Hello

 

Im experiencing some graphic glitches which indicating lacking textures or other GLX related problems.

I've attached screenshots, Im using the same savegame I had before - wanting to continue my party.

 

The glitches are not in my previous install v2.00.0706 - I didnt want to begin a new game, I could do so of course.

You can download a diff output from: http://www.ninth-art.de/files/POE-diff.txt.gz (gzipped text file) which shows the directory differences of my old inst. POE-orig compared with the new one POE-WM2.

 

Any suggestions?

Im using an GeForce GTX970 graphic card with nvidia drivers 358.16-r1.

 

Hey mega-T,

 

Are you playing on Steam or GOG? If its steam, try verifying your game cache, if its GOG, i would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling. Could you please upload a player.log and you system specs? 

 

Thanks.

Hi Aarik

 

Thanks for the fast response, yes this install (regarding the new one) is really a fresh one (GOG Install).

Originally I attempted to update my existing one, but failed because one patch couldnt be applied (Version woes....).

 

So the inst. files I ran are in order:

gog_pillars_of_eternity_2.11.0.15.sh

gog_pillars_of_eternity_white_march_part_1_dlc_2.0.0.1.sh

gog_pillars_of_eternity_white_march_part_2_dlc_2.0.0.1.sh

 

And this were the latest ones available on GOG.

You can fetch my player log here: http://www.ninth-art.de/files/Player.log

 

 

I wasnt able to upload it as attachment on this forum.

 

Edit:

My on disk MD5's are:

MD5 (gog_pillars_of_eternity_2.11.0.15.sh) = ecb8427d23c6a8e408afb7ee93a73acb

MD5 (gog_pillars_of_eternity_white_march_part_1_dlc_2.0.0.1.sh) = c28b44753e0bb43df87d94dc7081a642

MD5 (gog_pillars_of_eternity_white_march_part_2_dlc_2.0.0.1.sh) = e0d768a6545ace5c02cf7c0f4e63b1be

 

Not sure, maybe one is corrupt - however I think the extractor should handle such issues....

Hey mega-T,

 

It seems there a some errors going on in your log, so it could be a bad install. I also notice that your graphics card doesn't have the latest drivers installed as well. You have 358.16 and the latest is 361.28. Try updating your driver and see if that solves your problem first. 

 

Thanks!

Hi again

 

Compiled and installed fresh nvidia drivers, no change.

I updated the Player.log - well this workstation is running ECC memory with an ZFS pool, so corruption at I/O level is near impossible - only thing that can happen is that the downloaded file was corrupted... sadly GOG doesnt provide any checksums to compare with.

 

What about this $HOME/.cache/unity3d/... is this a directory I should remove?

gog_pillars_of_eternity_2.11.0.15.sh

gog_pillars_of_eternity_white_march_part_1_dlc_2.0.0.1.sh

gog_pillars_of_eternity_white_march_part_2_dlc_2.0.0.1.sh

 

Those are the installers for:

 

Pillars of Eternity  v3.01.977

The White March Part I  v2.00.0706

The White March Part II  v3.00.967

 

You need to download the new v3.01 installers for White March parts 1 and 2.

 

 

PS: This is what the three installers for v3.01 are called:

gog_pillars_of_eternity_2.11.0.15.sh
gog_pillars_of_eternity_white_march_part_1_dlc_2.5.0.7.sh
gog_pillars_of_eternity_white_march_part_2_dlc_2.1.0.2.sh

And yes, it is super annoying that GOG uses their own versioning scheme rather than including the official versions in the installer filenames. I've already complained to their customer support about it.

Hi Ineth

 

Oh okay, I just checked GOG again - yes there are now new installers regarding white_march_part_1 and 2...

They werent uploaded when I did download a fresh base game yesterday (or the day before?).

 

I'll retry with these files then...

Hopefully that is the issue then and your issue is no more!

 

Thanks for popping in and helping out Ineth! I super appreciate it! I overlooked the patch files. 

 

Cheers!

Hi

 

I just wanted to report that this was the problem, reinstalling with the right versions did the trick.

Thanks Aarik for the fast support, also thank you Ineth for pointing out the issue with the versions.

 

I totally agree, its stupid that  GOG uses its own version scheme, its so useless and unlogical - the ones doing the product should manage the version number and nobody else.

A redistribution of a product cannot change its version... this only makes it more complicated for people to deal with software.

 

Edit:

The only bug which remains and is not related to my problem, are the missing status icons in the avatar's - but I think this problem was reported already.
