Inquisition: Raining in buildings and caves.
My problem is that in any zone in which there is active rain, every building and cave I enter has wet walls, and water effects as if they are outside.
Is there any setting or fix I can do for this?

- Is this just normal, or is this a bug? If it isnt a bug, then its unexcuseable. If you lack the coding ability(or publisher is forcing release of the game before polish) then how about disabling the rain for a whole zone? Or just not use rain at all during gameplay. Its not even a good rain effect, assassins creed 4's engine solved this problem,and they are the most overworked big game studio i can think of.
Was this fixed in any update already,? I have not updated the game since release(only get 2 gigs bandwidth a month) This seems quite reasonable to me. Sustained rainfall, which is what you get in some of the regions, has to go somewhere. Water finds its ways into caves, and the best of roofs will not last forever. And speaking from experience, all it takes is one builder to make a mess of re-pointing a wall and you can end up having major damp problems.

Well no, its not quite reasonable. I don't think its a bug or a big deal, but the textures in rainy areas are the same inside and out. Actual rain is kept out.
This isn't unheard of, many games have this issue and few have found ways around it. Best to just deal.
- Best to just deal with it? Not saying i disagree,but does it bother you to have to say that? From an artistic standpoint,its pretty goofy looking when you see buskets of water streaming down the walls,and furniture,people just walking around like its totally normal, and wierd drops of water cascading over the beautiful character models. It looks so good but this one wierd glitch is a loud reminder that its a video game.
Personally, i would have refrained using the rain effect for entire zones,and parts of the game clearly show that changing the weather is possible,then just stop the global wet shader? I mean, its obvious that its a global setting being applied,as every possible surface in the game is wet. Common sense would suggest that you could just put area triggers of some sort to disable the wet surface shader when you go indoors.
Im on pc btw, played on an nvidia 750ti and then upgraded to sapphire radeon 290 tri fan. Problem was on both setups, and occurs on both mantle and dx11.
Amd 8350fx occed to 4.4ghz
8 gigs of corsair whatever the hell ram
Samsung ssd of some type
Updated all drivers and windows updates but running original non patched version of the game.
If someome could give me an exact file size on the current patches, i could mabye update it. I have a 2 gigabytes a month bandwidth plan on my cellphone which i tether to my desktop. Only internet service available way out in the deep south us.
Can anyone comment on this issue being present on console versions? Or if it occurs on a fully updated version? It also snows inside buildings, like the owner of the quarry's house in Emprise Du Lion
- You do realize that by blindly supporting and defending a game developer on issues such as these just creates worse games,right? Regardless of your opinion of the company, you OWE it to them, and every gamer everywhere to at least bring attention to matters such as this. I was already dissapointed that they might as well lied about destructability being a major feature, and i have come to expect that of a multiplatform game. But walking into a nice house, and seeing water cascading over every surface as if someone was spraying a water hose everywhere, people laying in a bed while water flows over them. Thats just **bleep**,and a huge oversight that should not be happening.
I think the customer base deserves better, and they should have more artistic integrity, and not allow it to happen. Now if anyone wants to defend the game company so that the future games they play are not as good as they could/should be, go right ahead. I've been underground and in buildings with intact roofs where it is actively snowing, exact same graphic as outside the cave, tunnel or building.
I would guess the floors of these areas are mistakenly tagged as "outside," assuming there is some code to differentiate between outdoors and indoors that determines where weather effects should go.
As for the entire wet walls and seepage debate.... guys. C'mon.
