This was brought to my attention by a friend in the party, she noticed it first but after bringing it to my attention i could not 'un-notice' it. She will be posting her specs in the next post along with a video of just the two of us pointing out the flickering pools.

I believe this is called Z fighting, its when two textures are overlapping and fighting to be displayed. Happens a lot in games, nothing to worry about and its probably not your system causing it.

It never used to happen, and in plenty of games it still doesn't happen so there is obviously things that can be done.

[Ignnis]

I see it a lot in console games but you have to really look for it, its nothing to worry over though, just a minor graphical glitch that hopefully SE will fix in the 2.4 patch.

I give my permission for Kusari to post that video with my character in it.

This was introduced since 2.3, i haven't really done cutters much since then.

[Franzisca]

I believe this is called Z fighting, its when two textures are overlapping and fighting to be displayed. Happens a lot in games, nothing to worry about and its probably not your system causing it.

Is that the effect you see when for example 2 BRD's overlap their Flaming Arrow at the same spot? If so that happens to me since launch.

I'm going to have a look at Cutters Cry when i'm home tonight.
