Dark spots on track glitch increased after 1.7

Recommended Posts

Guys, I was aware of the dark spots on the track glitch before. But before 1.7 it happened very rarely, at least to me. Is it a coincidence that after I installed 1.7 I've raced on 3 tracks in career mode and ALL of them had that same shadow/dark spots on the track??

On PS4, Two seasons running I've seen it in Brazil, Monza, China and Silverstone. Also Spa too. Happens in career (25%) and the invitational events. Sometimes it's just dark patches, sometimes more severe (like being literally in the dark), and sometimes it's long shadows but without an object to cast those shadows/sun not being in the right place to create those shadows. 

Perhaps a bit of of a problem somewhere in the time-of-day vs light rendering gubbins. It carries through between sessions too, so if you're in p1 and you got this problem, it'll be like that the entire weekend, whether you quit and reload, or not.

Oh yeah, and it's also only on the ground - track, kerbs, gravel etc etc.

I've just had the dark spots issue appear.
It was the post S2 Monza invitational at Spa using the Ferrari. Just random dark shadow blobs every so often along the track.
PC - Ultra settings

I've seen it at Brazil, Great Britain, Azerbaijan, Italy and Belgium.

Maybe Monaco too, but it might have just been genuine buuilding shadow(s)


Brazil was the biggest offender.

I had this same thing at Bhaku and Silverstone with large dark patches all over the track you could not see where you were going, but since patch 1.7 I have not had this issue.
I'm on PS4, weird that some say there are still experiencing this on PS4.
I'm racing on 50% race distance and I have just raced at Siverstone in the rain and there were no black shadows.

Had it on Xbox one at Hungary yesterday. I restarted the xbox and they disappeared. Seems to sometimes happen when I don't shut the game down and just switch on and continue from a previous session. I've had similar bugs with other games. Always a good idea to reboot a game each time you play.

Hi everyone, can anyone post any screenshots of the issue please?

Also listing what game mode you're using and describing what you did prior to getting the dark spots would be valuable info as well.

Thanks :)

Hi, Rachel. Unfortunately I don't have any images here. I was playing my career mode normally and then I put my PS4 on rest mode. When I got back to playing, the problem was happening. What I did was restart the app. In Monza and Baku that worked. But in Brazil it didn't.

Thanks for the help.

I have noticed it in brazil, but I thought it was the shadows, as I only encountered it late in the day, and where I did see it, the sun was on the other side of the cranes and trees, which is why I thought it was a shadow, if it is, then well done to codemasters, not many people worry about shadows
