I posted the same problem a few pages ago, and while I wasn't trying to blame the filter, I was hoping something in the filter could fix it. If you unload the filter, all items show up fine. But I don't think a specific font or setting has been identified as the component having problems.

I believe a few pages back I saw what looked like a kerning issue with one guy's font. It showed the text squashed together oddly, the letters almost trying to over / underlap each other. Also, with the black text boxes, this seems to point to something similar dealing with text rendering on hardware. Obviously, neversink's system doesn't have the issue, so this issue comes about from different, possibly older, systems. Since it seems to deal with a certain subset of computers running the filter, my experience points to hardware / driver issues moreso than programming issues with poe itself. I don't have issues either with poe using neversink's filter(I loaded it just to test this situation), but again, I'm using a newer system with a relatvely up-to-date graphics card (gtx 970).

We can see here that this is not an issue specific to path of exile:

http://www.cocos2d-x.org/issues/3669

Since I'm not sure what kind of framework GGG uses for the UI layer, I'm not sure exactly how they're handling text rendering. If it's openGL, then the situation could get into how GGG handles the rendering - what libraries they might have created or use to handle.

"Since there is no support for any text capabilities within OpenGL it is up to us to define a system for rendering text to the screen. Since there are no graphical primitives for text characters, we have to get creative. Some example techniques are: drawing letter shapes via GL_LINES, create 3D meshes of letters or render character textures to 2D quads in a 3D environment."

Since we know for sure it's not an issue on all systems, that seems to point to an old driver and older hardware issue. I would say to those having the issues with text overlay, or black box text issue, leave a note about your hardware. That would help me research from that angle.

Also, for those with these issues, please contact neversink or myself by sending a PM, and we can create a few tests with filter font text size adjustments to test the potential for font size kerning issues. At this point, I believe the issue manifests from the odd font sizes I've seen in neversink's filter. But, this is just off the top of my head, and we won't know until we can work with people having the issue to validate my hypothesis.

Addendum - I sent in to GGG regarding this issue with my hypothesis and a solution they could implement to resolve.

How come i never had any problems until one of the latest patches then? I haven't changed my hardware or drivers.

I am using an amd r9 270x graphics card if that is of interest.

Any solution for the time being?
Thanks.

Any filter should work fine for animated weapon as long as you hold down the pickup key if you have that set in the options > ui section. With filters, you press the same key (alt) to view other items hidden on the ground (normal rarity items and magic unless they filter has specific parts defined regarding).

So, to understand your question fully, do you need a filter that shows the normal / magic base items that are closer to your character level?

There's a unique armor that automatically causes all magic items to drop identified.(http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cloak_of_Tawm%27r_Isley) You might enjoy that armor to help with animated weapon.

Now, to the big part here. I'll create a filter for animated weapon here shortly (within an hour or two because I need to finish my daily reading) for you that will show normal rarity items close to the level of the monsters that dropped them, which will ensure you get the most out of playing animated weapon. If you decide to use the Cload of Tawm'r Isley, I'll have a block setup that you can un-comment and will work just like the normal magic items.

I'll update this post as soon as I finish that up.

hi i started to play a animated weapons char in phc and feel really frustrated trying to look through all the items and animate the ones that i need so i tried to look for a lootfilter for it accidently saw that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcgx6Ghkp50 phox was playing an animated weapon bulid and he said that his loot filter is from neversink but im unable to find it here....
*edit
2.0 -- cleaned the code up! Added better entries for maraketh weapons, adjusted highlighting for chance and crafting bases a bit, added filtration support, optimized the filter all around. Added support for animate weapon builds. Can be enabled on line 1400. Split the filter into 4 version: regular, light, zero and zero-x. Ready for the 2.0 release!
i cant not enable the support as line 1400 isnt anything related

If you'd like to try out the filter I designed for Animate Weapon:
Hellcat5's Not So Ugly Loot Filter - Animate Weapon Edition

If you want to add the code necessary for this to your favorite filter:

Spoiler

#==================================================
# modify this section to change which item classes
# you see drop for animated weapon
#==================================================
#Show animate weapon drops - melee (mint green)
Show
Class Dagger Claw Sword Axe Mace Staves Sceptres
# comment below line if you're using Cloak of Tawm'r Isley
Rarity < Magic
# uncomment below line if you're using Cloak of Tawm'r Isley
# Rarity < Rare
# mint green
SetBackgroundColor 128 255 191
SetBorderColor 128 255 191
SetTextColor 0 0 0


#Show animate weapon drops - ranged (for Spirit Guards Unique Jewel) (mint green)
# NOTE: uncomment only the lines starting with Show Class Rarity SetbackgroundColor SetBorderColor SetTextColor
# the other lines are only comments related the the lines below them
#Show
# Class Dagger Wand Bow
# comment below line if you're using Cloak of Tawm'r Isley
# Rarity < Magic
# uncomment below line if you're using Cloak of Tawm'r Isley
# Rarity < Rare
# mint green
# SetBackgroundColor 128 255 191
# SetBorderColor 128 255 191
# SetTextColor 0 0 0

When adding the code for neversink's full version filter, add toward the bottom of the filter in the section titled:

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Section: OMEGA # ADDITIONAL RULES - ADD YOUR OWN RULES THAT WON'T OVERRIDE THE OTHER RULES
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

otherwise you will cause the precedence to over-ride other elements of nerversink's filter.

In neversink's full version filter, you can activate his Animate weapon section by un-commenting the necessary sections around line 201 and also around line 2777.

In my code and in my filter for Animate Weapon, I've added in features related to Unique items designed for the Animate Weapon skill gem.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like any changes.
