Ghost of Tsushima black spots bug

[PepoIRISXEl29]

Hi, I have an i5 11th gen proccessor with iris xe Integrated graphics and 24gb of ram. My game runs fine but presents this artifact on the edges of the screen. Seems like other players with higher specs than me have the same issue. I bought the game from steam and i'm running the lastest driver available. Do you have a fix for this?

Yeah, that's what i've encounter, seems the problem appeared with the latest updates of the game. Might check installing older drivers, do you know if the game can roll back to previous versions too?

its likely tied to a recent game update or a compatibility change between the game and newer driver versions. Try rolling back to an earlier Intel graphics driver, particularly one that predates the appearance of the issue. Driver version 31.0.101.4885 or 31.0.101.4577 are known stable builds for many DX12 titles and may help eliminate the artifacting. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to perform a clean uninstall before installing an older version. You can find archived drivers on the Intel Download Center under “Previous Versions.”

Unfortunately, Steam does not support rolling back to previous game versions by default, unless the developers provide a beta branch or legacy build through the game’s Properties > Betas section. You might want to check there or reach out to Sucker Punch via their forums or Steam Community for official word on game version rollbacks. But In the meantime, try toggling in-game settings like:

• Motion blur, anti-aliasing, or any edge enhancement filters

• Switching between fullscreen/windowed/borderless modes

These tweaks may help mitigate the issue temporarily.

in addition the game is optimized for discrete graphics, so if your system includes a dedicated GPU, it’s worth ensuring it’s being used. Relying solely on integrated graphics may be contributing to the performance issues you're encountering
