Ever since the stable 1.3 release (I haven't tried the open betas; I doubt it'd be any different) I've been experiencing a very concerning bug with RimWorld as a whole.
This happens in both Vanilla + Modded. But I will only be addressing Vanilla for this topic.
This ALSO happens in both Ludeon Website versions + Steam versions. But I will only be addressing the Steam versions for this topic.
My game window will "freeze" on a single frame, but will continue to run. This happens at any random moment while playing with a colony.
I can still hear the game's audio, as well as the little audible cues from mousing over UI buttons and pressing hotkeys.
So I know the game's still working on a technical level. I just can't see what I'm doing. I have to exit the game via ALT+F4.
I've tried doing the following:
- Complete game uninstalls/reinstalls. This includes wiping leftover data from "LocalLow\Ludeon Studios" and the game's install folder.
- Ensuring my drivers are up to date. This includes re-installing them.
- Verifying my game files (on Steam). I've done this countless times.
- Simply restarting my computer. Because it doesn't hurt to try, right?
Additional spec information:
OS: Win10, x64
RAM: 8 GB
(I can supply further information upon request, I'm not sure what else might be needed.)
Of course, my log will be attached to this post.
I've also done some simple searching around online.
I've discovered a bunch of people having similar issues with various Unity-based games in the past, including with RimWorld itself.
But unfortunately I can't seem to find any concrete method of resolving this.
