Foliage flickering after patch

After the patch the foliage is flickering like crazy no matter what settings I use (this is on low). Didn't have this issue before the patch.

My specs if needed: i7-12700K - MSI PRO Z690A DDR4 - G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3200C16D-32GVK - Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080

    Thanks! @RetroBitPixel Could you do a clean install with the Drivers and update to 511.23 and see if that helps.

    @EA_AticSame issue as before even the rock textures on other maps are flickering now. Got no issues in other games.

    @RetroBitPixel I have had a few instances of the game when it would make things flicker, like shadows on buildings, or walls on buildings having textures that would flicker, but restarting game "normally" fixed it, however, I have yet to see an instance of this since the latest Nvidia drivers came out.

    There is certainly an issue with the game with flickering things, there is a known issues list somewhere that states there being an issue with them.

    @NBKTHE1 Hmm.. weird. This is a brand new PC with a fresh install of Windows all the updates and drivers are the latest. Also tried rolling back to previous and even older nvidia drivers but I still get this flickering.

    @RetroBitPixelI can confirm this also flickers for me on the map Discarded (this only did it once for me today, I played that map a few times and others were fine). 3090 user here, along with a 12900k, its just a broken game.

    However, it does not do it all the time, but will randomly do it.. Its not your system, its just the game, my friend also has same issue randomly too. Its like it cant work out what geometry to cull so just flickers, as I think if you stand still it stops until move again?

    If you are like me, you will probably look out for oddities, which is also a curse, i will actively look for them where as most people wont even care, curse of PC gamers hoping their hardware is not broken, its not your system, its fine, just a bug.

    This was in some known issues back before xmas, so take it with a pinch of salt:

    Discarded

    • There are some rare instances of visual flickering while playing on Discarded (Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC only)

    @NBKTHE1 The flickering does stop indeed when I stand still. Ye I figured it's not related to my hardware nor settings etc. we will see. Pretty much done playing Battlefield for now.
