GGG could we please get a reply on the graphical glitches from x64 client going on for weeks now!

There are several posts with dozens of replies, screenshots, gifs and videos here on the forums. Also it gets mentioned in every patch note topic on reddit since 2.4.2 and gets posted almost daily there and gets into hot section. Some even seem to have the problem with the old Dx9 client since that patch.

Still after weeks we got not a single comment from any of the GGG staff on this issue. Atleast tell us that you know that this issue exists and you are looking into it...

Some of those threads:

GGGs only reply on the bugs so far:

Apparently, GGG can make fun of the bug but won't provide any insight as to when/if a fix will be made available.

Yeah, their priorities seem to be on point on this one. Got to make a public announcement with what chars the staff is playing first while lots of people can't play without issues at all.

On a side note: I PMed Chris Wilson via Reddit yesterday. Got no reply ofcourse but maybe he's gonna look into it, who knows.

Bump

Still nothing?

Hello?

I have a feeling GGG have their hands full right now. They've been unusually quiet, both here and reddit.

Still think the should have gone Vulkan and not DX11, still that's another discussion.

Been getting these artifact glitches too since 2.4.x and today was forced to switch back to directx 9 before I do further tests tomorrow.

Today, encountered a more serious bug when the screen suddenly turned black, music background stopped too. Had to restart comp and saw 2 red vertical strips. When entering windows, it became black screen again.

It corrupted the graphics driver and I had to go safe mode after trying to reboot normally 3 times without success. At safe mode, the screen looked corrupted. I disabled services and startup items to test a clean slate and my comp went back to normal. Next I enabled back my services and startup, it loaded normally again.

After starting POEx64 again, black screen happened again and I had to make a forced reboot. For now directx 11 is under quarantine. (Game is running in background fine under directx 9c currently while typing this post.)


Contexts
- Was playing scorching ray build
- Radeon card R9 Series card
- GPU Temp 60~68 degrees

I have written down a few of these incidences.

The one with Navali in my hideout. Caused purple artifacts to flash all over the screen, and it seemed to be at a certain distance from Navali. If you were closer to her or farther away the flashing would stop. And I made a video of that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DERjSLq-GGE When I removed Navali from my H/O, it stopped altogether.

A few other times were:

The Gate at Prisoner's Gate (where Piety escapes out of) seemed to give off these same artifacts once.

Yesterday, in Ship Graveyard I got some of the glitches and they were green and seemed to be emanating from the green sailor ghost guys in Ship Graveyard. If I killed them, the glitches would stop in that specific area. Screenshot: https://postimg.org/image/x5mdyam07/

Also had this happen in Highgate the other day. The artifacts/glitches were black and red and eventually stopped. I think it was someone's MTX causing it.
