Shadow of the tomb raider lights glitch on series x

DryestFiber · Jul 26, 2021

I've been playing the game for the last 2 weeks, as soon as the X/S logo appeared over the game icon in the dashboard the game started exibiting strange glitches related to lighting, the lights flicker out of control and they seem to move based on your position in the game world.

This doesn't happen all the time though, it happens in some key moments where there is light coming from the sun and i don't know why.

I'd like to know if there's something wrong with my xbox or something like that.

The game didn't have any problem before the "Series" logo appeared over it, it ran just fine.

EDIT:

Just found a youtube video of a series x gameplay showing the same lighting problems i have, makes me think it's the game rather than my console, here's the video: https://youtu.be/C_QFvNFUMjQ

You can see the glitches i'm talking about after 13:59 on the tree on the right and when the camera zooms on the guy after Lara shoots an arrow at him.

Just wanted to say I’m experiencing the same in many area of the game. It’s horrible. Try any mid-game trials or caves and there’s lighting popping in everywhere

Are you sure about wolfenstein 2? Been playing it recently and found out it was glitchy on XOX as well, check out the gunslinger dlc on one x, the shadows go crazy on that one.

By the way, despite Tomb raidee, everything ran pretty well and without many problems

Thanks for the confirmation buddy, then square enix better hurry up and patch it asap.

Thanks again

I've had the same problem and it's happening in a few areas. To me it looked like graphical artifacts like when you overclock your graphics card a little too much. It's very off putting but I just pushed through it. Hope it gets patched soon.

Try to remove your profile, then turn off the console and remove the power cord; wait for 1 to 2 minutes before plugging it back in and turn on the console and sign in!

If the issue persists, I would strongly suggest trying the troubleshooting steps below:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear

Then select System > Settings > devices and streaming > blue ray > persistent storage > clear three times > restart console.

Also, It would be great if you can delete the local save of the game.

This is ridiculous. Videos online show it's a problem with some lighting/shadows on the Series X. What you were asking him to do would have just put him through a lot of hassle and wasted his time for absolutely nothing. Do better.
