Since Delta Rising launch I have been having client crashes and rendering issues on max graphical settings. The rendering issue would occur as a black film over skin and clothes. This would happen most often in Mindscape and Earth Space Dock, but could occur in any ground scenario.
The client will also have a video crash to desktop event in ground settings that can be avoided by reducing the graphics to medium on both GPU and CPU sliders. I've been trying to eliminate which setting is triggering the issue but with the constant crashing it's been quite difficult and frankly I'm not paid to be Cryptic's beta tester.
A friend has been having the same issue and the only commonality between our systems is an AMD R9 290X. So I would assume it's something to do with that. Oh and the issue has persisted across two graphical driver updates.
Just to reiterate, it was all working fine before Delta Rising came to holodeck.
Edit:
So looks like it's the return of
