Hello,

I am facing a very specific graphical error.

I've noticed this happening when water starts appearing on the screen, and I am in specific zoom levels (for example when zoomed out, it doesn't happen). I'm quite sure that, if I never see water on screen, the issue doesn't appear.

The issue is some rapidly changing black zones on the floor when moving. If I don't move, the black tile stays still, until I move again.

This happens every time I play. I face this issue also on new game, without mods.

Zipped mods folder here.
Thanks.

Hello, does it happen if you set Texture Compression to Low Quality in graphics options (and restart the game)?
Also did you turn on water animation? I have not put that option to the log :/

Hi, by changing this setting, the black zones disappear quicker than before and it's "less awful" in general. But I still can trigger it.

You can see the behaviour in this video.

In the video I can see water animation is enabled.

Does that mean that setting Texture Compression to Low Quality made this "less awful"? What if you disable water animation?

I also can see the game is running on OpenGL, does that mean you were having DirectX crashes and the game offered you to switch to OpenGL?

Yes, the game crashed some days ago and it offered me to change. I don't know how to rollback to DirectX.

Yes, changing to Low Quality the issue is less noticeable.

Disabling water animation has changed the behaviour of the issue, you can see in this new video.

Is it advisable to change back to DirectX? How can I do so?

Thanks

Hello,

I have commented the "force-opengl" line in config.ini and looks like the issue is gone If you need me to test anything further I can do it.

Thanks
