Visual Bug?

[alexis_taylor92]

When I click on certain files my computer bugs out. Initially I thought it was normal as I noticed it only on .dec files, which are encrypted, I now realize however that I'm supposed to see a bunch of numbers. It also does this with .pdf files, which I can partly see on the console window after typing ls to close the file (making the glitch immediately go away). Still though, on certain files they have so much text I can only read about 1/2 the info (maybe more or less, I can't really be certain as I can't see the full file). It also glitches when I run the .exe that always uses port 1433, can't remember exactly which one that is. Please help, its gotten to the point where I think I may be beginning to miss out on actual important info.

can´t examine the pictures. i can´t see them. :/ seems like i or you need to enable 3rd party hosting or stuff, idk, can you make screenshots and upload them on google drive? or provide video footage

I can't without paying money on photobucket (that's new-ish), and for some reason when I upload to tinypic it instantly deletes my uploaded pic (which is weird as hell). Any alternatives you can think of that are free and easy to use?

What it pretty much does though is either a white screen, or it looks like it places a distorted overlay of the command window (think giant like 72 point font) flashing across the screen. Random letters and numbers from the command window. I say from the command window (where you type PortHack and stuff) because it'll be like {'s and O's and other random characters flashing across and either white or black field occasionally with a glimpse at a section of the actual text below. I can still click on things, although I can't see what I'm actually clicking, or I can type in the command area, I just can't see anything other than large flashing random letters, numbers, and symbols.

Try imgur maybe for uploading the photos

you can use the screenshot function of steam or use a programm like Greenshot which i use to make screenshots when steam function isn´t available.

or make a video with Open broadcaster software and upload it on google drive

I want to say I fixed my issue by running the XNA version of Hacknet. If anyone else is having a similar problem, or any graphics issues (like blocky text which this also fixed for me) I recommend that they at least try it, worst comes to worst it is quite easy to revert back to the regular Hacknet if it doesn't help or only makes things worse. Just follow the instructions at this link

it is really easy to implement, only takes like 5 mins to do, and may make your game 1000x more playable if you are having any graphics issues like I was.

Completely understandable. I attend uni, so I know how school can be and how distracted it can make people (and how crazy it can make you feel). I remember during one finals week staying up 3 days straight, screaming at my family and boyfriend if they even looked at me, and being altogether completely batsh*t f-ing crazy until the week ended (to be fair I had to memorize 81 pages of notes). Thank you for just even bothering to read this when you had school on the mind.

I posted my fix, just because I hate finding stuff like this through google when I have a problem, stuff that was probably solved, only to discover the problem is exactly what I'm struggling with, and the user only commented "Solved!" or didn't comment again at all. I really hope that anybody else experiencing a similar problem finds this, and finds it useful instead of stressing and being stuck with missing mission (or just random fun) information/text from the game. I like to read every file the game contains, so to miss out of some of it because it wasn't displaying right was quite unpleasant to me.

yourwelcome, i always read new threads if steam is willing to notify me. since it started to sometimes not do it. thanks for being helpful to the community by shareing your solution.
