I've encountered this water glitch in Far Cry 5 recently, driver update did not help. Changing settings did nothing either, even going from maximum to minimum.

It basically seems to be 'transplanting' other areas of the screen or something, or 'seeing through' the water, but it's always either tiny dots or these trapezoid shapes, and what I can see through the trapezoids doesn't match what's under the water but it definitely seems to reflect SOMETHING. it also seems to copy parts of the hip-fire crosshair which hangs around behind these trapezoid shapes. Again, it is exclusively in the water in Far Cry 5, it doesn't show up in any other game or intensive benchmark, and I just want to know what I could do to fix it as I am enjoying the game so far.

Imgur link to an example on low graphics. Notice it only does it at one end of the pond. It does it in other bodies of water as well. Effect happens near the player's aim point in this example, but it can happen off to the sides too. Always seems to follow a certain 'line' or distance from the player.
