    So, I was playing my second attempt at a campaign. One of the battles, immediately upon loading, showed glitchy graphics for a split-second and then everything turned dark red (images 1 and 2). I tried turning off AO, FXAA, shadows, etc. to fix it. Upon switching to the lowest preset, I got graphics... Kind of (images 3 and 4). I switched back to Ultra settings, and everything was dark red again.

    I had to end up abandoning the game, since it was impossible to play. And since there's no option to save, I lost the whole campaign too. :(

    Ok your system is fine, but can you please make sure that all settings in Nvidia Control Panel set to default?
    As I see on last screenshot it's looks like you have "Anisotropic filtering" forced in your graphics drivers settings.

    I do have AF turned on. Here are my NV Control Panel settings:

    Should I set it so PA's profile is all-default settings?

    To be fair I would recommend you to keep global settings on default and enable features you sure about per-app if you don't want to run into trouble with some other apps you using.

    And yea, make sure you set default settings for PA.exe executable from bin_x64 directory.
    It's possible would be useful to set default settings for CoherentUI_Host.exe in bin_x64/host/.

    So, that was the only problem? It won't happen again now?

    I can only give you workaround and you have to test it on your own. :)

    I pretty sure that issues with black lines between textures always caused by forced AF. I have no idea about all other problems, but fact that nobody else having same issues made me think that all your problems related to non-standard settings.

    Can you please say if switching settings to default fixed issues you have?
    I just see other players with totally same issue so it's would be useful to know.

    It's only happened once so far (out of maybe 30 battles). But I'll test it and report if it happens again.
