Hi @imitheo99 and @stalker-svk

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will begin working on reproducing and keep you posted.

In the meantime, can you clarify a couple of questions for me so I can get a better idea of the issue:

1. Does this issue only happen underground? And does it get worse/change when there are more artifacts in the frame?
2. Does reducing the graphics settings change how the issue appears, if at all?
3. Do just the visuals get affected, or is there a drop in FPS/performance as well when reproducing the issue?

[stalker-svk]

it goes away when I set "Compute effects" setting to Low which disables volumetric fog and it that bug does not affect FPS

[stalker-svk]

happens also outside, not only underground. it happens wherever is the fog,
