I know I’m not alone in finding the twinkling of blurred background elements really distracting. It’s like the specular highlights which are maybe even one pixel in size get blurred and flicker on and off in the background – it’s really noticeable in certain scenes and on shiny objects like Lae’zel’s armor. I was really hoping Patch 6 would fix this, but no luck. I’ve checked on Twitch and YT and it looks like it’s happening for everyone, not just my setup.
Interesting I did not see what you are describing in Patch 5 on my end running Vulcan client (works better with my Radeon VII card than Direct X). I will check again once I get this patch downloads (takes forever through GOG at 76.21GB). I can check on my laptop later too which I run on Direct X (has a RTX 2060 card in it), but that will be a separate download of ... 76.21GB.
