Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Mouse cursor rendering is broken since release. I tried to replace shader for a cursor, but it looks like a 'mouse.fx' existed in 'Shaders.hpk' is unused. It looks like an alpha channel in cursor icons existed in 'UI.hpk' cause those issues (cursor's pixel is rendered fine only when an alpha channel has value 0 or 255, all other values between 0-255 cause issues). I use AMD Radeon 580 and the latest Mesa drivers from Padoka PPA.

Can you replicate the issue?
Simple, run a game and move a mouse.

AFAIK other Linux users are not seeing this. Which distro are you using?

I use Ubuntu 18.04 x64, however I had the same issues on 17.10 x64 in the past. My PC: Ryzen 1600X, Radeon 580, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD. I can reproduce this bug on my wife PC (her PC has similar configuration to my, just she has Radeon 470 + Ryzen 1500X instead of Radeon 580 + Ryzen 1600X). When I replaced cursor by those from Victor Vran all works fine (it looks like alpha channel works fine also for black pixels).

I cleared logs folder and started game. At now I have those logs:

We don't do official support in the Steam forums so I was not aware of that thread.

I guess this will need a code fix from Haemimont then.

Very glad you found a workaround!

Thanks for information. I'll be waiting for a patch

Hi. I just wanted to bump this issue regarding the mouse cursor.
It looks like the workaround that was distributed as a mod is problematic and this issue is still receiving some discussion on the steam page. https://steamcommunity.com/app/464920/discussions/0/1696043806561017960/?ctp=3
Not a huge issue but it would be nice if someone could apply a fix
Thank you.

I got the workaround mostly working, other than the default cursor. I'm not sure how they cache the images... it is a bit of a stump.

You can use that Start version I made, it does work, but it needs a manual install.

This should be fixed in the current live version of the game. With the Sagan update. Forgot to add it to the change notes.

Good to know

Seems we have fixed it, but did not enter in the source branch for the Sagan update. Should be fixed in the Gagaring update, which releases really soon.

@wutsdis
This is a great news!

 

[nadro-linux]

I can confirm that this issue is fixed with the latest update! I tested on 2 platforms: Ubuntu 18.04 x64 + Radeon 470 (mesa drivers from git) and Ubuntu 18.10 x64 + Radeon 580 (mesa drivers from git). Thanks a lot!
