Bug: Unable to see out of library tower

[Retrotude]

Just wanted to report this bug. Since the latest update I've been unable to see the focused locations through the viewport on the library tower. What should be the outdoor portion of the island instead appears as glitched repeated textures of the portions of the building to the sides of the viewport. Screenshot follows.

I can't verify that. I just tried two locations (space ship and a second one I've already forgotten) and there were no problems. It would be helpfull to know your specs.

EDIT:

It seems I found a bug myself. Maybe it is related to yours:

Approaching the viewport. See the blue (low res) sky:

Looking THROUGH the viewport. Oh, it's actually in the middle of the night...as it should be:

I can confirm this bug as well, I get black, or repeated textures in the lib tower too, everything else is fantastic thus far!

[SleepyCat]

Yep, happens to me, too.

Played a bit further in the game and it seems this only happens to me when the tower is focused on the Mechanical Age entrance. Was able to see just fine on the Stoneship Age's entrance.

I have also had this problem at times in the game. I submitted a ticket to Cyan, though it may help them troubleshoot it if others report it as well.

I'm having this issue too, cannot see anything but black from any tower location.

[Frost]

Same here.

Just encountered this as well

This happened to me as well, except it was with the Channelwood portal. Dunno about the others.

I just encountered a very similar issue, except instead of darkness, I actually saw the ingame menu.

Not only could I see it through the gap, I could even click on it too. It was at this point that I realised that for some reason the escape key wouldn't bring up the menu normally like it was supposed to.

I'm having this issue, too. Is there any fix for this?

EDIT: Running the game in compatability mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) fixed the repeating texture glitch for me. I don't know why it helped, since this game is only 2 years old, but it did. I just ran it with the first compatability option it gave me. Hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into this issue.

I have also run into this bug when looking at the Mechanical Age at least (I have not tested the other viewpoints). I ran the Windows 8.1 compatibility troubleshooter on the game and it suggested Windows 8 (oddly enough) which worked. Thank you for the idea perp!

Me too. :)

I get the same bug - it's not rendering anything so you get a weird texture glitch
