I did provide a logfile here: https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1333823110784356444

[spare wave]

Thank you. that's also good information to have in here.

[red flint]

I will provide logfiles when I run into issues that I can pair with screenshots.

[spare wave]

Sounds good. 😄

Excessive bloom(?) on the fog. It was not immediately the case when entering the well so I assume it got something to do with either dawn or once I cleared the shroud root. Initially it was even brighter but stepping a bit close seems to have caused some recalculations with the fog.

[frigid badger]

Temporary fix was setting Texture Resolution to balanced.

[red flint]

Blocky fuzzy but still brown textures for the mud effect. Texture resolution is set to balanced and as whole I am currently using the Performance setting for the quality preset.

[red flint]

The reduced textures for some distant trees seem to act out. Getting closer removes the black box variatons. Log is a continuation from the above.

[red flint]

I will keep posting those until someone tells me to stop.

[red flint]

Same session as above. Also shows just black instead of the actual texture. Not just the confetti effect.

I bought this game this morning looking for a new crafting survival fix - great Steam reviews, thought 'woohoo' that'll do!

Installed. First launch, had to wait 30 minutes for 'compiling shaders' to complete. Then get in the game to find this ridiculous graphics problem....

I have the problem shown in the above post but much worse - the whole world is horrendously purple and the game is basically unplayable. Physical movement is smooth, but the game flashes so dramatically it's unpleasant to play.

Followed your suggestion to change to 'balanced' Texture Resolution and the purple went away, but now the game is literally unplayable. Frame rate has dropped to 1-2 Frames every 10 seconds or so.

Seriously, how is this game so widely praised, yet such a ridiculous car crash of graphical instability?

[spare wave]

This is an issue that just popped up after the last update that the devs are looking in to.

Unfortunately just an image and description of the issue aren't going to help them too much. If you could please drag and drop your Logs, DxDiag and save files in here, as requested above, so that the devs have easy access to the information they need to find and fix this issue, it will go a long way to helping them repair the issue.

I can't change the "Texture" setting in display. It stays on performance, wanted to have better textures even if it's laggy
How can I fix it?

[plain herald]

Having the same issue of texture loss after the recent update. Attacthed requested files below. Sorry if this is the wrong thread or not, I'm new.

[red flint]

The obvious texture issues on the Farm Soil aside. There is confetti texture on the fog. I added the recording because I think it shows it a bit better.

[humble mica]

Texture issues for me too!

[grand dust]

is this going to get fixed anytime soon?

[red flint]

The fact that it looks like well block or vukah temple textures snuck in there suggest to me that something is shifting the texture atlas. The hard part is probably figuring out why and where as it does not look like its uniform. 😄

[mossy lion]

hopefully this helps you guys find this issue! This is the first major issue with the game i have had. Im having a blast playing and cant wait for more content!

hopefully patch to fix this soon! its hard to find ores when you cant tell what is what 😂

[pale wing]

I am having the "Evertything gets colored in red or purple issue, here is my dxdiag

[tough comet]

I have it better than most here, but yeah, the game got uglier for some reason. Atleast there's no purple soup, like it's the sims 2

[austere apex]

Game opened like this. I was at Quality settings, went to Balanced to see if that would fix it but it did not. I then went to Max performance and it resolved the issue. I was able to return to Quality after adjusting to the lowest quality setting, with no issue. (please ignore my embarrassing username)

[trim bolt]

Was having the same problem, I changed the TEXTURE RESOLUTION to PERFORMANCE and it now works. For anyone still having issues.

[spare wave]

Yeag - the solution and what works seems to depends on something. Some people have said just changing it to max performance and back worked, some say balanced works. I haven't really looked too deeply into it since the devs already are. 😄

[austere apex]

When I switch between servers sometimes I wont be wearing items, sometimes certain body parts will be completely removed. This only happens between server hopping and not when I load the game.

[spare wave]

This is not the same issue.

[austere apex]

Is it not texture resolution related?

[spare wave]

It's not the same issue people are having above, no.

[austere apex]

Can you point me in the right direction of where I should be posting this then?

[spare wave]

#troubleshooting

[mellow knot]

Thanks
Will try

[sweet crag]

I'm still having issues with can't change texture from performance. It's stuck there and I sent a form but got no response. Anyone can help with that?

