Texture Appears on Mask and Grows Until it Blinds You

[opal granite]

had this happen to me and a friend twice on R1A1 and R1B1, a square of some kind of texture appears on screen and grows until it fills the entire view and stays that way for about 2 minutes before shrinking back down to nothing.

Void bug moment

[opal granite]

has this been reported before? i tried searching for keywords and couldnt find anything

[karmic dagger]

so my group encountered this twice today on 2 different people,

[stoic bobcat]

Yea it’s a well known bug

Similar to the water drop bug but you can’t see shit in this one

Typical first time reporters/people don’t know the name of it so you probably won’t find it searching “void bug” or “water drop bug”

But this isn’t the first encounter

We also don’t know the exact cause either

[opal granite]

yeah both me and my friend couldnt find anything in common with what we were doing at the time when it occurs

[karmic dagger]

do we have an existing thread for this one?

[stoic bobcat]

There’s multiple “threads”

Just know that the GTFO community already knows this

It’s very well known

[karmic dagger]

any among these with actual effort to at least prevent?

given its pretty well known

[stoic bobcat]

Again, only speculation of what’s causing the issue

No one knows the exact cause

So not easy to fix/prevent

[karmic dagger]

at least one with the speculations?

I don't want to hold you for hours or something if someone already tried it even speculations

just not fun to lose a hours long run because someone became blind

[stoic bobcat]

No, I meant speculations on what causes the issue

There is currently no preventative measures or a possible fix

[karmic dagger]

so I guess thats a "nobody yet to try anything regarding this issue so let's all just pray it wont happen" stuff?

[stoic bobcat]

If someone gets it it’s just unfortunate

[karmic dagger]

aite I see, thanks I guess

yeah, very unfortunate

[stoic bobcat]

People “tried” but not knowing the root cause makes it difficult to proceed

Best theory currently is something to do with the blood spatter from enemies

[karmic dagger]

ah,
I guess its "nobody found an actual working solution yet so sorry in advanced for the poor souls"

[stoic bobcat]

No idea what else from there

More like square one “nobody knows the cause of this issue so we can’t determine a fix”

Sorry poor souls yes

[karmic dagger]

I see, hope community and/or devs find a solution to this any time soon

because we never encountered it for a year++ and then suddenly today 2 diff players encountered it in 2 separate runs ( in consecutive )

other player managed to recover since he relogged, but 2nd instance is the host got attacked, so theres no saving that

anyway thanks for the responses again

Very probably the "liquid on mask drip" effect glitching
