I’ve been experiencing this problem and have had no luck fixing it yet despite trying several times. Validated cache, nope. Clean reinstall of game, nope. Changing graphics settings, nope. Clean reinstall of graphics drivers, nope.

So far it has occurred when:

  1. Looking at the Wolf Sentry unit in Mission 2 during the escort part (it being deployed and it jumping into the portal causes no issues).
  2. Hitting large crystals with a cursed (fully charged) shot from Thorn’s bow.
  3. Looking at any the objectives in Mission 3 once they are activated.
  4. Looking at friendly minions in Mission 3 during the final section.

Any time any of these objects come into view, the entire screen goes black other than the silhouette of the faulty object, and if I move copies of the outline are pasted all over the screen. Needless to say, this makes the game rather difficult to play.

A thread on reddit of someone else with the same issue, but under different circumstances:

My specs:
i7-6700HQ @ 2.60Hz
16GB RAM
Nvidia 970M w/ 12GB VRAM running the latest drivers
Windows 10 Home 64 bit

Would appreciate any help/advice :slight_smile:

I am having the same issue any time the game renders teammates. Running on an AMD card, otherwise i7, plenty of ram/win10.

Make sure you have Bloom set to True in your PoplarEngine.ini file, that fixed it for me.
