Flickering and glitched shadows are caused by a number of different issues, so make sure to try out everything listed below as it could be one of many factors in the game:
- Set ‘Shadow Quality’ to ‘Disabled’
- Set ‘Depth of Field’ to ‘Disabled’
- Set ‘Dynamic Resolution Scale Quality’ to ‘Disabled’
- Set ‘Anti-aliasing Quality’ to ‘Low SMAA’ or ‘High SMAA’
- Set ‘Global Illumination Quality’ to ‘Disabled’
- Set ‘Texture Quality’ to ‘Low’
- Disable the Day Night cycle
It’s likely that only one of these settings will work for you, but it’s still worth trying them all out to see if it makes any difference when playing. Flickering or visual glitches are typically caused by lighting and shadows in-game, so reducing them – or turning them off completely – should hopefully remove any problems.
This will unfortunately reduce the visual quality of your game, but I would personally rather have my game look a little bit worse than deal with any flickering or visual bugs when playing.
I also prefer playing with the Day Night cycle off anyway, as the game can get far too dark for long periods with the setting on. Despite how nice it can look when the bright lights of your city illuminate the skyline, it makes building and planning quite difficult – so I’d recommend keeping that off in general.
So, that will help fix any visual glitches you’ve been encountering while playing Cities Skylines 2, letting you say goodbye to flickering and glitched shadows in your city like demolishing an abandoned building.
