UI Graphical artifacts / weird letters

Hi there, I just got the game today and had the following problem upon starting it, which can be best shown with screenshots.

    Hey guys, just got this game on steam after watching some videos. It looks really neat, but I am also getting strange graphical bugs. The title menu is black, and the text/ font appears as giant blocky shapes instead of letters.

    I clicked around and was able to start a new game, and the opening cutscene (with the escape pod) appeared to be running fine. The font was still wacky, though.

    I am running OSX 10.9. If I missed something I needed to do related to the font, please let me know.

    I'm getting the same thing, Geforce GTX 980ti, Windows 8.1 Pro.

    Having the same exact issue. It's really jarring and I can't figure out how to fix it. Might just refund the game.

    I have exactly the same problem. It started just yesterday (16th March of 2016).

    My Graphic Card is a GeForce GTX 670 with nVIDIA driver version 364.51.

    Already tried:

    1- Uninstall and install (starting over, of course I backed up my saves first)
    2- Redo Graphic Drivers
    3- Open the game with all Texture profiles and then changing them to min and max while ingame through F3
    4- Alt+Tab to outside of the game, then back in
    5- Alt+Enter to get my game in a window, then back to fullscreen

    Nothing seemed to worked so far.

    Any heads up would be appreciated.

    Exact same issue here.
    I also posted it and someone ( j0ndav ) came up with a workaround. Start/load a game and just change the texture quality. If you've got the same problem as I had and "esc,F3" or "tab,F3" doesn't work anymore press: ESC,F3,F8 (yep, all three in this order...) and then change the texture quality (I only tested 4), wait until the game runs again and you should be good to go until it is fixed.

    I hope it helps

    AliB, I already worked around like that, but some things are still buggy. For instance, when I press Tab, the PDA is all flashy with rainbowish colours, if I had fotoelepsy, that would be a huge issue.

    Besides that, some items keep changing it's icon, they are kinda going through all in-game icons in a very fast paced rythm, like 10 icons per second or so, and between those icons, there's also a white icon, which we see most of the time, or maybe it's due to the fact of being a white square icon that captivates the most attention, dunno.

    And when I did that, the ocean grass turned 8-bit'ish, kinda like Lego Grass, which was really weird. Didn't manage to explore because the whole ocean seemed like a LCD trip :persevere:

    Let's see what they have to say about this.

    By they way, AliB, what's your graphic card? That might help determining if it's a graphic collection problem :wink:

    That's actually Skynet's doing... :tongue:

    I've also seen that, but by changing the graphic settings (Esc then F3 then F8 then choose quality 4) it fixed that issue, but there's so many other issues :disappointed:

    Same thing is happening to me too! Just bought the game today and I thought something was wrong with my laptop. Hopefully they'll fix it soon! I've tried some of the suggestions on changing the screen's resolution but that isn't working for me.

    There is a workround for this - not perfect but it works,

    Load up your save game, when in game press ESC, then F3 to bring up the graphics menu. where it says 'texture settings' click on no 2 3 or 4

    I had the problem where i couldn't select 2,3 or 4, so i pressed ESC,F3,F8 - i was then able to select it. My system then seemed to hang, but i waited and the game sprang into life with a lot of the bugs gone.

    The screenshots I took, was by using that method. Dunno if your game looks like that after that "quick fix", along with item icon skin changing all the time.

    What's your graphic cards guys?

    mine wasnt perfect, but i used setting 3 and it was MUCH better. Only thing i noticed was the seamoth had a cyclops marker. All other flashing icons etc that i got on other settings were gone. I have a GTX660 so not exactly hi spec :)

    I've seen plenty of other threads and comments around the web on this issue, so it seems to be a pretty widespread bug and present across different graphics cards and OSs. Anyone seen any word from a dev anywhere to confirm that they're aware of it and potentially an ETA of when to see it fix?
  • j0ndavj0ndav Bristol Join Date: 2016-03-17 Member: 214373Members
    yes, they are aware of it - apparantly it's to do with the unity engine needing an update.
  • Leg4cyLeg4cy Join Date: 2016-03-17 Member: 214378Members
    I just wanted to say that this bug is fixed with the current stable build.

    Since no one stated it so far. At least in my end it's fixed.
  • Dex_LutherDex_Luther Montreal, Qc Join Date: 2016-03-26 Member: 214839Members
    When you guys start the game, are you selecting recommended or experimental from the quality menu?

    Also, what resolution are you playing at? Windowed?
  • MatrillexMatrillex Join Date: 2018-11-12 Member: 244673Members
    I'm also having a graphical error, one of which it seems no one else is really having and I have no clue how to fix and I can't post about it until I make a post.

    (See thread creation date, as well as screenshots from build 29912.)

    However, since you can't make a thread until you post, I suppose we'll forgive you. ;)
