I reported it through official means but I want to see if others are having the same issue. The snowy variants of some vanir cabin sets (which was on sale on bazaar just a couple days ago) don’t show snow anymore. It’s happening half the pieces so far:
Vanir Cabin Wall Snowy
Vanir Cabin Wall Window Snowy (this has ice elements on the window opening, but no snow texture)
Vanir Cabin Door Snowy
Vanir Cabin Stairs Snowy
Vanir Cabin Turf Foundation Snowy
Vanir Cabin Wood Foundation Snowy (sides are missing snow for the foundations)
All roof pieces are working as intended with snow textures.
No mods enabled, official server, tried with variety of video settings, same result.
I wanted to give heads up to those planning to build a snowy cabin just like me. This was my favorite set.
I haven’t seen any other reports of this, but that may just mean no one has mentioned it, rather than no one has eperienced it. (Thanks for including that you already reported this - saves me asking )
I’ll add this to the player-maintained bug lists.
Thanks, I added some more comparison with ice but no visible snow on pieces.
I’m very surprised this hasn’t been brought up by anyone. I asked some friends to try it out, will report back if they somehow got it working.
UPDATE:
Double checked, same issue on other players, too. Unfortunately, it wasn’t just on my side but it was replicable easily.
It works on very few select places, like Hidden Way or Frozen Slope, but not in Sepermeru, Highland, near Betrayer’s Bridge (cold place, the one in the OG post) or the desert. I’d blame it on biome temp but it used to work in all biomes.
The biome specific element is interesting - suggests that it has somehow been tied to the biomes weather systems (except that Bridge of the Betrayer is one of the coldest points on the map, so you’d think it would work there…).
I’d guess the reason there haven’t been other reports here is just tha either people weren’t trying it, or those that were maybe built in the places where it still works so didn’t notice a problem. (Plus just some people can’t be bothered to report things…)
All the details are useful - adds more for the devs to help them home in on the exact cause.
I tried it too. Up north. Not far from Traitor’s Bridge (the Wetside Ruins).
The frost on the wall is barely noticeable, even though there’s snow all around—on the ground and the trees.
I had a base at that spot in the old version, and the effect was clearly visible. It’s not exactly interesting that it disappears, though, since standard walls already exist.
Now, if that snow turned into moss in the jungle—well, that might make some sense. But as it stands? No, it’s a bug.
