[BUG] Assessor graphics bug

[der_werte_Herr]

I keep encountering a bug every time I play as Assessor: When I use the spheres and the gravity skill the graphics are flashing and eventually only the bare bone background is visible. I find it hard to describe. The result is that I can only see the outline of my tunnels but nothing else (rock density, resources etc.). So I can still traverse my mine but can't fight the monsters as they become invisible as well.
I do not play as Assessor too often but I think the bug didn't occur before the v4.1 update.
I hope for a resolution since Assessor in this state is simply unplayable :(
Happy to provide more information if necessary.

Hi,

could you try updating your graphics drivers to see if this improves the situation? Also, please try to switch your rendering settings, take a look at this thread .

Additionally, if possible, could you record a video of the bug and send it to us? This would help us understand the issue more clearly and diagnose it faster. Any further info, like your system specs and in-game graphics settings, would also be helpful.

You can send your files to [e-mail] or send them to our official discord server [discord.com].

Hi Ron, thank you very much for taking the time to respond in the comprehensive way you did. Immediately after reading your answer I updated my graphics driver and checked if the bug still occurred. Unfortunately, it did.
Today I finally found the time to tackle the issue again and follow your other recommendations. I wanted to record video footage first - but the bug was nowhere to be found. I played a few sessions today and couldn't reproduce the issue. So, it seems like the problem is resolved!
If I should come across it once more, I'll let you know via the mentioned email address. I love Dome Keeper and how professionally it is crafted in so many aspects!
Once again, thank you for your support with this issue and all the best for your current and upcoming projects!

I’m really glad to hear the issue seems to have resolved itself—sometimes, updates or other system changes can work their magic unexpectedly.
If the bug reappears, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any details or recordings. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and I’ll be happy to assist further if needed.

I encountered what I believe is this issue as well today. It only happened during battle but when I would click to fire (tesla dome) the screen would go blank and only the background a maybe a few items would show. The enemies would continue to fire and I could shoot but was unable to see the enemies.

I uploaded a video to Youtube - https://youtu.be/6iGcadeaqck
I should also point out that the issue happened while in the dome as well as the cart.

I attempted to reproduce this behavior on my device but was unsuccessful. It seems the dome is destroyed immediately upon exiting the station's combat mode. Were you able to continue playing after this occurred, or did you die during this wave?

Providing your system information and Godot log files could help us identify the cause of this issue.
You can find the logs here: %appdata%/godot/app_userdata/Dome Keeper

Please send them to: [e-mail]

Doesn't surprise me, this is on my work laptop which doesn't have a dedicated GPU. I will attempt to recreate on my gaming machine at home tonight. I emailed the laptop details and logs to the email you listed.

[Ron Bippinbits]

Thank you for the update and for sending the laptop details and logs. The absence of a dedicated GPU on your work laptop could indeed be contributing to the issue. Testing on your will help us determine if the problem is hardware-specific.

I've created a bug ticket for this issue, but we’ll need additional information to fully understand what is going on.
Once you've had a chance to test on your gaming machine at home, please let us know the results. If you encounter any issues on the gaming machine, please share the logs from that device as well so we can continue to investigate.
