Sprites missing or corrupted

[FlowwolF]

I'm getting these texture issues on 0.12.8

I have an i7 3770, r9 270x with 4gb, and 16gb memory running on windows 10.

Is there any reason why i seem to be the only person getting these sort of texture problems? I've downloaded and reinstalled the game a few times now. Tried all sorts of graphic settings. It exists across all qualities and memory usage settings.

I was looking in the config file and saw "force-opengl=false" so i went ahead and forced that *explicitive* to use opengl. Things are working now.

It seems to plague AMD gpu's recently - also latest AMD beta drivers seem a bit sketchy - I lost picture on DirectX completely with those.

I dont know if this will fix it, but try running the .exe as an administrator, and in compatibility mode for older version of windows. (right click the exe and go to "properties", then "compatibility mode")

Today I updated my GPU drivers and now I have the same problem. Feck, should have gone with Nvidia.

I do reinstall the last version of my video driver and it's OK.

Got an AMD HD7770 graphics card on windows 10 system.

Think it's probably coming from the OS more than from the graphic card or the game.

I had the same problem after a crash, forcing OpenGL fixed it for me. Thanks

Same for me. The issue appeared just like that.
I was playing yesterday and everything is fine. Playing today and I have missing or corrupted sprites. I did not even restart the game inbetween.

Forcing opengl helps. Restarting and/or cleanly re-installing the game does not help.

Maybe this should be copied to the bug reports?

Done. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =7&t=16911

The fix screws up NV goggles in an interesting way:



Seems to invert lighting, rather than use a green filter? Bug in any case
