The last few weeks I've been encountering this odd visual pixelation on particles of smoke where light seems to be penetrating (Almost all smoke always)

Here is a good example of what this looks like https://imgur.com/bzfn5W6

If I take just about 3 steps back it starts to look normal. https://imgur.com/tqBSFDI

I've only experienced this in Vulkan, and only as of the last few weeks. I have tried multiple in game settings and Nvidia control panel settings.

I have an RTX 3080 for my GPU and the newest NVidia drivers.

Hello Nexu, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

If possible, if you are both experiencing this, are you able to roll back your drivers to the previous update that was released in january, to test this for us to make certain the driver update has affected this?

Are there any other affects you have noticed in game that are not appearing as normal?

You should be able to uninstall the most recent driver and roll it back to the previous version found via this link - https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

Of course Nexu., I will report this to the QA team now, to test out on their side too.

Thank you for those screenshots you have sent, this will prove most helpful to us and thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention.

I will open an investigation into this now, please stand by for any questions we may need to ask you from the QA over the coming days!

EDIT: Can you also tell me what settings you are using for the graphics in game to add to our investigation / post a screenshot of you in game graphics settings if you can? Thank you.

Hello Nexu., thank you for this extra information. I will add it to our investigation as this will save us some time, we have to gather as much information as possible to rule certain causes out, so thank you for giving us your in-game settings too.

Hopefully we can nip this in the bud as more player reports begin to come in, for users who may be using the same driver update. I was able to do some more research and we have a current investigation into this that started a few days previously after being reported on our R6 Fic website by other players too.

Here is the link, please feel free to add your own experience if you would like to this report too - https://r6fix.ubi.com/live-server/LI...smoke_effects_
