Blank icon bug (with video)

Postby Lusewing » Fri Oct 17, 2014 10:28 am

Video link

As you can see in the video my icons at the bottom and at the side are blank when I am in my town claim, which seems to extend passed where it should according to the claim highlighter.
This has only started happening since yesterday and only seems to happen when I am on my village claim. Entering or existing a building causes the icons to pop up for a short time while the area loads and then they are gone again - they are also missing while I am inside a structure on my claim.

Restarting Salem more often not solves this issue 2/3 times.

Very strange bug that I though would be best to record to fully explain.

That's so odd. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Very much so Thais, especally as I am the town cook and, while I can remember a few food locations, I cant remember them all. So I end up digging around in the 'dark' trying to find the right button since relogging takes a few min to sort out.

Is it just a bell, or do you have boundary stones? Are any of them legacy? This looks like Latikai's, does it happen on the default client too? If it doesn't, this is something you should be posting in Artifacts and Arcana and I can move it if so.

I only use the default client. I do have two legacy flags but they are located below where I am and their reach is alined with the townbell so there is no overlap (not actually tried if the effect any diffrently, I will do so next time it happens).

This is actually an issue with that fire I hear in the background I believe. If you try putting that fire out I think it will resolve the issue. It has to do with some gfx thing when light is bouncing off.

Try

:gl progmode a


Not in the chat but just with all your chat interfaces closed. Let me know how that works for you.

That's my meatsmoker, the only fire I had lit in my homestead at the time was in my house. However the game may be trying to render lighting for the meatsmoker?

I have found that turning off shadows solves the issue.

The cropping on the video tricked me. :lol: Sounds like John knows what's going on there, but I just wanted to say that if you do have legacy flags up, you should replace them with the new border stones as soon as you can because those will be much cheaper for you.
