Why the smoke look like a square after the update

[sakurasama]

new bug?

[Gunnbjorn]

I've noticed large particle effects looking really messed up too. Definitely not rendering correctly.

I wonder sometimes if games and developers are tweaking things that affect the game that we don’t see as a patch? My settings have been all over the place for the last few days. Same as mentioned above.

They would HAVE to put out a patch to change things like particle effects. Their sprites aren't kept serverside.

If you mean the large explosions from the big robot bosses, I think those have always been pixellated due to these probably being scaled up versions of the smaller explosions we see in the game.

That's not what they're referring to. I've seen it too, currently large particle effects have visible square clipping around the edges.

Many frames are lost when the smoke appears

Yes I see, could be a result of the latest patch introducing this bug. What's your GPU?

I'll check on my end after I get my PC back tomorrow, currently it's getting a CPU & cooler swap at a shop. I have an AMD GPU so if the issue appears on my end too it's in the game files, if not then it's an Nvidia driver issue of some kind.

I found it was the problem of texture.Lower it to the lowest level first,and then raise it later，ok its fine.If you use medium level in the beginning, there will be problems.
