Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
We’ve received reports of graphical texture issues affecting AMD users, and these have been flagged to the dev team. We apologize for the inconvenience!
ive spoken to some on reddit, and im going to copy/paste this into the similar reports as its not on the known issue list and seems to affect quite a few people
so far, ive seen it happen mainly on RX cards, 570, 580, and 590. I have tried running older versions the most up to date versions of the drivers, specifically 26.1.1 (latest), 24.9.1, and 25.5.1.
the issue mainly affects buildings, runners (hands) and weapons, i am yet to meet an actuall runner in game so cannot confirm if it happens to other runners, but it also affected my npc enemies.
I wish they would fix this soon.
Same issue with me this has happened to me in the past and it was due to a bug with older AMD GPUs.
CPU: AMD 5600
GPU: Radeon RX 580 8gb
