So I’ve noticed since I started playing this game (on PC), that random white and red dots keep appearing and dissapearing on the screen in seemingly random locations. They only last for a split second.
This is solo. GPU: GTX 1070, all drivers and Windows 10 are updated.
I’ve found white dots to be more common when walking along a main road, and red dots to be more common when looking at a body of water (like a lake). However, they can mix.
I adjusted some settings to see if I could get rid of them or minimise them, and it seems that turning off SSAO reduces them (at least the white dots, I didn’t test the red ones).
After many failed attempts, I managed to capture a picture of a red dot on my way to the abandoned castle.
I don’t have the exact coordinates of the above picture, but it’s the body of water closest to the middle of the map in this picture, where I am standing near the orange path closest to the edge (approx. south-west of the castle):
As far as I can tell, those are lights/particles that get “disconnected” from the robots. You can see the same thing happen with the blue flame jets from the seekers sometimes where a pair of them will be floating in the air.
Glad I’m not the only one who has noticed these random dots appearing! I thought they were disconnected lights as well, but these look almost more like holes than lights. Certainly a curious problem.
