Shadow Flickering with upscalers still an issue. Need more support tickets sent.
This is an issue that has plagued the game since release with the upscalers and I've seen little mention of it online.

Shadows, when set to High or Very High will cause severe flickering on some surfaces and areas in the game (though mainly on clothing and weapon pieces) when one of the upscaler options is enabled. I have even seen some instances of the flickering with Medium shadows but it's largely more rare and mitigated.

Here is a video I uploaded showcasing the issue:

It's been a while since the last patch was released but maybe if we can get more support tickets sent about this bug it will force them to investigate and fix it.

Here is the support link: https://www.playstation.com/en-ca/horizon/support/

Click on Forbidden West, then "Technical (Performance, Crashes)" then "Other" twice until you get to the page to fill out a ticket. Don't forget to put "PC" as the platform.

To easily see the issue, go to the tavern in Chainscrape and initiate dialogue with Petra, you'll see the flickering like in the video with DLSS or FSR enabled as well as shadows set to High or Very High.

Curious if you have noticed this anywhere else in the game ? The inner tails of Petra's hat flicker on mine. In 166 hours I haven't seen this anywhere else in the game. Not saying it isn't there but I usually notice this kind of stuff while playing. Wondering if its only happening in this one area.

I'm still making my way through the game but seen it a little on other NPCs here not just in this area. It's a minor visual bug mostly but it shouldn't be like this and has just been left in this state. Besides this bug I've noticed some white flashes on some Utaru NPCs which doesn't seem to be connected to upscaling.
