Voxels added with voxel hand flicker continuously

Victor Avalos shared this bug 2 years ago
Reported

After the warfare II update I noticed some flickering textures on the ground on my offline survival world and recently I found out that these flickering textures only appear on places where I have used the voxel hand.

Hello, Victor!

Thank you so much for the video. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the issue. We had another user the other day with the same issue but sadly, they did not respond and it was closed. Is this happening for you in each graphical pre-set? e.g low/medium/high?

Would it be possible for you to provide a log to see if anything obvious sticks out to us?

You can access your log 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.

It may also be worth trying the below to see if any of this helps the issue :)

  • Verify your game files in Steam

  • Right click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Local Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files

  • Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file

  • It means your game configuration will be deleted
  • You can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

  • Delete ShaderCache folder

  • Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
  • Restart Steam
  • Reinstall VC Redist 2017
  • Update graphic drivers
  • Reinstall the game
  • Make sure your operating system is fully updated

Hello, Victor!

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

Thank you for providing the save file. I have been having a look at it and we do not support any mods so I have had to remove these to do the testing. With no mods, I do not run into this issue at all. I would suggest creating a brand new world without any mods in it. Once this has been created, can you please test if you have the same issue? If you have this in a new world where there are no mods and no history of mods, can you please share the world here?

As far as I can tell with this world, I can not reproduce the issue at all so it could quite possibly an interaction with one of the mods as the world has quite a lot of them in it. Mods can cause all sorts of issues so you it can be hard to tell.

Please let me know how you get on :)

Kind Regards

Hello, Laura,

I created a new offline survival save without mods and I was able to replicate the flickering textures bug after using the voxel hand. I have updated the zip file I shared on my first post to include this new save, which I named "Test 01". Also I recorded the steps I took to create the new save and a few tests I made with the voxel hand: Space Engineers - Flickering Textures - No mods
