[REL] [CLIENT] Fix for green planet bug

This mod tries to fix issues with the newer AMD drivers. See here for the thread where this was reported: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/switched-to-amd-card-texture-weirdness-in-pa.69731/
The mod seems to fix it completely for some people. but only partially for others. Thanks to the people who helped me make this by testing and such! I don't actually have an affected graphics card, so this would not be possible without them.

Please post your graphics card version / driver version and a screen shot if you have issues, or even if it works; it will all be useful data to me .

This is what it looks like if you are affected:



The partial solution looks like this:


Installation:
The easiest way to install this mod is through PAMM, and searching for it by name or by author.
It's possible to install it manually, but more involved. Ask if you would prefer to do it this way.

Made an account just to say thank you, this fixed the artifacting around spawns and the green tint, which made the game basically unplayable for me. Idk if the issue is related, but I still get artifacting around the edges of the Fog of War, but the green tint is what was so annoying.

Specs:
i5-4670k at 4.4ghz
FuryX stock clocks
16gb RAM

Thank you for coming along to post this. I may try to resolve the issue with the fog of war as well, though I have much less information on that. There is one other person who also has the same issue. I will make a thread in the support section and tag you in it .

P.S. do you have any more detailed information on which graphics card you have?
I will soon be getting the AMD R9-390X 8GB, which will hopefully mean I can reproduce these issues!

Thank you so much dude !
I completely abandoned all hope to be able to play this game in a normal way, but now your mod fixes everything, I don't even have any artifacts.

My config :
Windows 8.1 64bits
i7 920
8Gb RAM
AMD Radeon R9 380x 4Gb

This actually looks cool.

GPU?

That screen is in your OP you derp.

Yes its a Sapphire FuryX, running crimson 16.1.1 currently. Stock clocks, kept cool. dont know what else to include other than that

Derperinoes.

390x is gcn 1.1, I.e. not an effected card...

Oh....okay xD. Well getting a card just to repo this wasn't really the point, but that is a little unfortunate.

It's a really good card either way

Gigabyte Fury X, green tint issue is fixed with this mod but I suffer from fog of war artefacts. Latest drivers, windows 10.

@wyao as you guys are working on some updates at the moment, thought I'd highlight this thread.

@dom314 has made some serious progress on tackling the shader bug with the latest gen AMD cards.

These changes fix the issue completely for the r9 285, 380 and 380x cards. It represents a partial fix (but still a big improvement) for Fiji based nano / fury products.

I've performed some regression testing with the couple of machines I had to hand. I can confirm this change makes no discernable difference on a gtx 970m or r9 280 (both of which were ok to start with). I've also not noticed any performance impacts.

Perhaps this is something that could be trialled in one of the upcoming pte builds to get wider testing feedback? I think a lot of AMD users would be happy about this change and may prove quite important if this issue is also prevalent in the upcoming Polaris architecture...

Thanks man!!! this mod resolved my problem. I'm playing in Linux. Thank you.

Happy to hear that bud!
