Graphics - Driver reflection outside the car when driver is inside

After update 11 the reflection of the driver appears outside the car. This happens on every car I’ve tested, appears also in photo mode. The video up here shows exactly what I mean.
Xbox Series X performance RT mode update 11

That looks like the reflection you get in Horizon 5 in Photo mode, if your character is placed outside the car. I wonder if they’ve started to port that feature over to FM, but haven’t got it perfected yet, so it’s bleeding into areas where it shouldn’t?

But this happens in race and in photo mode

Yeah, that’s what I meant by:

When racing with chase camera, strange static object is sometimes reflected on car roof. It apparently should nt be there. It is neither moving nor changing. I found out it is actually reflection of a driver figure that is sitting inside the car. One can easily recognize racing suit colour and helmet. Reflected on the roof! It usually disappears after cycling through all cameras back to chase cam, but sometimes helmet stays no matter what you do. Does not happen when watching replay.

There’s a reflection bug introduced in Update 13

I’ve reported this long time ago since update 11 if I’m not mistaken… Look update 13 and still present … They do care about graphics sure…

I dont know what that screen shot shows but yeah it’s been there since day one. Annoying semi circle shadow or something bouncing around and shifting shape right in front of the car. Whenever the tarmac is illuminated by the sun or headlights at night, you’ll see it.

Super hard to miss. I hope the devs are looking into it. Totally ruins the textures, look, and feel of the road in front of the car.

It’s the driver reflection on the side of the car . Always there in any car any mode.

Right - but I was referring to the shadow or texture morphing that occurs right in front of the car whenever there is a light source bouncing off the tarmac.

Do you remember reporting that missing water splash on front wheels ?
Look at this response from one of Forza forums moderators “We are closing this bug as we deliberately don’t spawn splashing from the front tires due to spray intersecting with the car body.”
I understand that we will never get this fixed.

As stated it has been there in Performance RT and Visual for a very long time. It does not show up when light sources hits directly, mainly in the darker areas or shadows. You can see that it is the driver standing next to the car in the glass surface and paint.

I feel like they just hope most people ignore it or dont notice it so they dont have to address. More need to respond to post like these.

Yes I believe this is the same bug the OP has reported. It’s been logged.

After update 14 Is still there. To me It happens only in the races that came with the update. Free races are ok. I noted something, that sometimes Is on the night/passenger side and sometimes Is above the car. It seems stupid but for me this thing works. When it happens, I change the camera Place by switching from outside tò inside until back tò where I was outside. It works. Dont know if It would work for everyone. Thought might share with others. Hope It does.

I have noticed this a few times but only during career.

I think there’s a lot of RT related shadow and reflection bugs going on which I’d rather they address sooner than later.

Is it fixed on update 15?

haven’t noticed any such anomaly so far although my game is freezing in Free Play after ending or restarting some races.

@Pilsen4791
Does this issue still persist after recent updates? Would it be possible to provide a recent video of this in action?
