Hello :)

I'm looking into the first save your provided but everything looks fine on my end :/

Can you upload your DxDiag, Diagnostics files and Output logs, please? This way we can see what happens on your side!

Also, what Quality Level are your running the game on?

(Quality Level is visible/modifiable here:)

Thanks in advance for the info!

Cheers :)

You mean OpenGL is rendering incorrectly with Windows 10?

This is a run down of my snapshots of some of my planets of most ,if not all, of my played game sessions.

please, any reply would do, i still have issues on this nearly spannig a year.

Still havng the same issues on this as last time

Ok Topher69eze, I asked a programmer to look into it.

Yes, I'm still having the Planetary Visual Anomaly Issue for specific types of anomalies. 

Sorry for the Late reply.

Thank you, Dagart.

I'm currently on the latest update [v1.0.25] as instructed in your following procedure.

Yet this particular anomaly still persists, though I have noticed smoother performance when switching to the next higher quality level [fast], from my usual quality level [simple], which there seems to be no noticeable minor lag difference, as seen in previous versions, thank kindly for this.

Still here are two screenshots one of my current save game files.

I will continue to start multiple new games to see how well this goes for randomness in planetary anomaly generation, and in process await further instructions

Thank you.

Hello Topher69eze! 

Thanks again to you for your very complete bug report ;)

I think we have all the information we need.

We fixed some bugs for the integrated Intel graphic devices in the 1.0.25 preview version of the game. You can try it to check if that correct your visual issues:

• Right click on the game in your Steam Library 
• Select Properties
• Select the Betas tab
• Select the 1.0.25 build in the drop down list

If you still have some visual bugs, tell me and we will continue to improve the compatibility with your graphic card.

I'm cuurently on the latest update of Endless Space 2

Version: V1.0.20 S5 GOLD-Public.

Steam User: topher_eze

I would be happy to send more of any info on the "visual Anomaly" display issue, if need be..

Description: 

My name is Topher. I play the game ENDLESS SPACE_2, I seem to be having the same problem. Particularly to my '4-planet' home system [Ibany] in the game, I have two planetary anomalies [Garden of Eden, Kessler's Syndrome], regarding the "Garden of Eden"- IBANY IV planet, it has some kind of visual error due to its anomaly, whereby there are [for lack of a better term] "patches" on and around the planet that open holes through the 3D image of the planet rendering a see-through effect, whereby IBANY III [as seen below] has no such visual error, and displays its 'KESSLER'S SYNDROME' stunningly and perfectly.

Though the game is stable with respect to the other minor issues mentioned above, it is the anomaly issue I that is of high priority. I have put screenshots of my gameplay as well as my system information, any feedback will be gratefully appreciated thank you.

Version: V1.0.52 S5 GOLD-Public.

Reproducibility: Its reproducability is not probable. due to evidence that some anomalies do not show this bug, and cannot be determined before the game starts. 

My suggestion would recommend a player to Pre-design (if not all) most of the system details with limit to how many can be probable, to how many cannot, or to how many can or will be good or bad planetary features, resources, anomalies and planet size.  

My System features and capability.

This has also happened on other various home systems of my other save files, like this one Im currently playing, and its autosaves.

4P_ULTRA.COOL.RED.DWARF_TRAPPIST_gardenofeden.zip

AutoSave 72.zip

AutoSave 71.zip

this is all i can spare at the moment, i await any reply, thank you.

DxDiag:

Output Log File:

output_log.txt

Diagnostics:Diagnostics - 2017'06'07 @1928'41''.html

With its save file: KILL 'DREAMSEEKER' CRAVER.zip

My current Quality Level is on to "Fastest":

My Set Quality Level is on to "Fantastic":

Thank you again for the reply. 

Awaiting the next.

I normally play it at "fastest", not ever on "Fanastic". 

It feels more fluid and smooth that way.

Sorry, I thought you meant a snapshot this is what you requested:

DxDiag.txt

Thanks :)

I passed this thread on to the rest of the team!

Cheers,

Thank you, much appreciated.

Quick question - In your screenshots, nowhere I see mentionned a dedicated AMD/Nvidia GPU and your DxDiag states the display card name "Intel(R) HD Graphics Family"

Can you confirm that you're indeed running the game on an integrated Intel graphic device, or do you have a dedicated GPU?

Thank you :)

There is no AMD/Nvidia GPU or any form of of "Dedicated GPU" Present in or on my system.  

It is only "Intel Inside CORE i7"

These are my stated adapter properties, along with my system settings

As stated in two of my screenshots in earlier comments, i use:

Windows 10 Pro, 

Dell inspiron i5-5547 4th Generation Series Laptop

Inter(R) Core(TM) i7-4510 CPU @ 2.00GHz~2.60GHz Processor

16.0 GB Installed RAM

64-bit OS.

Which also reflects in my devce manager as "Inter(R) HD Graphics Family" and processors below.

Is this what you meant by confirmation? If by any chance do these help? What else should I confirm?

My apologies on this late system check-up.

Out of concern, I have just done a system requirement check to play "Endless Space_2" on the following website:  https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/endless-space-2/14509 

As it states my system does not meet the "minimum" or "recommended" specifications required to run Endless Space_2. 

Regardless of my current"visual planetary anomaly issue" I'm able to play it normally, with out any crashes or what so ever.

Is this also an unforseen problem or risk to my system, If I may ask, given the known system requirements, how is this possible?  :/

Long story short, this is me confirmng that I am  indeed running the game on an integrated Intel graphic device. Though this should be impossible.

Mmh I've checked your DeviceID and it seems your Intel Card is just above the minimum specs so that shouldn't be an issue :)

I'll look into your problem today - in the mean time can you make sure your drivers are up-to-date and validate your game files through Steam?

Cheers,

Im relieved of my worries, thank you.  And sure, I will see to it they are before doing anything else. 

Thanks a Bunch.

Endless Space 2 file updated and validated.

So are drivers

Hello again, thank you for the feedback and advice thus far, I've been able to play through turns a bit longer and possibly better, though I've seen kinda less of the anomaly obstruction, and more very nice new update features, i do wonder, concerning this particular "visual anomaly bug" that im still experiencing, do i still need to send game data details for regular check-up on my part, since it's been roughly a month since my last one. Just out of curiosity.

And still this issue persists in later versions of the game. :(
