Collection of GPT-image-generator 2.0 issues, bugs, and work-around tips (check first post)

Hello everyone. I’ve been following this issue here in the forum for a few days now, because I’m affected by it as well. I don’t know how it is for everyone else at this point, but for me the problem still persists: From a distance, the image looks atmospheric and well composed. But when zooming in, many areas break down into grainy, ornament-like micro-details. Stone surfaces look crumbly and artificial, edges are unclear, and vegetation, mud, and rocks merge into a noisy mass of texture. This has been happening for several days, especially with fantasy, gothic, and landscape images. It does not just look like “a lot of detail”; it looks more like unwanted texture noise or overprocessing. As a thumbnail, the image can look good, but for larger display, printing, or projector use, it is completely unusable. I create fantasy images that rely heavily on mood and atmosphere, often with a lot of fine-tuning. But when results like this appear even from a simple first prompt, it becomes a real problem. How are you dealing with this?
