Big black areas in my game.

Dowscar · 2011-11-09 16:55:27 UTC

(Sorry for the undescriptive title)
I’ve noticed, as of late, big patches of black in the game. It seems to mostly be when I’m not looking at an area. Shortly after turning to look at one of these “patches”, the textures pop in. But turning around screws it up again. Making it pretty tough to play. Included a few screenshots.

There are a few possibilities:

Hardware
The hardware is incompatible with the game. In some cases this can prevent the game from running, in others it can slow down or delay important processes in the game. Please confirm your system specs by posting a DxDiag (see my signature).

Drivers
Lots of bad stuff can happen if your graphics drivers aren’t up to date. See my signature on how to update them.

Corrupt Installation/Update
Sometimes files transferred during installation or updates are incomplete or corrupt. This can be remedied by verifying the integrity of your files on Steam (see below).

Verify integrity of game cache

[ol]
[li]Open your Steam Games Library[/li][li]Right-click on Brink and select Properties[/li][li]Click on the Local Files tab and select Verify integrity of game cache[/li][li]Boot Brink and report back with the results[/li][/ol]

Well, I haven’t changed my hardware since getting the game, but this problem only started up recently, and I already updated my drivers with no luck. I also tried verifying the integrity of the game cache multiple times.

Crispy · 2011-11-10 16:42:00 UTC

Some quick questions:

When did you get the game?
When was the last time you played it without this issue?
When was the first time you played it with this issue?

I’ll still need to see your DxDiag.

Dowscar · 2011-11-10 16:46:17 UTC

I got it on release.
Last time I played it without this issue was probably about a month back. I’d say the issue started about two weeks ago.
DxDiag ishere

Crispy · 2011-11-10 17:05:53 UTC

There haven’t been any updates to the game files in the period you describe, so this is probably a hardware or driver issue.

Driver Date/Size: 9/8/2011 12:32:58, 862720 bytes

This seems to indicate you are not running the latest drivers. They seem to be either 11.8 or 11.9 (depending on your Windows timezone settings). It’s worth investigating why you are led to believe your drivers are up to date when they appear to be 1 or 2 versions behind. If your drivers haven’t updated correctly this could cause issues such as this one. Try performing a full uninstall and full reinstall of your AMD drivers (again, the official info from AMD on how to do this is in my signature).

Dowscar · 2011-11-10 18:09:19 UTC

Alright, I updated to the latest ones, but the game still isn’t working properly.

Crispy · 2011-11-11 13:54:16 UTC

What date does your DxDiag now read for your drivers? (did your drivers update correctly?)

Dowscar · 2011-11-11 14:59:06 UTC

Driver Date/Size: 10/12/2011 15:13:00, 867328 bytes

Installed the latest ones on their website after uninstalling the ones I had.

Crytiqal · 2011-11-14 13:17:26 UTC

Post a new Dxdiag so Crispy can see if they installed correctly

Dowscar · 2011-11-14 14:28:33 UTC

Alright, new dxdiag here

Crispy · 2011-11-14 19:11:23 UTC

Driver Date/Size: 10/12/2011 15:13:00, 867328 bytes
Yup, your drivers are now more current.

I’ll look into why this is happening to you, but as the game files haven’t changed in that period I’m curious as to the cause.

Crispy · 2011-11-21 11:36:33 UTC

Still looking into this. In the meantime I would recommend trying the following two steps to help rule out some form of data corruption:

Regenerate Game Media

[ol]
[li]If one exists, delete the generated folder from [b]…\Users#user#\AppData\Local\splash damage\brink\base[/b].
[/li][li]Boot Brink from Steam and report back with the results
[/li][/ol]

This has resolved similar graphical glitches in the past.

Delete local game content

[ol]
[li]Open your Steam Games Library
[/li][li]Right-click on Brink and select Properties
[/li][li]Click on the Local Files tab and select Delete local game content
[/li][li]Boot Brink and report back with the results
[/li][/ol]

In some cases this has resolved similar issues. Please bear in mind that you’ll have to redownload the game again for this action. Your Save Files will remain intact (Customization preferences and Campaign/unlock progress).

Dowscar · 2011-11-22 00:11:05 UTC

I don’t seem to have a Splash Damage folder in the Local folder, which I’m assuming is a bad thing. I’ll be sure to try the other solution, though.

Dowscar · 2011-11-22 08:04:24 UTC

Alright, I deleted the local data and reinstalled, but I still have the problem.

Crispy · 2011-11-25 11:45:06 UTC

[QUOTE=Dowscar;385942]I don’t seem to have a Splash Damage folder in the Local folder, which I’m assuming is a bad thing.[/QUOTE]No, I think we must have moved it to non-user storage at some stage. I was making sure there wasn’t a conflict with old data being present.

[QUOTE=Dowscar;385972]Alright, I deleted the local data and reinstalled, but I still have the problem.[/QUOTE]Okay, I’m going to ask you to produce a log file that may provide more clues. Here’s how to do it:

[ol]
[li]Go into your Steam Library, and right-click on Brink
[/li][li]Click ‘Properties’
[/li][li]Click ‘Set launch options…’
[/li][li]Paste the following: +set logFileName “OcclusionPortals_$Y.$M.$D_$h.$m.$s.log” +set logfile 2
[/li][li]Run Brink from Steam and quit as soon as you have produced the issue.
[/li][li]Retrieve the logfile:
[/li][LIST=1]
[li]Go to …\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata#steamid#\22350\local\base
[/li][li]Find the file called OcclusionPortals_xxxx.log
[/li][li]Paste the contents of the log file within CODE tags
[/li][/ol]
[/LIST]

Has there been any luck in reproducing the issue? I’d love to be able to play Brink again.

Crispy · 2012-01-05 14:18:31 UTC

This is a pretty rare occurrence that we’ve not been able to reproduce first hand. Based on the behaviour, it’s possible that enabling V-sync could work around the issue.

Dowscar · 2012-01-06 10:42:50 UTC

I’ve actually been playing with V-sync on since the start. Tried disabling, and that didn’t help either.
