Title: Can't do anything in Arena basement due to gfx glitching
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? yes
Details: The display of the scene while in the village arena basement is glitching so bad you can't do anything in there (I will post pictures shorly!)
Steps to Reproduce: Go in to the arena basement in my lot. May be gfx card/driver related, but cannot test that as I am traveling for business, and only have my work laptop!
User Specs:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
CPU: AMD PRO A10-8700B R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G (4) System RAM: 15787
GPU: AMD Radeon (TM) R6 Graphics GPU RAM: 4429
SotA.EarlyAccess.Win.64.507.Date.11.17.16
Area: BasementSceneDungeonVillage_Arena
Area Display Name: Village Stone Arena Basement
Loc: (36.6, 5.0, 23.8)

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand of course, after restarting the client again (this time to take some screenshots) it works fine!

 

Holding off on entering a bug report for now, but if the issue reoccurs, please advise.

 

Likely caused by a hiccup with your card/driver. It may need a nap. Issue not observed internally.

 

Yeah, but I restarted the client 3 times and it kept doing it, and the 4th time, to make screenshots, it didn't, and hasn't again so far... Of course, there's a new patch out now, so IDK...

 

It keeps coming back, not just in my basement. Tried to run through Bloodriver to reach the rift, and it glitched so bad I could not keep my orientation! I retreated to the exit with a thug on my heels... And by the time I closed my client (which crashed 3 times today doing nothing special BTW) the rift had closed... I am *also* seeing it on the overland!

(This was in 509)

So yeah, something makes the game glitch really bad on this laptop! Screenshots I make all look fine though, so it's most likely a Game/GFX driver issue (And that's all aside from the fact that I only get an estimated 10fps at best BTW!)

 

Can you provide screenshots for what you're observing? This may be related to a known issue listed for AMD A8 Integrated Graphics Chipsets (used in Laptops) that will cause the game to be unplayable (crashes when attempting to log in).

 

Screenshots show nothing (just what SHOULD be displayed), but I'll try recording the screen when it happens again... A10 and A8 are very closely related, so that wouldn't be far fetched...
