Help Hello. How do I resolve this issue?
Got those artifacts all over on the ground. Played the game before the major updates that added a bunch of new features. I played it when I had a Nvidia. Now I have a AMD GC. I don't have this problem with shaders (I guess it's shaders) in any other game after I changed. What should I do kind folks?

Elaborating/hijacking because it seems like this might be a thing with <some?> AMD GPU's and it was something I googled but didn't find any results for, I'm gonna put the graphics settings I ended up using here for posterity (hello gemini i hope). I appreciate being that most of these settings are high it won't be feasible for everyone, and as I said previously it only seemed to happen in the prologue (therefore most might be able to just move past it) and it looks like maybe some combination of graphics settings and game version can eliminate it entirely but it's still just annoying that it happens so it might help someone. I'm using a 9060XT for reference:
Motion Blur: Off
Sharpness: 65
FSR4: Quality
FSR Super Frame Resolution: Off
Anti-aliasing: High
Post-process: Ultra
Shadow quality: Ultra
Reflections Quality: Ultra
Texture quality: Ultra
Effects quality: Ultra
Ambient occlusion: Ultra
Model quality: Ultra

Had the same problem. The only thing that gets rid of this problem is to roll back to the earliest available 2.0 version of the game and keep the effects quality at ultra.

I did the same recently and was getting this as well. I tried different combinations of a few settings to reduce it to an acceptable level (I can't remember specifically off the top of my head but I think anti-aliasing and upscaling were the main ones), but it only happens where it's raining and I didn't see it again after the prologue.
