Intel Arc artifact in Metro Exodus:enhanced safe mode

[Bill_da_da]

Hi, 

I am here to report an artifact regarding the artifact when rendering the water surfaces in Metro: Exodus enhanced edition. THe screenshot is attached. The reason to enable safe mode is that the game will randomly crash in normal mode.(another thread covers this)

Thanks,

The image attached in the original thread is at the VOLGA level. However, I do notice there are artifacts in other water surfaces as well like in the desert level.

Hello Bill_da_da,

Thank you for your patience. We would like to let you know that we have been testing the game with our latest graphics driver, 31.0.101.5186, and so far, we have been unable to encounter the issue. Refer to the following video of our testing.

Let us know your results after installing the latest graphics driver. Remember that it is always recommended to run the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) software to eliminate all the previous drivers and leftovers and freshly install the newest drivers.

Best regards

Hi Jean,

I already finished playing Metro and never used safe mode again. I am wondering if the problem is system-specific. I also find that other nvidia card users do crash as well so that they will have to use safe mode. But I already uninstalled the game, I will not be able to retest it on my computer now. 

Thanks,
