Near Gamebreaking Shadow Rendering Glitch! ~Pictures Included!~

[KaMicahZay]

So I have been experiencing some near gamebreaking glitches. Basically, certain areas get blacked out. Seems like it might be shadow related based on the last picture, where the blackness is thwarted by my flashlight, but that isnt always the case, E.I, second to last pic. Also you can see at the top right corner of the last pic where the darkness suddenly cuts off when hitting another floor piece. It would seem that it only affects certain pieces. I have gone through all graphics settings, and no luck. there are some rooms that you couldn't even tell this is happening, and some that you can hardly discern anything. Also I noticed that Corpus levels ususally have the most blackness on the walls, and Grineer usually have more on the floor. However they both have it everywhere. Door frames are always clear of the blackness so far. If I find anything else out I will post more. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them. But please fix this as soon as possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

^Note on this pic 2 glitches at once. Look at hammer. I enjoy this glitch though :)^

Could you take any screen shots of these?

 

I used to see this problem a lot but it got fixed a while back.

I'm putting them in and they dont come through.... I'm going to keep trying though

[KaMicahZay]

there now the screenshots came up. There a bit small but it gets the idea across. I will try to get them bigger if I can

[KaMicahZay]

I updated the pictures and they are now large enough to see some details

Added lots of new pictures so you really get the idea and to hopefully speed up a fix.

So I noticed my game takes extra long in loading screens with this glitch. I think It might be related. Also, It significantly slows my FPS.

1st of all it's the strength of your pc can you tell us what are your specs?

it's possibly the graphics card doing this because he is not having much ram that can store all this data.

I have an Acer Aspire with 4 GB's Ram, 2.13 GHz Processor speed, Intel HD Graphics. I just started using this, and my old computer was  litterally half on everything and didnt have this problem. Also, It runs at the same speed as my old computer even though it didn't have this glitch, even though it should be much faster. I am planning on adding RAM.

So after spamming the same level multiple times I have found that The Darkness is not always in the same spot. For example, on the grineer mobile defense where you do a 'surprise' 3rd defense of the cryopod that slides out, the platform it is on is almost always pitch black. However, after more plays on that level that platform was not dark. And then, after more plays it became dark again. So there are inconsistencies, it isn't just that certain pieces become dark.

Light flickering or when the lights go out on sabotage makes the screen entirely black. With the flickering that is inconvenient because you never know if it is the stalker or not. Also found quite a few more pitch black rooms and when your in a match and you start running into walls and falling off cliffs, people get a bit confused. I don't suppose anyone is working on a fix?

^^ You sir are awesome. apparently the previous owner of this computer had changed the default 64 bit driver to a 32, and that was causing the problem. If there is anyway I can give you reputation or anything, let me know because you are a god amongst forum posters. Once again, Thank you for solving my glitch and letting me see what Warframe looks like without The Darkness again!
