Description
Graphical Artifacts


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
228.003

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
After the latest patch (Mac patch) I'm getting really bad graphical artifacts that manifest as a white outline around icons (i.e. supply ship icon) and around tech nodes. Additional white lines can be seen in the background animation of the technology screen. No mods are presently installed. I've tried adjusting all the graphical settings with no success. I've also tried the various display modes (borderless, windowed etc.) also with no change.

Computer information:

Windows 7 64-bit
Nvidia GTX 980 (latest drivers)
RAM 10GB
Intel Core i7 950
144hz monitor

Ultra Settings
1920x1080
Borderless Windowed

Can you replicate the issue?
Start a new game. Navigate to the research screen. Close the research screen. At this stage I would usually see the white outline around the supply shuttle icon. Returning to the research screen would yield white outlines around the research nodes. I've included a screenshot of what I'm seeing although it's worse than it appears in the screenshot.

I'm seeing the exact same thing and can confirm, it looks way worse in the game than it does in a screenshot. It appears that every single art asset, particularly ones going through hover or ambient scroll, are being impacted. This issue is 100% persistent and it's not that it can be replicated, it's that right now it can't be avoided. The game is mostly functional but visually unplayable.
 
I can confirm the exact same issue is happening on my system. I only noticed it today as of march 20th. Also, I can also say the issue gets a lot worse on my 4k resolution, it's less apparent on lower resolutions. It was working fine before. Downloaded latest NVidia drivers with no change.
 
Same issue here. The white outlines are best visible on the research screen, but are also present in the build menu. It started after the latest patch. I'm using a GTX 980 with driver version 391.01
 
Also seeing where the yellow hex border as if selected is stuck on one of my domes no matter what I do to deselect it. This is also post patch. I've seen other users post this on steam. Can a dev confirm they are aware of the new graphics issues on PC and have guesstimate eta? I love this game but these graphics issues are very distracting and interferes from enjoying the game. Thanks!
 
Same thing here. Each UI element has "white border". It is especially noticeable at Research screen - background is tiled, each caption/button has an annoying white outline on hover.

Specs:
Win7-x64
GTX660-DC2
RAM 16GB
Intel Core i7-4770K

The machine is old, yet the game runs on ultra with ~100 FPS. Changing any options did not solve the problem. I tried, trust me :D
