Visual bug concerning Lockbox Flares and Lockdown Zone on AMD Radeon 9000 Series graphics cards
- Bungie Account Name - SorryMrSalesman#2586

- Description of Issue - Since the launch of Marathon on March 5th, I have been experiencing a bug where certain VFX are visible through walls. I thus far have noticed that the Lockdown Zone on Dire Marsh, and the Lockbox Flares on every map are visible through walls.
- Rough Date and Time of issue - The issue began presenting for me on March 5th, 2026.

Repro steps - As long as the user has an AMD Radeon 9000 series GPU it appears as if the VFX bug can be reproduced 100% of the time

Hi there,
Thank you for your detailed report and the screenshots.
We have received reports of these visual issues in the past. At this time, we're looking into their underlying cause. Your patience and understanding during this time is appreciated.
I would like to add in my experience as well, I have an 7800XT so it may be an issue with the current AMD driver, not just a Radeon RX 9000 series issue. It looks like the last driver update was on May 4th https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/rn-rad-win-26-5-1.html

Description of Issue - I can see the smoke from lockbox flares, the distortion from the lockdown effect in the sky, explosion distortion, and stealth shimmer of robots through walls - maybe player i didnt notice
Rough Date and Time of issue - This issue started for me today 5/10/2026 about 1:55pm after I updated to AMD drivers Adrenalin Edition 26.5.1
Repro steps - I played about all most 2 hours today and saw effect issues in every match i played. Seems to be a driver related issue.
From my gameplay examples today , please excuse the bad shoot'n at times

Bungie Support, are there any new developments regarding this issue? It's almost June and these particle effects visually clipping through geometry still hasn't been fixed. I can see invisible USEC bots through the other side of walls and doors.
Also, some portions of the first-person weapon view models, like scope and iron sights clip still clip through walls when standing right in front of the wall. That issue has also been in the game since launch.
