Black dots and textures appearing on lightsaber/blaster
Product: STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug Dotted black artefacts appearing on lightsaber hilts and the blaster when viewed closely, such as at the workbench. The amount of black artefacts on the screen increase as you zoom into the lightsaber hilt, until it is almost completely black and missing lighting and texture. This is not present every time I am looking at the lightsaber or blaster, but has still happened dozens of times throughout my 100 hrs of play time. I have many screenshots of this which I will try to upload. Something which occurs 100% of the time is a black ring around the base of the secondary lightsaber Harmony switch. It looks like a texture is completely missing from a surface, causing very unnatural visuals from all distances.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The first bug, related to the black artefacts appearing on the blaster and lightsaber hilt, happens completely randomly and there does not seem to be a specific way to force the bug to reveal itself. I think I have noticed it more towards the end of a session, so perhaps is linked to having the game running for a few hours or more. The second bug related to the Harmony switch is always present for me on PS5. There is no way to prevent it or get rid of it, which has made me stop using it unfortunately.
What happens when the bug occurs? Black spots appear on the lightsaber and change when rotating or changing the view. There is no other change in frame rate or other textures in the game world, it seems exclusive to the lightsaber and blaster. A black ring around the base of the harmony switch which is quite noticeable especially when viewed at a distance as it does not scale properly.
What do you expect to see? I expect to not see any of these black artefacts on the screen. It completely hides the material of the blaster and lightsaber and I haven’t found a way to solve it.

Finally, some screenshots of the strange black ring around the Harmony switch on the secondary lightsaber. When blurring the image in photo mode you can see it stand out even more:
