Graphics Issue
Anyone else have the issue since the full release that the ground is just a blue kind of patchy mess? Ran fine for up until the full release and now it is just unplayable. Checked drives, verified files, firewall settings and all. Nothing seems to solve this. Any ideas?

Go to Documents. Rename Polymorph folder to something else, like add a period so the game generates a new one. You may have had mods or incompatible settings from EA

You should probably just delete your old Polymorph folder and start fresh, all your saves will be incompatible anyway. But you can back it up, if you want.

I just got the game and ran into the exact same problem.. :( All maps are blue and foggy, cant see any land, trees or grass.

Unplayable. No idea what the issue is.
I have a i9-10900 / RTX 3090. So not that old. Win 10

Tried deleting the folder there now and starting fresh. No change. But thanks for the tip. Was worth a shot.

What are your PC specs?

Also, are you on Windows 11 or a prior edition? I've heard this game runs on Linux fine but who knows with older versions of Windows

if this issue continues... Well, there is the option to revert back to Early Access. Go to Steam Properties of the game, and check the Beta option. You should see the Early Access version there. See if the game runs fine on EA the way it used to, i guess? Sorry, i'm at a loss.

I'm running the game just fine on my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop:
i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 16.0 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 2060, w only 6 gig dedicated GPU memory, up to date Windows 11. it runs a little hot but so does everything on my piece of ♥♥♥♥

Windows 10. Older PC by now. Just odd that it ran fine before and only started doing this since full release. Will have to wait and see so. Planned on upgrading the PC anyway, so maybe that'll do the trick.

I was right about to post on this as well. Tried reinstalling and did nothing. I am running on laptop Windows 11, I thought my graphics card was combusting lol. Hopefully Dev finds out whats going wrong

Same issue here, my specs are well within recommended for this game.

I wrote directly to the developers. They gave me this answer which actually worked. It was the "Clean install" that fixed it :


((((( Hi David,

This is almost certainly a corrupt driver issue. Updating drivers often will not fix broken drivers and you will need to do a clean install of you GPU drivers.
To do this reinstall the most recent driver but when doing so choose "custom installation" then check the box for "Clean install"

Once reinstalled try the game again and the issue will hopefully have been resolved.

Please let us know how you get on. ))))))


All running smoothly now.

Thank you for this reply! I was having the same issue as everyone here and I googled how to do this "Clean install" and now it works fine. If anyone's having the same problem, I followed the instructions of the clean install video of Computer Surgeon on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPqUeU09cf8&ab_channel=ComputerSurgeon) and fixed it. Thank you!

Tried this solution, did not work for me. Perhaps my R9 GPU just isn't enough.
