1x1 LCD flicker continues to occur across different builds

James R. Skamarakas shared this bug 3 years ago
Solved

This is a known issue to Keen

It has been reported for months without resolution

Several reports over the past year have suggested giving up any hope of a resolution and switching to a sci-fi 3x3 or larger, or a modded version of the LCD panel.

or, ugh, the transparent LCD panel


This issue hit me personally last week, and I and several other players all discussed our GeForce updates, settings, and attempts to resolve. Stand really close, no issues. Step back, flicker returns

Switch to transparent (ugh), no issues

Switch to Sci-Fi - resolved


Steps to solve this issue

1. Get told to upvote the prior threads from months ago, and pray to a non-existent god.

2. Switch the the ugh, transparent LCD, sci-fi, or a workshop mod.

3. Just maybe, maybe, in 2021, you could look at this issue?


Game files available

Heck, you can log onto a server Alpha One, and experience it yourself if need be.


Numerous players started noticing 1x1 LCD screens image flicker

Screens would show text or images, and flashing arrows in different directions.

Hello, James,


thanks for sharing the issue with us. However I was not able to reproduce it on vanilla game. I had 1x1 LCD screen with arrow image on it and trying from various angles and distances, no flickering whatsoever.

Do I understand it right that it is happening all the time for you? Or does it happen from time to time? Can you please maybe also try to reproduce it on singleplayer vanilla game? Or at least on vanilla server? That one that you provided has 44 mods on it, so... might be a mod issue, if it is not happening in vanilla game.

What exactly do you mean by "flickering"? Can you maybe share video of this happening?

Kind Regards

I see this as well and will describe what I see.

Put a text panel on the toolbar. Go to a small grid ship/station, not large grid. Try to place the "Text Panel" and the direction arrow of the text panel is constantly rotating. Placing the panel is okay and the panel is responding to keys for rotating it before placing, it is just visually constantly rotating.

Mine is single player without mods across my existing games and newly started games.

Hello James and ShadedMJ again,

so I tried even yours steps to reproduce, ShadedMJ, and still no luck. Even though your issue is different from what James is talking about I think. Nevertheless, none of this is happening to me on vanilla game. Can you maybe please share a save file of affected world so I can take a look on it in the world where it is actually already broken? Or at least a video of this issue happening would be help as well.

Thanks.

You can access your save files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves. There should be a folder with your SteamID and your saves.

Please zip the file and attach it here. If you are having difficulty attaching files you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

Kind Regards

I did some more tests. My issues are only present after SE 1.195 and are not present with SE 1.192 and 1.194.

Detailed information is on Steam:

Hello James and ShadedMJ!

ShadedMJ - so I finally figured it out :) Both issue - the rotating LCD and the Yield module missing texture. Both written down and put into our internal system.

As for your issue, James, still no luck with it, sorry :( I do not understand what "flickering" do you have in mind. I see nothing wrong pointing towards issue you are mentioning.

Kind Regards

@Ondrej Borz : The text panel isn't rotating now so that may be fixed. I did find a new bug. Made my own bug report.
