Lighting issues in Apex

★★ Novice

I am having some lighting / shadow issues in s22 of Apex. I have attached a imgur link below with what happens, this occurs frequently where moving around the map / in and out of buildings etc and I am wondering if anyone else has had the issue and has found a fix. I have treied lowering all settings / disabling shadows in the config and using auto exec but no luck.

 

Specs are belowIntel Core i9 13900KS, 24C/32T, 3.2GHz – 6.0GHz
64GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 6200MHz DDR5
24GB ASUS GeForce RTX 4090

Looks like SSAO / Dynamic range is misinterpreting the lighting. Couple of things I would try first: 

 

  • Open NVIDIA control panel
    • Display Tab -> Change Resolution -> Output Dynamic Range (bottom right): Set this to full.
  • Disabling settings in game: 
    • Ambient Occlusion Quality (this is SSAO)
    • Volumetric Lighting
    • Dynamic Spot Shadows
    • Effects Detail (probably redundant)
  • Verify Game Files / Repair Game
    • This will trigger the shaders to reoptimize.

Thanks for your recomendations mate, I tried all of them but to no avail.

I did notice a slight improvement I think with the ambient occulsion setting but the issue is still there and quite prominent.
