The UI/Graphics are busted

It seems that the UI and some graphics after the patch are now busted. I have screenshots and ticket numbers!

First up! The vanishing icon act! My bank is actually completely full, but the icons are gone!

Second, the blinding white missing textures of DOOM!

And last, but certainly not the least, the vanishing UI element!

Ticket number is in my chatbox in the first screenshot.

I've tried changing zones, changing characters, logging out and logging back in. Nothing helps, it always looks like this now.

It's a bit difficult to play right now. :P

    This is most likely due to latency. I'm seeing the correct elements on my machine.

    Alright I'll have to mess with it then. I did a force verify just in case and it had no effect.

    Looks like a few others are starting to have this happen as well.

    Yep, definitely not just a few of us now. Not sure this is latency anymore.

    And one more screenshot for good measure. This time in a tasty orange flavor!

    I've had this issue since Season 8 as well. Sometimes hopping between alts fixes it, or closing and restarting the game.

    I had this issue as well as of recent, for me I had to reset my video settings twice and restart and force verify the files and it seemed to resolve the issue for NOW. :rolleyes:

    I'm having this problem too, mainly in the dyson sphere. It's really annoying. I've switched from lowest to highest graphics settings and back again. My jem dread is the only ship that isn't a white blob. I can occasionally get a textureless white silhouette of a ship, but usually not even that. Even razr game booster doesn't help, and it's really frustrating because It's ruining the dyson sphere experience for me.

    I played through the whole fed tutorial tonight on max graphics settings without any lag, it was beautiful, my game actually looked like the trailers. Then I hop over to the sphere and it's like I'm colorblind. The worst was by far in the ground combat zone. I couldn't see anything except for the floor.

    Oh, and the ground on defera has disappeared, and when I look down, there's nothing for miles except for the ominous black center of the planet. It's kind of unsettling.

    Since this never happened BEFORE season 8, and happened immediately after season 8 for a large number of people (all posting screenshots of the exact same glitches), I'm guessing it's probably not latency.

    Unless of course, the patch managed to install a ton of latency on the servers that was not there prior to the patch.

    Kindly check the multiple threads on this exact issue, spanning different OS's, graphics cards/manufacturers, and DX9/DX11. It's a fairly broad issue atm.

    Thanks,

    I had it happen, relogging fixed it. But a fleetmate got fed up with it and gave up for the night.

    I had the same problem, but sussed it out. It appears that my graphics card control panel thing wasn't recieving some of the program default settings from the game. so, from my nvidia control panel i set all the global settings to awesome and hey presto... it works.

    Also having these exact same issues.

    Particularly on the Ground Battlezone, where most details are not showing up (Item pick-ups are a giant white square), Disruptor Turrets are firing green squares, Command "Coins" are layers of pink squares, enemy uniforms are white or missing entirely... Some enemies are invisible, disappearing floor (ground), disappearing objects like columns, rocks, and similar...

    Kind of seems like it is showing up in places where there would be interaction triggers or collision paths or something...

    Also the disappearing backgrounds to menus, and items in inventory not being visible, as well as Reputation details and Holding details being invisible, are all happening.

    It's really bad on Dyson ground.

    Dyson space is mostly just my ship flickering between a black or white silhouette. And or missing elements in menus and inventory.

    STFs are intermittent, particularly with effects like plasma or other "Gas" effects, debris from destroyed ships, and similar.

    System space (like Qo'noS or Sol), is also intermittent but similar to Dyson Space.

    I have fewer issues on the ground in places like the First City or Klingon Academy. Don't know if that is from zoning or not.

    ALL of these problems started in earnest over the last week. There may have been a few minor issues with icons over vendors heads and the like as early as last week... It's definitely gotten a lot worse this week though.

    Yeah, it's definitely getting worse. The shots I put in my OP are after around 20-30 mins. If you let it go on without exiting and relaunching, it looks like this:

    What possible latency would cause a permanent graphics issue such as this? If anything it is a programming issue and/or gpu/cpu memory leakage.

    Have had this issue one to many times now. It's a 50/50 shot that sometimes when I deselect my advanced graphics settings and hit cancel to undo the reset, it will fix the graphics problem. Like I said it doesn't work all the time, if it doesn't I have to shut the game down. Wasn't this a problem on the test servers before 8 went live?

    I never saw it on Tribble while I was testing S8. I tested right up to the release on Holodeck and everything seemed fine. It was only on Holodeck that I had this happen, and it happened on day 1 for me. I don't think it's something they could have fixed beforehand.

    This is still a huge problem for me. Have any of the dev team commented on this at all?

    Found a possible fix:
    Try updating the graphics driver to version 331.82

    Did so and it went away and has of yet to return.
