Nice catch. Should make this much easier for them to debug.

I can confirm that disabling multithreading solves the issue. (Not that any of us want to do that, of course.)

Since a dev has yet to post here, and it's not on their list of known issues, I think it's safe to say this is not a priority for them.

Probably triaged, however.

It's not multithreading. It's a VERY very old bug (2.6.0!!!!!!) that GGG still hasn't fully fixed regarding Corrupted/Garbled Text.

This is NOT fixable using the DirectX SDKs.

This only happens when using the large map device in your hideout. I tried moving all other decorations out of the way, moving it around, rotating it, etc. Nothing helps.

Asked my friend if he had ever encountered this, and his prompt response was "yes I have the same fucking issue." Haha.

Anyhow, in case you guys weren't aware. This pretty much kills this decoration's usefulness in hideouts.


Thank you for the report, we're aware of the issue and will have this fixed as soon as we can.
If it helps, I see this in predictive mode but not in lockstep
I'm assuming it hasn't been fixed yet? I still have this problem and it's killing my eyes
From patch notes:
"
Fixed some bugs related to the large map device variants in hideouts.

In case you didn't know, this did not fix the flickering issue.
No gain, no pain.
Yeah, two leagues this has been hurting my eyes now. Please fix. I can't go back to the old map device... not now...
I know the thread is old but the problem is still here for me, if i have multi thread on, the map on variant 2, will have the label start flickering. Anyone found a fix other than disabling multithread or pressing Z?