[spare wave]

It will only allow it to change if your GPU is capable of handing the VRAM associated with that setting. If your card only has 6gb of vram, it's not going to let you increase it.

[sweet crag]

How do I check that? is it this?
I have 24gb ram so idk

ik it's in portuguese but you can kinda understand i think

[spare wave]

You have 4gb of vram (the ram on your GPU) this means it's underspec to play the game.

This:

[sweet crag]

I see, never knew about that. Anyway I can increase that?

[spare wave]

VRAM on GPU's are not upgradable. You would have to get a new GPU, potentially a new computer depending on how old your system is.

[sweet crag]

supposedly I have 12319mb of available and only 128mb being dedicated. Can't I increase the dedicated?

[spare wave]

RAM and VRAM are two different things.

[fickle ocean]

@spare wave I finally had some progress on this Texture resolution thing, which for me also made the entire world pink and pixelated. I had already run the 3 first steps from the minidump instructions with no change but complete GPU driver removal (Step 4: Clean reinstall GPU driver (with DDU)
Clean install with DDU) in safe mode and reinstalling latest nvidia drivers seems to have solved. During install I accepted nvidia app, which recommended even lower settings for my GTX 1060 6GB. With this the game looks normal, does not crash etc. I have started the game 3 times, played for some hours all without any hiccups.

[spare wave]

Checking in with everyone @here to see if you guys are still having this issue after the patch.

[fair stump]

I can report that I still have texture issues on the map. Map is black at first, then texture will load in blocks, slowly. If I scroll to a new area of the map, same -- black, and then textures load. If I move back to where I was before, the previously loaded textures are gone -- black again, and then textures load slowly.

For World and UI textures, it's the same as it was before. No textures or low res textures at first, but then they eventually load in, and it's fine after that. Except for a few tings, like Glider texture will frequently not appear for a few seconds, and this is after being in the game for a good amount of time.

[tough comet]

I still have the same issue with the lighting, aerial perspective and trees. Everything is flat, foliage is weirdly lit from below and the game overall looks quite ugly.

[tough comet]

Adding to my comment above, I managed to find some screenshots before and after Pact of the Flame update. Same place, same time of day. I hoped this glitch would be fixed with the recent patch....

[tough comet]

I guess there's no information about this graphics issues?

[spare wave]

The developers are looking into it. If you could please drag and drop your Logs, DxDiag and save files in here, as requested above, so that the devs have easy access to the information they need to find and fix this issue, it will go a long way to helping them repair the issue.

[tough comet]

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I found all the correct save files, but everything else is in order.

[sturdy merlin]

You are talking about something like this, right?

I honestly didn't think it's a bug, but their overhaul of the foliage/lighting. But I agree that it looks really ugly.
Been wandering around the Revelwood in the past days a lot and I memorised it very differently and more beautiful before 🥲
Really hope they'll revert it to before or work further on it...

Also, hazelnuts and berries look like made of plastic now. While I don't have a highend rig, I can still run texture settings in quality and also saw these plastic berries in a stream of someone, so I suppose it's not only my PC showing them like that.

[tough comet]

wow, yours is even weirder. Also, the lighting and atmosphere is... a choice...

[sturdy merlin]

Yep haha, I took the most extreme example I could find 😂
Generally it looks nicer when there's some sunlight coming through, but without sunlight it just doesn't look good imo
I remember liking sunrises and sunsets after the winter biome update, but now at least twilight isn't as nice

This is a screenshot I took last year in april and the trees in Revelwood looked so much nicer imo 😢

[spare wave]

This thread is for the texture resolution issue that causes rainbow threads to appear in textures, like the ones posted above.

If you are not having that issue, please take the conversation to #enshrouded-chat

We need to keep this clear so the devs can find the information they need to fix the bug.

[sturdy merlin]

I answered to neboveria, as they posted about the weird lighting on trees

[spare wave]

yeah I am seeing that. @tough comet what you are seeing is not the texture resolution issue. I believe it is just the lighting pre-dawn and dusk, since it's mostly indirect lighting at that point during the day cycles.

Sorry, I didn't look closely at the images you sent before.
