Thread: Post 7.0 Graphics Update Issues Mega-Thread (non-character related)

Since we have a post already for character-related graphics issues. I wanted to start a mega-thread for any other issues we are seeing that have popped up post graphics update. I am playing on PS5 paired with a Samsung QD OLED.


I've noticed the following:

1. Cutscene stutters in zone opener cutscenes. It only happens in the opening cutscenes for a new zone during the narration.

2. Really obvious image ghosting when rotating the camera. I notice this heavily when rotating the camera around my character as well when it rotates around trees and objects. This never occurred prior to 7.0 and it looks like the the bad TAA implementation SE is known for has struck again with the new graphics (it was really and XVI and Rebirth). I can live with it but it is annoying. **I've confirmed with friends they've noticed this on PC and Xbox as well**

3. Night skyboxes seem really off. I don't know if it was intended for it be so bright, but many zones which used to have crystal-clear dark starry skies now have this bright/hazy look. The stars all seem to have really bad blooming too which never occurred for me prior to the update.

It happens in both old and new zones - it is very conspicuous in the palace hall in Tuliyollal, and there are other warmer lights also reflected in the floor but bearing no resemblance to what can be seen on the ceiling.

I've noticed this too. I've also noticed white spotlights in my character's eyes from time to time even fi there's isn't a direct light source to create the reflection. Grass is also bugged out in Radz-at-Han in some areas.
