Well I logged in after the patch to see how things changed. I was flying in the Dyson Sphere and... here it is back.

Postprocessing slows it to come up every ten minutes, but it comes sooner or later. :(

    Took 20mins for myself to reproduce the missing icons & textures bug. It just happened that the shield strike/repair textures gave up first. A large white opaque oval covering the entirety of your ship, makes navigation tricky enough, without being sandwiched between two Voth battleships at the time!

    Shame. I was hoping the announced fix to the graphical stuttering/smearing bug would have at least helped with general graphics stability. Here's to next Thursday.

    I just logged in for the first time after the patch. Went from Eta Eridani to Zeta Andromeda to Beta Ursae just filling up my doff mission queue and by the time I hit the fleet dilithium mine I had this

    System and graphic card specs:
    Windows 7 home premium 32bit w/service pack 1/AMD 965 Black Edition processor.
    EVGA GTX 460 768MB GDDR5 ram

    The map(s) you were on
    Eta Eridani Zeta Andromeda Beta Ursae


    Reproduction steps:
    Just flying from sector to sector


    How you made it occur:
    Already described and no changes to any graphics settings of any kind affect the problem.

    Confirm, still occurring for me.

    The new twist is that it can happen without a sector change now. Like in combat I had it start.

    Hi,

    As usual, their patch that does'nt work, in addition has bugged the reputation system.

    It is time to roll-back Cryptic !! And please, stop publish content without debugging.

    This graphical issue will happen if constant loading of character changing/zones/sectors/maps are needed. With a message like material files reloading at each loading screen shows a clear sign of gpu having to reload the files over and over possibly causing a memory leak and the problematic display issues. But this is hypothetic and not 100%!!!

    This is happening to mee :(

    Everything is almost normal until you switch a character. After that everything starts to be cubical, white and shiny, strange sound, + lag.
    Only solution I can find is to totally turn off the game and start it again every time when switching character .:eek:

    Yep only known fix I know of is to shutdown the game client entirely, and restart it.

    For the white textures thing try switching "Screen-space ambient occlusion" on and off when it happens. It worked for my wife's machine. No restart required.

    I already said that, though it seems to be in a different, however it still happens after a while anyway and still no fix with today's patch...
