Graphical bug that might need to be warned about...

I'm running DX11 and encountered an odd flicker as I neared an area for a cutscene. Went into it and encountered this...

Might just be my GPU got messed up for whatever reason, but felt I might need to warn some people lol. The shadow bubbles blinked/flickered in the lighting all the time, but it did it A LOT at certain angles, so small seizure/epilepsy warning on that one.

GPU: GTX970

If anyone else is running the same card with up to date drivers, and on DX11, but didn't encounter this then it might be just me.

I got Fatal error in DirectX 11 when I tried to run game with it. Which is stupid, my computer is updated to that but I switched back to 9 and everything works fine for me.

It might just be bugged in general then to run DX11, though still too soon to know for sure I guess.

I didnt have any issues with my 770s, just the usual game errors with everyone attacking the servers at once.

Might be a 900-series issue then. The same thing happened around when personal housing was released. Terrain shadows/fog/water effects would flicker when the the camera was facing certain directions or just off in general, like certain areas of the canyon/gorge in the Goblet. Again, assuming this isn't just me lol.

I was having alt tab issues just trying to log in with Dx11. And it kept going into window mode as well =\

Are you using a 900 series GPU?

Same here, game just goes into Windowed mode when I try to alt-tab. :(

>GTX 980

So I've found a spot to recreate the shadow issue. From what I can see, it's definitely a refresh issue. I'm playing on a 120hz monitor and lowering the refresh/FPS cap to 60 or lower makes the same problem pop out like normal. Leaving it at 120 or None will cause it to come about only during certain lighting and angles are on-screen. Alt/tab will cause the refresh to go crazy and provoke the problem. Playing in windowed doesn't help much. Well, I guess I'll just have to set it back to DX9 until NVIDIA can push out a patch for it. Hopefully it doesn't come out with DX9 too for me lol.

Have had my UI flickering (player names, party list, hotbars) rapidly when walking around the new areas with DX11. Switching back to DX9 until there's some sort of fix. GTX 970, GTA V Driver (can't use the latest ones, they cause TDR's constantly when browsing chrome)

ive had no issues so far with gtx 980

My game gets to the loading screen. I here the area music and it just crashes. So i went back to DX9 lol

The game says I don´t have Directx11 even though I have, my graphic card supports and everything on pc is super über up to date. Don´t know what to do anymore... C'mon SE, my DX11 is here!!

I'm getting name flickering (and interchanging names between players and NPCs). HD7950s in crossfire. Thought it was CF at first, but others with single GPUs are reporting the same thing.

I run an AMD R7970 on DX11 windowed mode (which i then double-click to make fullscreen - i have to do this to limit the refresh rate to suit my monitor) and report that, while I havnt experience the exact same issue as OP, I do do experience times where it looks as though semi-transparent textures arent rendering. I first noticed this on the Egis, but then also where player's weapons would normal glow they werent or only partly. And I dont know if its intensional but I find that in cutscenes the surfaces all look very bland like no shine to them.

Now you mention it I too had that but I've seen it in other games too so dismissed it as just 'one of those things'

Mine is 7950 as well, but I can´t even get the game to reconize my DX11 (all drivers and DX up to date, of course)

got a solution! I downloaded the beta version for the new Radeon driver (15.5 Beta). http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloa...Windows+7+-+64

now the game recognizes my DX11.

I am also experiencing name flickering when I first log in or zone. It stops when I move the mouse but some names don't show correct. Sometimes in dungeons while fighting mobs I often see the names of the mobs we fight flicker to one of the party players. I am also running a cf setup & have tried an assortment of settings but nothing seems to completely eradicate it. I am also running the game in dx11 mode.

You might want to put this bug into in-game bugs thread using the right template or there is high possibility it won't be addressed at all.

The only issues I've been having is my 780 running quite a lot hotter than usual. Used to top out around 50-55c in FF14. Now, it'll go up to 76c. I experienced some flickering maybe the first day of early-access, but it hasn't happened since.

I recently upgraded from 2 GTX670s in sLI to a single GTX 970. No flickering, but do get the odd random crash every so often. Still doesn't solve the FPS drop in the last boss of Vault (his flame attack kills FPS) and water areas lag during fights.
