Error since update - Game has gone pixilated !! - Any ideas ?

[Jimov Macc]

Ive turned on PA today and it looks all pixilated and unplayable, like its gone back in time to a 1980s version on acid. Anyone got any ideas or had the same problem ?? I was playing on it the other day and it worked fine !! :(

[Chib]

my windows 10 machine at home runs it fine but my work pc with windows 7 does not like it anymore

[Asticoco]

same issue for me after the update : all is pixelized, i have try to reinstall 2 time, update my graphic card (ati radeon x1300), change my screen resolution but nothing work ;-((((((

[DriverAnt110]

I have a desktop. I'll see about updating my stuff.

[Michiii]

I updated my drivers, but it didn't work

[Burlone312]

I Uninstalled and Reinstalled the game it's still messed up totally unplayable at the moment I hope they fix it soon


EDIT-
Game ran on my old as dirt laptop fine until I downloaded the new update

Processor-AMC Turton II dual-core mobile M500 2.2GHz
Memory- 4 GB
Video-ATI mobility radeon hd 4570
Operating system- windows 7 64-bit

Guys, post your system specs! How are the devs ever going to figure this out if they have no information.

[Epicness]

Yeah we need that.

[Bor Paxk]

I have the same problem with the last update. My pc works with
Intel core 2 Duo
2GB ram
nvidia gforce 7300
windows 10 64bits

before updating the game works good.

Hi guys,

Really sorry about this breakage. Looks like something *may* have gone wrong in the texture loading code while trying to fix a bug on some systems.

Can you please post your system specs (graphics card) and also have a look in debug.txt for one of these lines:

OpenGL Vendor : Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL Renderer : Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Desktop
OpenGL Version : 3.0 Mesa 10.3.2
OpenGL GLSL : 1.30

and one of these:

Using glGenerateMipmaps() to generate mipmaps.
Using GL_GENERATE_MIPMAPS to generate mipmaps.
Using gluBuild2DMipmaps to generate mipmaps.

Thanks

John

Same problem here. Started after last update.

Specs:
Asus Laptop
Pentium T4300 Dual Core @ 2.10 GHz
4GB Ram
GPU: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Relevant Debug.txt:
OpenGL Vendor : Intel

OpenGL GLSL : 1.20 - Intel Build 8.15.10.2869

Using glGenerateMipmaps() to generate mipmaps.

After that, these sections looked odd so here they are:

Loading user sprite images for path: data/sprites.png
Failed to get sprites.png for data/sprites.png
Created FrameBuffer of size 64 x 64 in 1ms
Test texure failed to render correctly, downsizing texture atlas

Warning: Loading a very high res image (2688x128)
Warning: mipmaps requested for non-power-of-two image (2688x128), will break on OpenGL ES

And:
Warning: mipmaps requested for non-power-of-two image (1000x1000), will break on OpenGL ES
Warning: mipmaps requested for non-power-of-two image (359x436), will break on OpenGL ES

Hope this will be resolved soon!

[Laby]

Here's a tip to show spec's!
While in Steam,
find Help the left of the Steam window (Libiary, Community etc.)
Click on it and then click System Information.
Copy that and paste it here.

That should give John enough for the dev team to fix it.

I have this problem, here are my computer specs:

Windows 7 64-bit
Integrated graphics: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
2 GB RAM
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz

In the debug.txt I found:

OpenGL Vendor : Intel
OpenGL Renderer : Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
OpenGL Version : 2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2869
OpenGL GLSL : 1.20 - Intel Build 8.15.10.2869

and

Using glGenerateMipmaps() to generate mipmaps.

Hope this helps.

im not back at work until next monday so ill check it and post it then if you havent already got enough by that point
