Graphics Glitching when scrolling out to view area

Post by Raven_North »

Version: 0.17.54(Build 46015, win64, steam)

What did you do? In an attempt to find a source to the graphic glitch, I disabled all mods.
What happened? Nothing changed, it still happens as before.
What did you expect to happen instead? I had hoped that perhaps something as simple as a mod install was causing the glitch and by removing it, the glitch would stop.

Write down the steps to reproduce the issue if you know them. Not sure, I simply scroll to get a wider view of the map and it glitches.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes? Seems to happen every time I scroll to see a wider view of what I am doing when I play.

Thanks for taking a moment to look this over.

Hello, this is problem with old Intel graphics drivers. If possible, try to update your graphics driver. If it's not possible, open config.ini (press Win + R, type in %APPDATA%\Factorio\config\config.ini and click OK; that should open config Notepad) and add following line at the bottom of the file

Code: Select all

buffer-rename-workaround=true

I ended up needing to add the line to the .ini, but it worked well thanks very much.
