Texture rendering/graphics issue on PC
Hello. I've been playing DAI since GOTY edition came out on PC and I've recently realized that there are some problems with visual quality in my game. I play with everything set to highest and my P...

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I have no idea what happened to the screenshots I've posted, I definitely didn't mean them to be that way lol. Sorry about that. I edited the opening post a bit.
I attach the one that really shows what the matter seems to be. A "boring wall" is exactly what you should see, but also a boring wall that is rendered in a quality that is definitely not highest graphics Dragon Age Inquisition. It is definitely not a mod that I'm missing, and it's not that the textures aren't high resolution, they just look completely wrong. Here's a video from the very same wall I have my shot of, behind Cassandra:

THAT is how it looks by default, and it should be that way in the interiors, the fortress in Hinterlands, etc. What I have is a really bad looking mess for no reason I'm aware of. I also attach a shot of the armory nearby just in case.
I'll do a dxdiag once I updated my BIOS, that's the last I can think of but I honestly don't see if that could be it. Thanks for the hint anyway.
OK, I think I see what you mean now (those other screenshots were too hard to look at). In front of your character, a sort of... square of different wall?
Mine sometimes does that when I first enter an area (mainly in Skyhold, with all the people and junk to load), but it 'fixes' (there's a better way to put it... my brain just won't tell me) itself bit by bit after a few seconds, I'm guessing yours isn't doing that? Have you ever fallen through the floor in Skyhold? Often happens running from the main hall into Solas' area when you don't give the game enough time to load everything.
I think the dxdiag will help, might want to include what game graphics settings you're using, too.
Yes. That seemed to be the issue; in patches the wall looks made of a completely different texture than the majority of the stuff. However, someone on reddit just linked me a gameplay video in which someone else playing on absolute ultra graphics has the same thing going on. It might not be a glitch after all, but then again it's the very first time I've seen it look like that outside my game, and I'm still puzzled at why it is actually so. I still think it looks godawful, but at least I know now it's not only with my game so I can stop worrying about hardware issues.
