Transparent graphical glitch in tunnels and caves
I've recently picked up this game to play with some friends but I've encountered a somewhat annoying problem.
Every time I enter a cave or a tunnel the walls becomes transparent/opaque.

I can often see under the ground and it overlaps with nearly everything around it which makes it really hard to navigate. I'm currently using the minimap to try and navigate through the levels but this is rather hard, especially in very narrow hallways. So far I've tried reinstalling the game, updating my graphical drives and adjusting the graphical setting but with no success.
Has anyone encountered similar problems or know how to fix this?

If anyone has any questions about my system or settings I'll happily answer them.

Have you had any of overheating problems in previous games or you bought some PC parts which are half-used? I see tempeture of your CPU is pretty high unless your cooling system is good. I think Issue comes from your hardware itself, no software can fix it, maybe whoel Windows bugged out, but it's highly doubtable.

I have seen some other of my buddies showing stuff liek this because there computer was slow, so it didn't generate games properly and such, but I recommend you to overcheck your PC parts, especially CPU.

I never really had overheating problems and I only bought new parts. I've bought a new Ryzen 1500X about a half year ago and got 16 gigs of RAM. My GPU(RX480 8G) should be more than enough to play these sort of games and it doesn't get any hotter dant 65°.
So far this is the only game that's having problem so I don't really think that it's a hardware issue but thanks for the input.

Well, let's hope others have some more useful info on this.

I had that problem and I just reverified my files for the game. I recently bought a GTX 1050TI OC and I thought it was that but all my other games work fine. Try re verifying. I havent had a problem since

Thanks for the reply. I've tried reverifying but without success. The levels are still transparent so I'll have to keep searching.

Check if Surface Format Optimization is disabled in Radeon Settings.

I checked the setting and it was indeed turned on but it still did not fix the problem. I do think it helped a bit but this is my current situation:

Ah I see you are playing on 4k? I heard that's not really recommended no matter how stubid it sounds. Try to play this game in 1080p and tell me how that works.
StreamWhenGuy Aug 12, 2018 @ 6:38am 
I'm pretty sure that's something within Radeon Settings...

I'm not playing in 4K but I do use a wide screen monitor so I'll try to adjust the resolution and see if that helps.

I've tried adjusting the resolution settings and tried running the game in windowed mode but the problem still persists

I read this article what I quickly searched and it seems problem persists inside Radeon as I previously meantinued. Well I suggest you to contact with those Radeon guys trough their app. I don't persoanlyl knwo hwo that works because I am using Intel with NVidia.
Party Gimli Aug 12, 2018 @ 2:24pm 
tried adjusting the Radeon settings as well but it still has no effect. It's probably something in the game files. I'll try to contact one of the devs soon and see if they can help.
