Empire Borders Missing

[Highscore]

I have had this annoying issue for some time, and there does not seen to be a cure - Empire borders on the galactic map, the colorful bubbles, are missing. Its impossible to tell where what empire is, and playing became a no-go with this bug.

Conventional and standard approaches like checking game cache and changing settings did nothing.

I recently started getting this too. It was working fine up until a couple weeks ago, then started doing this.
It's not unplayable, so far; I realized after a while that the outlines are still sort of there, just in, how to put it, no colour. There's this faint ragged edge effect where it's slightly darker than the neighbouring space, but you have to look fairly close to spot it. And of course when you're zoomed out you can still see the different empires' names on the map, you just don't get the colour surrounding them.
I'm running Linux, don't know if that matters.

Ah, yes--I also have no mods.

Also experiencing this on one Linux computer but not another one. By the way thanks for having this game run on Linux! was a big plus for me when buying.

Somebody told me at GamingonLinux that "This is a driver problem. The latest mesa 17.2.6 fixes that." I haven't tested that yet, but it seems like hopeful news. It would make sense if, for instance, one of your computers was running an NVidia card and the other was AMD or Intel and using (older) Mesa.
If it's true this isn't a Stellaris bug at all and we can look forward to it disappearing as we update things. Jolly good!
Incidentally I would not have bought Stellaris if it weren't on Linux, even though it's just my kind of game. Kudos to Paradox for bringing it to us Linuxers!

If you want, play switch to low graphics setting. The borders look like crap, but there visable. Everything else still looks awesome, the planets and the ships. Other than that, if you find a fix for the amd graphics drivers bugging out let me know.

Also curious, What is your distro and graphics hardware? Are you using the open source AMD drivers or proprietary?


Also check out a mod on the workshop. "Fix No Borders Bug" Working great in 1.9.1. Fixes everything and is ironman compatiable.

Neither. I'm running Mint on my laptop, which is fairly new but a thin thing with Intel graphics. Which I believe means using the open source driver is the main or even only option.
On my desktop the problem doesn't show up, I guess because it's got an NVidia card, but my desktop is pretty ancient.
