Horizontal lines at 1440p when using real-time reflection

Thank you for the update DrCalm.

You can try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. This will make sure that no background processes are interfering with the game.

So i have tried that, i even got a new graphic card because my old one kind of died today so i had to buy a new one asap, and even with trying what you said and reinstalling many things, the lines are still there and nothing changed sadly.

Thank you for the update DrCalm.

Based on the information given, my assumption is that this is caused by the graphical settings and resolution combination. Basically, it looks like an aliasing artifact due to the distance from the water and the real-time reflections (reflections are probably rendered at a lower resolution causing some sort of pixelation at this distance). The lines probably appear because they are under just the right circumstances to create that kind of artifact. Unfortunately, the only way around it would be to change either the resolution or the real-time reflections.

Thank you for all the help with this and yeah sadly it seems like it, i have a 4k tv too that i dont usually plug into my PC because the framerate on max goes below 60 and i like my framerate high since i am used to a 1440p 144hz now... and the 4k tv has the same issue . But thats ok since nothing really can be done with it and i don't mind having the setting turned off. So thank you for your help
