1.10 [BUG] Text all scrambled

Post by Zupje »

The following happened at least 5 to 10 times to me now.

Issue: Suddenly the text get scrambled, it's almost like chinese, but I'm fairly sure it's just scrambled, not some language. It goes together with some graphical issues, one very noticable is the sort of 'smokescreen' you fly through to dock or undock some staitons. That changes into some extremely simplistic sprites.

When I restart the game its fine again, but now my savegame is corrupted by the bug, it already shows in loadings screen, the tips are unreadable, but only when I load the game, not before. This corrupt savegame happened after i restarted the game cause of the bug that makes text disappear on the map, about trade info and stuff.

Thought it was caused by anti aliasing at first, but I turned that off, it ran bug ree quiete a while, but came back in the end.

Specs:
Gefore GTX 760 (latest driver, 417.01)
Intel I5-4570 3.2GHz
DirectX 11
Windows 7 64b

If you need something from me, I'll help where I can

Does your GPU only have 2GB of memory by any chance? It looks like it from the specifications. That would at least partly explain what you're seeing; the game needs 3GB of video memory and will struggle if it has less. You might be able to mitigate the problem a little by lowering the settings, but no guarantees.

I started lowering them, and it did look a bit more stable, had various other bugs as well, like invisbile stations walls, or liquid ground when trying to dock.
Can crawl to the lowest settings and see if it helps,

3 GB is pretty harsh!

Tnx for the fast reply.
