Area light bug

nimlot26

Hey guys!
I have a problem and I'm not sure if it's my video card the problem or the marmoset.
I have the latest drivers for my video card and I haven't had this problem before....it just happened yesterday for the first time...

So short explanation.... when i increase the light shape on x or y i start to get a weird flicker bug all over my model that stops if the length is set back to 0 or if i go far away from my model(sometimes).
Here is a video with the problem:

You're not the first person to have this bug, Quixel actually experienced it at GDC. Thanks for the video, we're looking into what's causing this.

Thanks for the quick reply. I really hope you will find a solution for this....

Yeah the problem right now is narrowing down the cause, as we've been unable to successfully replicate it internally.

which gpu and drivers are you using? and does the problem persist if you roll back drivers to the previous version?

I have a GeForce GTX 760 and I'm using the latest drivers 347.88
I have tried the latest 3 drivers I had from nvidia and the problem is still there. I might search for an older driver to see if it will still be a problem.

I just tried 345.20 and 344.65 driver and they failed.
So i took the oldest one listed on the nvidia site... 341.44.... and it's working...no more artifacts....hopefully it will stay like this
