Town Center pixelated and disappears

On the Xbox One...While exploring Town Center almost all the accents on buildings flicker in and out of existence, such as windows, doors, pipes, trash, etc. In several of the quests there, the pots you need to grow plants in disappear or only show up when you are very close to them.

  • @Phayd Followup for previous post. I don't think it was the hard-reset that fixed my issue. When I hard reset, my Kinect didn't come back on.

    The game played great and didn't have any issues. But later on, I reset Xbox again to get the Kinect to turn back on, and noticed the game quality degraded again.

    Now I'm playing with the Kinect disconnected, and it appears to resolve the issue.

  • I have the same issue, pvz BfN is the only game giving problems my xbox isnt overheating at all and the drive is fine, I've seen a few other people also experience this and it happens anywhere, its completely random seemingly and can happen after any time the game tries to load an area, if the area does load glitched, you cant remove it without restarting the game, and it all just loops from here

    Edit: i also forgot to add but all people i have talked to who experienced this are on the original xbox one

  • Count me in on this issue as well. XBox One, at first it seemed the "random items spazzing out/disappearing" was only while playing Split Screen with my partner. It does it with Town Center, Giddy Park, and during Turf Takeover. Very difficult to hit a target when it's not showing. 

    But, today, playing single player, it is doing it consistently as well. Rebooted, etc. doesn't seem to work. Almost as if the server is having an issue keeping the graphics loaded. *shrug

    So far, nothing specific as for overheating with the system, just the graphics during gameplay glitching in/out.

    Eta: Also just noticed that I had promoted my Peashooter last night, and this morning I had to go through the promotion process again. 

  • This happens to me all the time. It makes the game unplayable. Please fix this. I notice it happens a lot when you click the xbox button on the controller.

  • I am plagued by this issue as well. I cannot see NPC zombies at a distance. They are shooting at me before they flicker into view!

  • Also had this issue where the textures would flicker and sometimes the character models wouldn't load.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't help.

    At one point the game locked up on a black screen and I couldn't get it to launch anymore.

    Hard restarted the XBOX (hold the power button on the console for 5sec) and both the black screen issue and the flickering textures have gone away.

    Try doing a hard restart..

    @Phayd Thanks for digging up the cause, I have confirmed Kinect can cause some issues and have forwarded the information for investigation.
