[Graphical Bug] [Graphics Errors when Render Quality is set to High or Highest] [8.4.4]

[mk53v3n]

When I set the option "Render Quality" under "Options -> Performance" to "High" or "Highest", I have some strange graphics errors regarding the rendering of water tiles:

This problem only applies to water tiles, all land tiles are rendered fine.

When I reduce the "Render Quality" setting to "Good" or lower, the rendering issue is gone and everything looks fine (but less detailed of course):



I have no issues with other games. My rig: Intel Core i5-8600K, ASUS GeForce RTX 2060, resolution set to 2560 x 1080, all drivers are up-to-date.

It's not just 8.4.x because I see it too, in 8.3.0. Not as distinct as OP but noticeable. Same as OP, my Render Quality was set for Highest and only when I reduced it to Good did the shadow disappear. Look over by the Bismarck Sea sign.

As said in your other thread, this gets noticed by someone from time to time, and it's not a new issue for sure. Has been there for years. A static geometric shape, looking like a "shadow" in the background.
But it's cool that you've tested some things to find a workaround. Now, it may get fixed in some future patch indeed.

These mystical ley lines are still there on High/Highest Render Quality setting.
You have to exit to editor and go back to see the quality changes.
