[SOLVED] Solving rare graphics glitch that I can't see!

Figured I could just as well try this here as I try to figure out what is going on. Two players of my mod have reported weird graphics issues with some units recently added, appearing as oily metallic black instead.

There was a similar issue with a unit previously (appearing blue) but was fixed after a recent update in which I moved the files to a different .clb. I attempted to fix the current issue the same way, but no luck.

It's all a shot in the dark. I cannot see the problem myself, nor any of the people helping me to test the mod. I believe this might be an issue with certain graphics cards but again, it's a guess and nothing else, and even so I want it to work for all players regardless of hardware.

Anyone know what is going on here?

Good idea but I will try to find another solution as well. Playing on lower settings is a temporary solution until I figure out what is going on.

Thanks though, going to tell them that!

Bumping this. Problem seems to still be around, no solution in sight.

To be exact, this issue is related to the Draconian Martyr model, which I use as a base for multiple units. The new units have some textures within the material replaced with new ones, which seems to be causing the problem.

Hi Tasty Buttcream,

Do you by any chance have a screenshot of the issue? That way we might be able to see what's wrong. Or alternatively, you can send over the clb to allert@triumphstudios.com.

thanks!

Hi Tasty, I looked at your file, and it looks alright. Judging by the screenshot models, its the 'DraconianSkirtOrange' and/or Green, right? I noticed a few weird texture links in the material tho:

Can you try and set the links the same as the second image?

Thanks! I can recall I had a problem getting the texture work properly until I changed the scar and tattoo overlay to the above .dds, but that must have caused problems for others. The second marked texture is the same as the default, but I changed that too just to be safe.

I will be releasing a patch today, we'll see how that turns out. Thanks for the help!
