Hello! i have been playing the game Sonic Frontiers on my laptop with the intel iris xe integrated gpu but i have been experiencing problems with the game rendering.
this seems to be something ONLY intel gpu's (especially the Iris Xe!) are suffering so please! read this post carefully
IMPORTANT objects like: trees and rocks simply do not render and are invisible wich makes the game world look very dead and causes navigation problems because i keep running into stuff i can't see!!! later islands like rhea suffer the most because it is FULL of trees
- here are some images and how it is supposed to look like:
-here is how it looks:
-and here is how it's supposed to look:
(i achieved the appropriate result on the second image with the use of dxvk BUT, there is a BUT!!! this method is very unstable and WILL make the game crash AND i can't run mods on my game because dxvk uses a dll with the same name as the one the modloader uses. so i really wish a fix could be made to the game!)
-here are more example images:
-you see this? its supposed to be an oasis! full of trees and rocks but theres nothing!!!:
(unfortunately i can't provide an image of how it is supposed to look like because my game CRASHES with dxvk!)
-the characters are meant to be standing on a rock BUT there's no rock!
-also shaders like the ones used on water are missing, shaders that make the game world more pretty:
-without dxvk (normal. intel gpu in action)
-with dxvk (pretty but super unstable and no mod support!)
(i know it is hard to notice but once you see it, you can'r unsee it!)
-the big smoke effect does not render like it should on chaos island:
(see how grainy it looks?)
-i also suspect that MANY other shaders do not work at ALL
i really really hope a fix would be made to this as these problems realy impact the experience and many other players who share the same gpu as me also have these problems
i am 100% willing to respond to the intel support team and offer feedback on driver updates related to this game!
i eagerly await an response!
until then i wish you all the best!
-EDIT!!! i just reached rhea island and just look at this! there are no trees!!!
(this is unacceptable!)
-just look at this screenshot from the INTERNET so you can have an ideia of just how big of a problem this is:

yes!! thank you for the response i will gadly reply to your questions, so:
1-no, it has always been like this from the start, other intel iris xe users also have reported these problems on the internet (like on steam forums for an example) but not here. so i'm the first to bring this to intel support.
here's an example of someone reporting this problem outside intel support:
2-here are my game settings:
3- here is the file you requested:
i gadly await an reply!
hello there! i just wanted to add some extra stuff i noticed here
-the foliage around structures doens't render:
here's how they are supposed to look (images from the internet):
well i just felt like pointing that out. if you guys at intel are working on a fix for all these problems i really hope you all are finding more issues than me, after all i'm just one girl reporting this i can't realistically find every single problem and report it.
well, good luck there! i hope to see updates soon.
