My colonists are all invisible. Gear and animals also go invi.
I removed all the mods including Royalty and Ideology but its still like this
I have no idea what to do.

I've been reading the forums saying that the problem is on the hardrive? I am pretty sure I updated my hardrive last week but I am currently downloading a new update just to be sure

Anyone who can help me?

Hi,
at first write down 1000 times "I need to read sticky/pinned/bold topics on top of a forum first, before i post something" in this case "How to report a bug".
It could be a bad installtion or that the videocard isn't supported by the unity engine anymore.
Enable developer mode at the option, open the log window with the top left icon.
When you see some red text it is a bad installation. Manual delete the installation folder, and let it repair/reinstall again.

No error, it could be a videocard problem.
When you got 2 videocard, tell Rimworld to use the other card.
Update the driver.
When you use steam, install the 1.2 version (different unity vesion)  and check if you see the pawns.
But basicly nothing we can fix.

Thankyou very much, sir. It works

However, just to ask, if I added a videocard to my PC, I can play 1.3 then?
I am currently using Intel G41 Express Chipset with 6GB RAM

If I bought a videocard, 1.3 can be playable, right?

When the issue is the videocard yes.
Maybe it is a driver issue, you can try to report the issue to Intel support.
There was an issue with intel drivers at 1.2 with wrong background colours that appear after some driver update. People needed to use older driver until some newer driver fixed the issue.

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately with keeping RimWorld up to date with Unity builds, it does unfortunately cause some older or less common graphics cards to fall by the wayside, it is unavoidable with the version updates.  Getting a new graphics card should solve the issue, or playing in 1.2.
