    of course, when im playing a match and first time i use the "area mark" function whit its green layer, it "flows through" the marker ring and stuck (but usually there when the match starts). i have r9 380 and im playing under windows 10 x64

    - match start with a pale green layer (i choose the ligter spawn point for the better see)
    - Firefly patrol marker give it a lighter/stronger green layer
    - Hummingbird combat range marker give it a third one red layer

    Thank you, that seems like really weird corruption :/. Have you tried pressing f5 after spawn? I know that won't fix anything, but it might change the behaviour slightly (and that would be useful information for me).

    I am currently reverse engineering the shaders that produce these effects. If I give you a shader mod for testing would you be willing to test it and make a video if it looks any different?

    Hello Mikeyh,

    I have the same config than Mckenzies, so I can say you that issue still persist if I disable Ambient occlusion, Anti-aliasing or HDR.

    Thanks,

    Okay, tomorrow I will write a few shader mods to see if they will help diagnose the problem. Basically, they will be designed to break the rendering, but the way that they break will help me figure out what is really going on.

    For starters though, would you mind replacing the contents of the file:
    /pa/shaders/range_ring_instanced.fs
    with this?:
    Code:
    void main() {
        discard;
    }
    
    Make a backup of the file first of course.

    Hmmm, okay, can you do the same thing with the file:
    range_ring_resolved_instanced.fs?
    (Actually, not 100% sure of the name atm, but it contains both range and resolved in it.) I believe that should get rid of the green then as well.

    Hello Dom314,

    First, Thanks for your help.

    I tried to change both files content by your code. PA:T is launching, but when I load the system, game crashes and I've to stop Steam and reopen it in order to restart PA:T.

    Is there anything I can do?

    Thanks,
