Texture issues

#1 Post by straycatstrat » 28 Mar 2021 18:21

So, I'm having an interesting issue. I've found other posts with similar issues, but they don't apply to me. You'll find out why I say that in a moment.

Textures don't seem to be loading correctly for me.

This image was before the 1.40 update went live. I do not participate in beta.

After playing around for about 30 minutes with the game like this (it was a short lived entertainment), I went down to looking into the issue. I first removed my mods (other issues were resolved by removing mods, but I also only play with UI mods). That didn't seem to fix it. I restarted the PC (it hadn't been shut down or restarted for about a month). That didn't fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. That didn't fix it, however more issues arose. I had screenshots of all these, but after my next attempt, I removed the images. I looked a little deeper and saw my graphics drivers weren't up to date. I didn't think that would do anything, but that seemed to have fixed the problem. I played for a few more hours, problem free, then quit the game.

Some time went by before I had a chance to play the game again, and the 1.40 update had gone live, and had been for a few days at this point.

Again, similar issues. I had received a notification that there was another update for graphics drivers. Obviously, that was my first stop since it worked last time. That didn't fix it (thus, this screenshot became a thing). I've uninstalled the game, restarted the PC, did a clean reinstall of graphics drivers, even went as far as reseating the GPU (kids won't leave my computer alone, so it gets jostled around at times). Nothing is working.

PC:
AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz
16 GB RAM
AMD Radeon RX 580 with 6 GB vRAM (MSI variant)
Windows 10 20H2 update

This is the only problematic game.

Graphics settings are set on Ultra, and here is 1 more shot

Have you started a new profile, without any mods enabled? Does it still remain problematic? I've never seen it that severe.

I had not tried to start a new profile, but after reading your comment, I quickly jumped on and tried. Doing so also generated it being daytime, so here is the screenshot.

Pink textures I understand. The game is searching for them, but cannot find them. Happens in Blender a lot with me. Never seen the red or aqua colour textures though. Someone else will have to shed some light here.

Even look at the parking lot that the truck is on - it's not detailed. In the last image, you can tell where lines are supposed to be.

The only thing I can think of doing, is downloading Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) doing a "clean and restart" option I believe it's called and downloaded the latest drivers/software of whatever AMD uses.

Okay, just a quick update. I decided to try to launch the game in the other modes provided. I started with OpenGL. See attatched file.

After that I selected the DirectX 11, and all the texture problems went away. Just to make sure I wasn't going bonkers, I selected the default selection. Texture problems went away. However, I'm sure it'll arise again. Perhaps this is still showing an issue.

When I update the drivers, I select a clean install, where it'll remove old drivers and any programs associated, and reinstall everything fresh. But, I'll put this in the back pocket for an option if it is suggested again.

I'd recommend always selecting Direct X, over OpenGL.

That's one thing that skipped my mind was how you were launching the game. Select the Direct X 11 option in the future.

I've always selected the default option, which I assume is using DirectX 12 by default. Only time I've ever ran in OpenGL mode was when I was playing on my laptop that is running Debian Linux.

I'm still venturing to say there is still a problem...it just showed its face again. It seems to be intermittent-ly fixed lol I've done nothing except watch a couple of videos.
