliasing on the grass. Since the grass can only be rendered by a few pixels at the distance, it gives a shimmering effect. Using the FXAA anti-aliasing setting in the graphics options can alleviate this a little bit if it's currently turned off.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
