Psyker Shield Power Major Bug: Shield not see-through

1

Issue Type (Required):

Visual

Issue Description (Required):

I recently had to (yet again) delete the shader cache and ever since I’ve had this visual bug where the psyker’s energy shield becomes non-seethrough. This applies to the bubble shield and also the normal shield wall.
As you can imagine that’s quite the hindrance to playing the game.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Have my shader cache (or other’s affected, see reddit)
  2. Cast Psyker Shield or have another player cast it.
  3. As you can see you can’t see.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

No, I don’t use mods

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Upload Supporting Evidence (Optional):

Sucks it’s not playable, and is a bit annoying on the eyes (I’ve had the issue happen on the Mourningstar awhile ago with the same effect) because it looks really cool and “warp-y.”

IIRC this is an AMD issue, there were a number of Reddit posts on the issue including some possible fixes/workarounds in the comments.
this makes it really hard to play as and with psykers, anyone know a fix? : r/DarkTide (reddit.com)
Psyker shield psychadelic light show, nsfw for epilepsy, anybody have any clue what’s going on? : r/DarkTide (reddit.com)

Interestingly, the bug doesn’t happen in the Meat Grinder at all, while happening every single time in missions.

It’s definetly the game’s fault.
