Never noticed this before but since TU13.2 there seems to be some really horrible reflections in the game, windows on buildings changing from mirrored windows to pixelated windows, the only way i can describe it is they look like their is billions of ants moving with a watery effect, this is mainly happening in the open world.

It's also happening on other parts of the game, flickering shadows on equipped weapons, flickering door frames.

I did do a video but the quality was not good enough, it seems Xbox has problems taking good quality videos/pictures that are shareable.

Sorry these are not the best quality, blame Xbox not me

Short video, you will see that when i move to the right and aim at the building it looks ok but when i move to the left a bit and look at the building you will see what i mean.

Also some screen shots:





Sorry about the quality, it's hard to show it unless you are in the game as it looks comeplety different.

@ubi-gizmo

Sorry dunno why but i deleted it, here is a new one, best played on full screen to notice the effects:

Again sorry for the resolution, xbox ain't the best for uploading videos.

p.s This happens on all mirrowed windows....the ant effect always happens on most shaded areas.

Here you go, this video should work:

Thanks @Ubi-Froggard

Another graphical problem that occures randomly:

@oatiecrumble
They are called screen space reflections. That is the way how they work, they're reflecting the rendered image. If a object like the other building moves out of the screen space in this case behind another object, it cannot be reflected anymore.

The second video shows a light shaft, the resolution obviously isn't great, but that's normal.

I know what you mean with your moving ants, it's similiar to noise on a camera sensor.
On PC at least "The Division 2" uses TAA (temporal anti aliasing) to blur that noise, if you turn TAA off in the config file it will look the same, I don't know which setting the console uses. Maybe they turned it down or included the wrong settings in the latest Division patch.

Here you go, just normal behaviour. (This is on pc btw.)

@ubisushivamp
It isn't a problem. That's just normal, that's how Division 2 looks. No need to report something here.
Really appreciate the attention on this, but there are a lot of other things that still need fixing. I mean like real bugs.

I'm not 100% sure about that, been playing since launch and have never seen it before in game, only started recently......and i have a very eagle eye for detail as i have always loved how detailed this game is.

Maybe it's my t.v because it a much better one than i had before and it's picking up things more than my old monitor:

Old monitor: BenQ 27inch 4K
New T.V: LG C1 48inch with Dolby Vision ON - AMD Freesync Premium OFF - VRR ON (HDMI 2.1)

But if it is that's still no excuse imo.....games need to adapt to new technology.

@oatiecrumble

I've been playing since the alpha.
I'm 100% sure, but I don't want to undermine you, at least from my side there is nothing to report. I just wanted to add something to the conversions in terms of comparison to pc gaming. It is 1080p and you can clearly see the noise, but like I said before, that's how division looks.
I can downsample from 1440p or even 2160p and it's less recognizable due to the resize process of the picture.

Also YouTube does a great job choping all these details away in a moving picture because of the compression in the encoding process.

And you already mentioned your problem. You switched from a small 27" monitor to a 48" tv screen and I don't think the consoles can output native 4k while running division. Its using taa (temporal anti aliasing) to reconstrunct the image up to 4k, but rendering it internally at a much lower resolution. So stuff like this noise becomes more and more visible on a big screen.

Additionally my view for the light shaft, it isn't the same sun angle.
But probably close enough.

Just some info:

I run the game at:

• 4K (I believe that the Xbox runs native 4k at 3840 x 2160 but i think the PS5 runs at a lower res)
• 3840 x 2160
• 120fps (not that it matters as i believe it's capped at 60fps for consoles)

I know about the Youtube compression and how it messes with videos, the video i posted doesn't really show it well and that clip was just a small sample, i have seen much worse but i don't fancy taking clips all day, well not on Xbox anyway (PITA)

Just for info, ALL other games work perfectly, no graphical issues at all......zero.....nada.

Maybe it is the new t.v i dunno but it's annoying, especially considering it does not happen with other games.

If it was a cheap t.v maybe but it's probably if not the best t.v out there for consoles.

I dunno, i do try and ignore it but because i know it's there i look out for it....Damm OCD

Another graphical issue i encounter a lot, if you look at the balconies you will see them flickering:

NOTE: BEST TO WATCH VIDEOS IN FULLSCREEN
