BF5 PC Win10 Water texture bug glitch fuzzy blurry pixelated draw distance

I have noticed that about 5M out closeup, and in the distance, the water is rendering blurry, pixelated, fuzzy and blurry. The textures disappear into an indistinct blur. Solutions appreciated.

that is quite normal in this game, i have the same issue and i have a nice rig myself, it has always been like this, you will even notice in some parts of a couple maps like Devastation you will notice very poor textures on certain walls, its just the version of the engine this game was made from, i believe this game is a console port so it has its limitations.

I appreciate the reply, but I’m hoping for a fix here…there has got to be a solution. I have tried turning off DXR, motion blur and a few other things which have improved it somewhat, but it seems that with a triple-A title like this, I should be able to run on max settings, enjoying sheer beauty, even if my FPS takes a hit. I’m OK with that, hit as long as the FPS stays somewhere near my monitor’s 120HZ refresh rate. Anyone else have a tip or trick that has worked to fix this?

hey!

i have EXACLY same problem! i even have much better pc and monitor than you, i tryed everything, it doesn’t work! i look on youtube, it is not like this, all the others dont have this problem, anyone know why?

You can also observe terrain having the same issues.

I think Dice has pushed the graphics to a point, where they can only draw objects at highest quality at very short distances. This maybe because of wanting to push graphics on old consoles, but also a matter of having decent frame-rates on lower end PCs (GTX1060, RX580 etc). It could also be because of some of these graphic effects are slow on frostbite and therefore they have to limit their number to keep frames stable.

I would be nice to adjust the draw-distance on PC though. The performance difference between a GTX1060 and a RTX2080 is huge.

Common thing I notice aswell.

No fix for it as far as I’m aware, And this is on 2080ti.

Eventually with my Gigabyte RTX2070 Super, (which overclocks quite nicely) I just fine tuned my settings and its no longer a problem.

Here’s my current settings, the game still looks stunning while getting 120FPS.

motion blur OFF
ADS DOF effects OFF
Chromatic, Film grain, Vignette, Lens, ALL OFF
DXR OFF
DX12 ON + HDR Auto
Future frame rendering OFF
vsync OFF
Texture quality, filtering, lighting quality, Mesh, Terrain ULTRA
Effects quality MEDIUM
Post processing, undergrowth, ambient occlusion LOW
Antialiasing post TAA HIGH

Other tweaks include setting the “timer tool” tro .5ms (you can download this utility free)
I have my 2070 Super configured with Afterburner and it runs stable and cool at 2010MHz w 8000Mhz memory speed. Fans 100%.

Alright, i fixed the problem guys!

  1. Make a clean Windows 10 instalation.
  2. Download latest graphich driver and put it to your desktop.
  3. Install DDU, go in safemode and uninstall the graphich drivers, after that PC will restart, IMPORTANT (remove the internet cable from your PC when its restarting) if you dont do this windows will install old drivers for your graphich card.
  4. Install the latest drivers you downloaded (se step 2)

It worked for me, its up to you guys to try it :slight_smile:

If you just installed the newest driver the outcome would have been the same. DDU isn’t necessary unless there’s a problem with the driver and a regular repair/reinstall didn’t work or you want to install a different GPU from a different manufacturer. You could also have install windows without internet cable if you don’t want it to look for and install newer drivers. It wouldn’t make a difference tough, there’s a basic driver installed along with windows anyways.

If you are curious how to bios would do it:

Totally unnecessary to reinstall windows.

You’d only really need to reinstall windows if windows was causing issues such as crashes, corrupt files etc.

DDU is only necessary really if you’re trying to resolve graphics issues, it is best to look at the ‘known issues’ on driver releases too as new drivers may have introduced visual bugs to certain titles
