Strange textures and "river stripes"

[moggel]

Thanks for that last patch, it did improve things performance wise for me. However, starting with the previous patch I get these weird textures:

Also, I constantly see another graphics "artifact" around rivers:

These "stripes" have been there from start however so it's not related to the patches.

Is it just me or has anyone else seen these things?

Haven't seen the strange repeating textures, but occasionally I do get the "river stripes"

Is it really just me seeing this?

I have the stripes since day one...

i get the stripes too. you need to higher everything other than shadows and shading turn them low or off if you can, this way the stripes are somewhat reduced

Ok, thanks for the tip on how to reduce the river stripes. Like I said: They've been there from the release so it's nothing that's been added by the patches.

How about the repeating distant textures? They arrived with path #1 and remains after #2. Have anyone else experienced them? To me they are far more annoying than the river stripes since they kill the immersion completely.

I'll try updating my video drivers, just for good measure, but the my whole system is a brand new install so I doubt it will do much good. We'll see though...

Yes I see them at certain angles, have also seen water tiles speckled on mountains in the multiplayer DF missions, but they are junk anyway.

I have tried many graphics settings and it did not matter if it was on high, med or low, still there

Yup I see the stripes. I think the technical term for it is z-fighting where texture layers try to appear ontop of one another because they are too close together.

S!

Well, the AMD can do nothing about it if they do not know about it. So the easy way to get their attention is via Driver Feedback Form found HERE. I also wish devs would comment on this as well.
