Last week we launched a significant update to our engine in preparation to support the upcoming Player Avatar launch on June 8th, as part of this update our team has been monitoring reports of graphical issues and we have seen three particular areas of issues crop up.
AMD Graphic Cards on the latest set of drivers have been having rendering issues causing things like missing textures/blank areas. This issue arose in the last few weeks with the launch of the latest AMD drivers and our update last Monday has just brought this into frame for more players.
This issue is currently resolved by rolling back your graphic drivers to a more stable previous patch.
We are currently investigating this from our side to reduce future complications but whenever there is a new set of graphic drivers there is always the potential for a mismatch.
We have also recieved reports from MAC OS users of similar missing texture and graphical issues occurring. Our team has been diving into these reports all week and the common element is the use of Intel integrated GPU and the team is working on a fix
Other users have reported stuttering or framerates hitching especially when transitioning to regions such as going from the overworld to a cave system and this is further noticeable for users who hide the loading screens. We currently investigating a solution to this issue but there is not a current ETA on a release.
We will be sharing June's Month Ahead later today be on the lookout for that!
We are running a Quarterly Survey currently! You can find it in the lobby, head on over when you next login and help us shape the future of RuneScape!
