In-game is black but the units are highlighted team colors

[PCreeper1]

So yeah, apparently this has been going on for some time (according to some other people on the game)

Where you load a multiplayer game, and suddenly...everything is black...except for the units, they are just painted in your teams color (Say you were red, all you could see is your (fully painted/highlighted) red units and your teammates units) and you can't see your buildings but can see the progress of them being built...

Heres a picture: (OH and it also made the chat sortof...overlap itself? i don't even know)

More information would help. Like if you first played previous matches during the same session before this happened.

I think I found the cause of this bug and it will be fixed in next update later this week.

This has happened before, but not in the same session, i'd say this is the second time its happened but the first time was some time ago (were talking 'bout a month or 2 ago (and my memory is just 2stupid to go that far))

I still periodically have that bug sometimes, but it mainly happened to me when I alt-tabbed, I think.
EIther way it happened to me like 3 times in total.

If it happened after alt-tabbing, then this bug is fixed in next update.

Yeah I remember it happening like that to me, but one guy who I was once talking to who reported this issue had it during the game: when the game started it was fine, but in progress this issue happened out of nothing.
It looks like it happens in various cases.

I read this post, though i am still, having this issue, even though you guys said it was fixed lol (Normal steam build)



Unlike the post above, the hud seems fine though. After alt+Tabing, when the problem wouldn't go away, the screen went normal for 2 seconds in the pause menu (ESC), before going black again when i pressed "ESC" key to continue playing. This also happens when in midgame, if you alt+tab out and back again, but only sometimes.

This has happend to me a few times now since i got the steam version a few weeks ago, sometimes i don't even alt-tab the game, and this happens / But i do have running background programs running like wmp
Just for a side note, i am not overclocking, so this probably isn't a graphics anomaly. (i hope)

Might be worth looking into this again, devs.

(Something else i observed; the launch button doesn't work sometimes when creating a lobby, nor does the ready button. Validated cache and fixed it, with one file missing, happens quite often that this bug appears)
