This game is filled with rendering bugs, some have been in the game since release while others have been introduced over the continuous game breaking updates Rockstar games has been pushing out over the years.

This mod page is intended to fix some of the issues i noticed myself, feel free to comment the bugs you have encountered yourself so we can try to fix them.

thanks to IAbokai for pointing this out




- reticle translucent box fix

there is a faint rectangular box around the crosshair that is visible at all times.
This one is hard to showcase as a video, closely inspect your crosshair ingame and it will become clear for you.



- cat tail flicker fix

the cat tail plant bugs out and starts flickering when colliding with the player.



- boat collision fix

Smaller boats like canoes/rowboats appear to be filled with water from a distance.



- bushes collision fix

Certain bushes start to flicker when colliding with peds or objects when transitioning from the highest lod state.



- Bolger Glade Church fix

The model of the small church at Bolgers Glade is broken and flickering (DX12).



- Color banding fix

There appears to be color banding when looking  at the sky.



- Butchers Creek shadow distance fix

Not a bug but a leftover from  the console release that is not needed for pc anymore.



- Screen space shadows "fix"

Extremely noticeable screen space shadow occlusion happening at the edges of the screen.

Sets DirectionalScreenSpaceShadowQuality to 0.0 in the systemsettings, removes most of the issues people have with screenspace shadows in this game.
Can also be done through settings.xml but it will keep reverting, the systemsettings way makes it permanent.



- Low poly distant ped "fix"

Sets PedLodBias to a minimum of 1.0 through systemsettings.ymt to counteract low poly npcs .
Can also be done through settings.xml but it will keep reverting, the systemsettings way makes it permanent.



Broken settings:

- FXAA (DX12)

Keep the ingame fxaa off, creates a vertical black line artifact thats visible at all times.



- REFLECTION MSAA (DX12)

Keep reflection msaa off, creates colored graphical artifacts in cutscenes and any place where depth of field is toggled making it look like your gpu is dying.

- Fullscreen resolution SSAO

Keep fullscreen SSAO on, without it objects that are  at a distance will start flickering.



- MSAA

Keep msaa off, messes with lod transitions.

- Parallax Occlusion Mapping

Setting this to ultra will introduce numerous graphical artifacts all around the map.
