Occasional graphical glitch - 1.12.a and earlier

Post by JonasWalker »

Hello Vic, just wanted to let you know of a graphical glitch on the main map that I've seen on occasion for some time now over a few past versions including the current beta. While I don't have any screenshots nor how to 100% reliably replicate it, what happens is at times when exiting an in-game window back to the main map the area of the map that was being viewed will glitch and display hexes in the completely wrong spot. Usually shifted a few tiles left and up.

This issue only seems graphical in nature as clicking on where a hex should be still pulls it up as normal even if the wrong one is being displayed in a given spot. This lasts until another in-game window is opened or you scroll away on the main map as in both cases once the bugged section of the main map is unloaded upon viewing the spot again everything is rendered correctly. Others on the unofficial discord have mentioned they have also had similar issues when using Strategic Move or using the number keys to cycle between units. I will try to get a screenshot the next time it happens and I do apologize for not already having one.

OS: Win 10 Pro 64bit, latest build
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
Ram: 32gb DDR4
GPU: nVidia GTX 1080 TI, Driver version 512.15
Monitor: 2560x1440 resolution.

Please let me know if you need any further information or have additional questions.

I have seen these reports coming in occasionally since release.. Never been able to repeat it.
If anybody can get me a fixed sequence of actions from say a savegame or game start that always produces this glitch i'll be very grateful!

best wishes,
Vic

I made a 1 minute video on how to reproduce the glitch

How to reproduce the glitch?
Select a hex adjacent to the SHQ.
Open a window hiding the selected hexagon.
Click on the flag to select the SHQ.
Close the window.
Reselect the previous hexagon.
Glitch.

Woow! Super big thanks! Never thought about trying to do that. Found issue and fixed it for next patch.
