Viewport draw errors with Sky+Fog+AA on UE 4.9 on iMac

Hey, here are few images displaying in the graphics error on viewport with UE 4.9 and 4.9.1.
The error patterns flickers wildly.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that UE 4.8.3 is without these errors on the same system. So I’m assuming it’s happening only because some changes in 4.9.

System is iMac late 2011, with Intel Core i7 / AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB

Hey ,

Another user is reporting this issue as well, on a very similar system. We are currently attempting to gather the correct components to create a machine to test this issue and others against. I tested on the Mac we have here and did not receive the visual errors you and the other user are experiencing.

The machine I tested on however, is using and Nvidia 750M card, and not an AMD GPU which is what is needed when testing to get an accurate repro. If you discover any new information please let me know.

As a temporary workaround you can try to switch to FXAA instead of Temporal AA to see if that resolves the issue.

Thank you,

I have the same issue, contact me if you need to do some testing

@Artymandis Would you provide me with your systems specifications so I can compare it to other users experiencing the issue?
