Gamescreen gone GRAY. HUD still visible.

Post by K9SPY »

Been playing DE for months. No change to my machine. Just suddenly, all GRAY.

Tried dropping some features in Graphics and managed to get a pink-out screen in screen3.

Close down the game and verify file integrity through Steam. That should fix it.

I used to get this issue on RE, thou instead of gray it used to turn black. Probably a corrupt file issue.
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

That kind of stuff happens from messed up shaders.
Could be either the shader scripts that were corrupted or maybe a GPU issue (drivers or some GPU setting).

Is your game modded? I noticed some special coat of arms on the minimap.
If it's modded, might be from that too.

That's part of the bug, not a mod.

Well, if you mod your UI and make mistakes, you could place an oversized icon on the whole minimap.

Of course you were. You were also crying and pooping in diaper when universe was being created. You literally watched universe being created in front of your eyes. From a single point to billions of light years in expanse. The asteroids that hit earth millions of years ago were actually parts of lego set that you destroyed when throwing a tantrum. :lol: :lol: :lol:

What can I say... Running this universe is a big task.

Well this bug has been happening ever since beta, idk what causes it but yeah I'm sure that thing is part of the bug, many players have had the same thing happen with minimap.

Yes also happened to me. Interestingly tp's look like forts on the map. Attack flashes are crazy. All of the minimaps is yellow. Some stuff is more visible than before XD. Just shows how terrible the visibility currently is. Half of the minimap is gone though.
