I tried searching for reports of similar error but I must either be inept (very likely) in finding stuff online, or this error is just that unique (not very likely). I apologize if this is actually addressed somewhere and I failed to find it.
Basically everything except the ground glows green. Character, foliage, buildings. There’s no textures, just green glow. My computer is in the low-middle range as far as the game’s requirements go and it ran the game just fine before - I’ve played since VERY early access and until a while after launch. Then I stopped for a few weeks and just now wanted to come back only to face this problem. Nothing in my computer changed since then.
I did a ‘clean install’ of the game
not using any mods
tried both the latest video card drivers and the older ones that I actually prefer
No problem. Can’t help with the actual problem, but at least this way it’ll be easier for others who might know something to see exactly what you mean.
And problem solved! Just got a PM rather than a reply here so assuming the person wanted privacy for some reason.
Turns out that I had texture filtering - LOD bias (DX) set to negative 2 instead of the default 0 in Nvidia driver’s profile, even though I never messed with those settings. Returning it back to 0 fixed the issue.
So thanks everyone for the warm welcome here, thanks to my mysterious savior for the info, and I hope this thread will help if anyone has a similar problem in the future.
