Insane graphics on Atlas editor on Windows 11

[Seleucids]

I'm using RC-3 and WIndows 11. The archers in Atlas editor look like this by default. I am not using any mods to change the graphics.

  

Give that I am a total cosmic noob at Windows, I probably messed up something simple. Here are the logs and my user.cfg

This seems to happen outside of atlas as well:

I'm sure someone else has got a more informed solution, but just to rule out the obvious/easy ones: have you tried reinstalling the game? Have you checked that the drivers for your graphics card are updated?

Your user.cfg has not set gpuskinning. The default value is true. When I activate it I get nightmare fuel as well. I use arch on my laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 5700U and a AMD gpu.

Does it help to set it off?

I have installed and re-installed both release candidates RC1 and RC3. It happens on both versions. 

Regarding graphics driver, I installed AMD Radeon driver for my specific card from the AMD website. Maybe I misconfigured something... This problem only occurred on Windows and I was able to see perfect graphics with Linux on the exact same hardware and in-game settings.

No. The funny thing persists, although in a slightly different form:

Some additional observations:

• All buildings are rendered correctly, but any organic unit is completely messed up
• Unit skin look darker than they should be
• All GUI elements work perfectly fine

GPU skinning requires restart IIRC. And that's definitely the symptoms for it.

I managed to solve this problem, without restarting. Steps:

1. Uninstall game completely, delete all 0ad config, cache, log and replays. 

2. Re-install game but in a different  location. I did it to my C:\

3. Instead of using the start menu, go into where you installed 0ad and click on pyrogenesis.exe to launch the game. 

Now the graphics are fine. 

 

• Installing to the same location will persist the problem (reason is beyond me)
• Not deleting configs, and most importantly cache, will persist the problem (probably broken render artifacts are in there)
• Starting menu on windows sometimes randomly fails to run the correct .exe file (reason is also beyond me)

Here is a Win10 system with a Vega iGPU.

If I use the old driver (Adrenalin 22.6.1):

• OpenGL with GPU skinning disabled: works fine
• OpenGL with GPU skinning enabled: same issue occurs

I followed your steps, and the issue is not fixed.

I was using vulkan all the time. Maybe try vulkan renderer instead?

If I follow your steps with Vulkan and GPU skinning enabled, then there is a crash issue similar to the one I posted before.

I guess your insane graphics issue might be caused by the driver.
At least on my Vega iGPU, updating the driver solved it.
