Blackwood Graphics isue

[JDoe]

Has anyone seen an issue where some trees on blackwood look like blocky black trees? This Just started the other day. It's on each island. Not all of them, just some random ones.

If i go to the main ocean map it's totally normal. I even loaded some older saves and it is still the same. Is my map messed up? Maybe reinstall? Has anyone else seen this?

I have the same Problem. Reinstall didn't help :-(

Same here
I reinstalled, verified , didn`t work

With the recent changes to the resources, I think they removed one of the wood types and its corresponding code within the game, but left the visuals, albeit broken. some of the trees on Blackwood are unharvestable because of this, and others have broken graphics. The only way to get it work again is to completely update Blackwood with the newest resource variables, but I dont think Grapeshot cares much about that map anymore.

Thank you, this makes sense. How would i update the variables? Someone said they reinstalled but that didn't work. Is there something different we need to do?

You would need to manually edit Blackwood to reflect the same changes to resources as found on the Ocean Map. Devkit would be the first go to, or maybe an Unreal Assets Explorer to open up Blackwood's files and find the code for resource distribution.

To be honest, I have no idea on how to do that step-by-step. With how broken the game is and janky its file structure, finding what you need and how to fix it will take a lot of googling and tinkering.

Whenever I play on Blackwood, I just ignore the broken trees, and deal with it. theres enough mods out there to get you what you need thru a market or just use the vanilla resource trader found at the Freeport island.

glad this problem isn't just me. so far i've only seen willow trees on the swamp with the texture issue, and some large palms on cyclops island that can't be harvested

Yeah I was hoping there was a mod to fix the texture but no such luck.

blackwood is a dead dlc et on with a private server and enjoy the game

sorry to necro, but for anyone googling with has this problem, it can be fixed by grabbing the file with the willow textures from a 2020 steam depo version, then just putting the folder in your newer version of atlas
