Water in SoD flickering on highest settings

I have an AMD Build, 7950X3D plus 7900 XTX, and the water textures (Liquid Detail) all over the world seem to flicker on High. When put on Low, the Liquid Detail actually looks better and doesn’t flicker.

thx that fixed my problem.

Same here. I have 2 systems, one with an nVidia 3090 and the other with an AMD RX 570. The flickering occurs on both on all settings except fair and lower.

Update: If you are using any addon that has 3D animated portraits, this is what is causing the problem. If you disable that addon, the issue goes away, so it must be related to some change that Blizzard made in the recent patch.

This fixed my issue. I’m able to use High Liquid Detail and just used the 2D portrait. Thanks!

Yes it’s a very odd bug. 3D portraits have been a thing in the game/addons for 20 years and there is no issue in Retail, however the Classic code-base is now affected after the last major patch and there is nothing any of the hundreds of addon devs can do to fix it.
