Player character and Human NPCs are invisible

    I run the game on Steam OS. On the character edit screen where you choose hairstyles, the character is invisible except for the clothes. During gameplay, the players hand is invisible. When I came across an enemy camp, I was attacked by an invisible NPC, I killed him, and looted the invisible corpse.

    Ive just bought the game and I've been really wanting to play this game for a long time, so I really would like to know how to fix this. I appreciate the game and thanks.

    Sorry for my late response! Apparently all skinned mesh renderers are affected (i.e every model that is animated)... this very much sounds like an issue with the graphics driver (AFAIK SteamOS uses Mesa/RADV) :thinking: Ideally send a report, it will most likely contain more information about what's going on. To do that, please load a world, go to an invisible npc (or just make sure something invisible is on the screen^^), then press ESC and hit the red report button :)

    Sorry for my late response! But thanks a lot for the log :) Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce this issue on a Steam Deck, so it's apparently not related to SteamOS itself, instead it might be an issue between the graphics card and graphics driver :thinking: I'd recommend to check if a SteamOS update is available (which would update Mesa/RADV).


    But there are also a few other things you could try: Currently the Windows version is running through Proton, you could try to select a different Proton version (e.g "Proton Experimental" and see if that helps). If that doesn't work, you could switch to the native Linux version of the game (select the "Steam Linux Runtime" or disable the Steam Play Compatibility checkbox in the game properties in Steam). Does the issue still occur?


    If you want to stay on Proton, you could alternatively force Vulkan by adding the -force-vulkan launch option to the game. Proton will natively use Vulkan (avoiding the DXVK layer), so that might also fix the issue. But unfortunately the Proton/Windows version runs a bit worse under Vulkan...


    As a last resort, you can forcefully disable GPU skinning (which might be responsible for this issue). Unfortunately you can only do that manually: To do that, go to the game directory into the "Data" subfolder and open the "boot.config" with a text editor. Set "gpu-skinning" to 0, then save the file. Does it work then?


    If you still run into this issue after switching to Vulkan or the native Linux build (or after changing the gpu-skinning option), it would be helpful if you could send another report :)
