Graphical issues during gameplay

[Marsh]

So I recently purchased the game and so far I'm interested in continuing it. I did suffer from the dumb date and time bug and I bypassed it. But I also have this annoying graphical issue which shows me "Input" and "Graphics" at the top of the screen. I'll provide a link for a video showing the bug itself. I've also seen that the bug gets worse once I leave the tutorial area When you first get introduced to the Fairize mechanic . So now the bug covers the whole intro screen but stops at the menu. I'll also provide a link alongside the previous

I have this same issue too. I've searched everywhere to find a solution but nothing so far.

I had this problem too, but I seemed to have fixed it by switching to borderless fullscreen mode. Might be worth a try.

Borderless window did not sove the issue. Seems like this problem occurs with certain video cards. My main gaming machine uses an older Geforce 690 GTX. I ran this game without any graphic issues or flickering on my laptop which uses a Geforce 860m GTX. Both using the latest driver. Does not seem to be SLI related, ran the game with SLI both enabled and disabled.

Funny enough, I'm also running a Geforce 690 GTX on this computer. I'm running some older drivers due to being lazy about it. 376.53 specifically from back in October. I'll see if updating them causes the problem to persist on my end.

Edit: Updating them didn't cause the issue to reappear, so maybe it isn't a driver issue? I can post my settings for the Nvidia Control Panel and see if any of that is different from yours.

Anisotropic filtering is App controled
Antialising - FXAA is off
Antialising - Gamma Correction is on
Antialising - Mode is App Controlled
Antialising - Transparency is off
CUDA - GPUs is All
Multi-GPU is just under recommended
Power Management is Prefer Max Performance
Shader Cache is on
Texture Filtering - Anisotropic is off
Texture Filtering - Negetive LOD Bias is Allowed
Texture Filtering - Quality is on Quality
Texture Flitering - Trilinear optimization is on
Threaded optimization is on auto
Triple Buffering is off
V-Sync is set to application settings
Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames is set to 1

Don't know if that'll help, but it's the only thing I can think of right now.

Edit 2: The glitch does seem to happen rarely on battle transitions now, how odd.

I was running this on borderless :/ I have no idea where the problem stems sadly. Trying fullscreen didn't fix it either.

That looks like an issue with scaling. What's your monitor resolution/aspect ratio?

Do you have more than one monitor?

I only have one monitor and I'm playing it on 1920x1080

That's bizarre because it works fine for me. Have you tried DSR in Nvidia options? Sometimes superscaling can help keep the UI together. Alternatively, I would verify gamecache since STEAM has no problems downloading corrupted files somewhat normally for me.

The last two things I'd reccomend is deleting the temp files the game generates (I usually delete any folder found in Documents and all the somewhat small files in the game folder itself then re-verify the game)

And, finally, running something like Reshade can help since it overlays the game and might stabilize it. Sleeping Dogs, for example runs in a tiny window with black bars all around it for me but when I activate Reshade it fullscreens. Bizarre but it works.

I'll try the methods out but seeing as I verified the cache a number of times I don't think it's a corrupt file that's been downloaded by steam.

You could also try forcing it to run in 640x480 windowed through windows settings then use a program like borderless windowed to make it fullscreen, that way the UI -should- scale properly.

I'm fine with playing a game on a lower resolution or on windowed that isn't what bothers me. When I play and I go through menus or battles there's the annoying "input graphics" thing that keeps popping up. It isn't gamebreaking but it's an eyesore which only gets worse when the game progresses.

I have a a frame rate drop on the equip menu and some fairize skill

[Ixoneo]

I have the same problem, resolution is 4k and Gpu is GTX 1080 Ti...

Yea this is an issue with SLI. Fixed it by setting SLI rendering mode in NVIDIA Control Panel to "Forced alternate frame rendering 2"
