I can confirm this. Looks like there’s a selfshadowing bug in cockpit view now. No problem if the car isn’t illuminated by a track light but as soon as the car passes through a light beam the flash appears once the light has been passed. The strobing effect is extremely annoying and makes driving in cockpit view practically unplayable at night on some tracks.

In light of all the new bugs introduced with Update 5 Turn10 better come out with a hot fix ASAP.

Apparently nobody plays in cockpit view given the lack of a reactions & votes on this issue?
This bug is absolutely headache inducing on some tracks.

Indeed. But it won’t be fixed until Update 6 at the earliest (and probably even Update 7 unless Turn10 opens the a ticket ASAP) That’s why people need to vote for it!

That’s exactly what I always think, because nobody cares that since FM6 with the exception of FH4 the interior and dashboard light is always set to night. Even T10 and PG don’t care about this error.

I’m in chase cam and I’m getting flickering. Was ok until update 5

I think a lot of people would have played in cockpit cam if the game were not so awfully broken from that perspective.

I’ve added my vote for you - it’s one of many issues that prevent me from playing on PC with a wheel.

The same on my PC.

Holly s@.! Bug was introduced in Update 5…and isn’t fixed with Update 6!
Not a single Turn10 dev actually plays this game in cockpit view?!
This seems to happen when the car is being illuminated by more than one flood light at the same time.

Same on PC not only in cockpit view. Everywhere there is a high light, it start to flick.
Ultra setting RTX4080
There was not problem with update 5.
Game results almost unplayable, it crap my eyes…….

Same for me, update 6 didn’t fix flickering issue. I think I would like to go back to version without any updates. I have a feeling game had fewer bugs at the beginning. This is absurd.

It did indeed have fewer bugs on launch day!

I’ve been noticing this a lot while testing the game after update 4 and 5 on Homestead-Miami Speedway. I haven’t tested other tracks but I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the actual global illumination system.

it had bad flickering at launch on consol, was gone after Update 3? and returned with Update 5 but this time only at night conditions with lights on track/ in car

Yup. The first flickering bug was a random RT issue which was fixed in Update 3. This one was introduced in Update 5 and only affects cockpit views during night time when more than one flood light is illuminating the car at the same time on Consoles & PCs and seems to be a different from an other flickering bug that only affect PCs since launch. There are so many issue it’s hard to keep track.

I dont’ think that it is the same issue. It’s unrelated to the another sky HDR flickering introduced in Update 6.

Update : I was right. The hot fix is for an other unrelated bug.
