[raiguard] [2.0.43][linux] Red and green graphic artifacts

[pondohou]

When I zoom in and out sometimes green or red spots appear on the ground. do not seem to have a pattern. Here are screenshots:






I don't know if its uniqe to linux but this is the first time its happened and its the first time im playing on a linux computer. Linux Mint if it matters.
I don't have any mods except all factorio spage age ones. i installed the game like a day ago from the tar.

The glitch seems to happen at a certain level of zoom out but i'm not sure. the spots appear any time i'm zoomed out and zoom in just a little bit.

thanks i did the things!

[pioruns]

Thanks for adding details, that may help developers a lot with identifying the causes.
Do you experience artifacts in any other game?
Try stressing GPU in a benchmark, for example Furmark or Unigine Superposition. Leave it running for some time, see how it goes, also watch temperatures.

[pondohou]

Why would benchmarking have anything to do with factorio? my computer is brand new, I don't think its likely to be any of my parts failing. I'm a bit wary to try benchmarking as its not something ive done before or am familliar with whatsoever, i'm worried i'll screw up my brand new machine.

I have not experienced any other glitches in other much more demanding games thus far, but i have not had this machine for long at all, less than a month. I've tried the finals and astroneer and both ran just fine without any artifacts i could notice.

Also the nature of these little thingies that appear are fixed in place inside the game, as in if i move towards it they stay there until i reach them, if it was somethign with my graphics card creating the glitch, wouldnt the pixel move "with me" so to speak? if they appear and i move to where they are not visible, and then up again where they were, they dissappear, which seems like the game is fixing something when i'm not looking.

I don't know if my reasoning is correct but i thought it might help to say.

[pioruns]

Computers are designed to sustain work 24/7 at 100% load, unless they are laptops, or other thermally challenged form factors. Let me assure you, a correctly working computer will sustain any benchmark and stress test you throw at it. If it doesn't, then its broken and need to be replaced.
If you have not done stress tests and benchmarking to a brand-new machine you purchased, you don't know if it is working correctly. It's like building a car but not testing it before shipping it to a customer. Until you have tested it, you don't know if these artifacts are hardware (for example failing GPU memory) or software (AMD driver problem, or Mesa packages, Linux kernel, etc). Therefore, there isn't much else I can say to help. The last suggestion from me could be trying it again on a newer kernel - you can select a different, newer kernel tree in your Linux Mint update tool, see how things are there, then revert to 6.8 line once you are done.

Developers may find something in your log and save files though, please wait maybe one of them will notice this topic.

Did some more playing and noticed that the things appear when i was placing ghosts as well, i held shift to place several ghosts, one appeared, after pressing shift again, it disappeared.
I tried spamming shift while holding something placeable and very very infrequently some artifact would appear and disappear as soon as i'd press shift again.

I've updated and am on 2.0.47, on a different save. so it doesn't have to do with the old save. I also tried placing objects on top of the artifacts and doing so covers them up with the object, removing the object shows the artifact again, they don't go away from placing objects. I think it is something with the terrain graphically because it only updates itself when i zoom in and out or when i run offscreen and back so to speak.

I'll provide my new save and log here just in case it can be helpful. otherwise ignore me.
