Since updating to the new alpha 16, I have noticed a weird graphical glitch with my colonists.
I assume this is a bug, and is not normal.

Every time my colonist fires their gun, before aiming in again, they will flicker, like some sort of graphical bug...
You can see it on this video below at 6:26 .

I know this isn't exactly game breaking, but I'm not sure if this is normal or my game is bugged as it doesn't do this with alpha 15.

I've tried completely uninstalling, downloading new drivers etc. It only happens in alpha 16
Any responses would be appreciated thanks.

That looks really annoying I must say. Can you please post your log file as an attachment. I'm not sure if it will help Tynan (or A.N.Other) find the cause, but it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Details on where to find your log file can be found in the following thread:

Finally, can you please answer the following simple questions:

1 - What operating system are you using?
2 - Are you running the Steam or DRM-free version of RimWorld?
3 - Are you using any mods?
4 - Are you running the game in fullscreen or windowed mode (the video suggests fulscreen, but checking just to be sure)?

Thanks for the reply, yeah it is a bit annoying, hopefully someone can find a fix.

I completely wiped all the rim world files from my computer, reinstalled the game, and played a new save for around 20 mins. This bug still existed. I have attached the log file.

1 - I am using Windows 10
2 - Running the Steam version of Rim world
3 - No I am not using mods
4 - I am running the game in fullscreen

It's just the colonist changing his orientation for 1 tick between aiming phases, it's a tiny bug which we will fix.
