Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I've tried fixing this for a few days and can't seem to figure it out. Whenever I load up a new game, or a save, I get an glitch where trees flicker, roads turn blue, and assets disappear whenever I zoom around. No idea what's causing it, tried everything, and only recently started playing the game. Using the loading screen mod it says I have enough ram as well. Tried updating drivers with a clean install, playing without the few mods I have, and whatever else I could find on the forums.

So far the only thing guaranteed to work is either exiting to main menu and loading a new game, or running the game in -force-d3d9 in the shortcut settings.

System info-
Nvidia 3060ti
RAM 32gb 3200mhz
AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
Game installed on SSD

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
Just loading a save or starting a new game. Seems to be a pretty rare bug, but reported before.

Does that mean it was okay before then? Or you've only just got the game?

Does this happen in a new test city you might start with NO mods at all enabled?

For a day or two yes. I had the game for a while, just never really played it much. With the Autumn sale tried it out again and bought a few dlcs I was missing. Namely Campus, Airports, Green Cities, and Parklife I think.

Yes. I also tried running it with some shortcut settings I saw elsewhere; -noworkshop -disablemods -force-d3d9 I think they were? -force-d3d9 was the only one that fixed it.

Disabling mods does not remove effects they've already had on the saved game file. Did you test with a completely new city, that's never had any mods used in it?


You may as well update that nVidia driver to November 2022 https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Then make sure you UNload geForce Experience before starting this game. Any better?

Yes I tested a new city, as well as a fresh install with having deleted any remaining files before installing.

I'm confused. I'm on the latest driver 526.98 (installed via geforce experience, and doing a clean install). What do you mean by "unloading"?

 

[AndrewT]

According to that dxdiag your nVidia driver is from February, there have been several since then including two in November.

Unloading means, well, to unload it! So it is not running, not showing in the task bar or task manager-processes list.
