I’m trying out Bazzite again after about a year with CachyOS because I don’t have time for tinkering anymore and only play games maybe once a month or so. Anyway, I’m playing some Hitman tonight and noticed this lighting bug a few times. I remember seeing it in Cyberpunk 2077 when I was using Bazzite about a year ago too, shortly before I switched to CachyOS. Does anyone know what’s causing it and how to fix it? If it’s a big deal to fix I won’t bother as I don’t have much time for computers, and don’t want to spend most of that fixing a bug. I took a couple more pictures too, I’ll show below.


If it’s important at all, this is pretty much a clean install, I haven’t done any tinkering at all and have barely downloaded anything either. I downloaded a VPN, a password manager, and otherwise I think everything else is what came with the distro. I have the game running from an external HDD if that makes a difference. I played the game a couple months ago on CachyOS with zero issues.


Hope your gpu is not dying bud
This doesn’t happen on the person, only in the wall. The lightning on the back of his head is good, so this is a shader issue probably
Vram errors can cause simílar glitches.
Those usually affect the whole image independent of the objects limits in the 3d space.
This is not true. Different shaders could be stored in different parts of the memory, so a VRAM issue could definitely affect only specific surfaces. Other GPU issues might affect the whole image but it’s not a sure thing.
That might be true. Honestly it doesn’t align with my personal experience but that doesn’t make it impossible. Subjectively unlikely though. :p
Especially in this economy
