NPC Textures not loading in opengl

[kavey78]

Version

v2.0 (b295)

Platform

Linux

Running in opengl mode in my linux setup. Looks good in vulkan, but seeing as it is marked as not fully supported and the targeting is off (usually menu buttons target high or low and so does targeting enemies with no consistency), opengl is usually the better option.

Thread 'Black texture on some characters and objects'

Jun 19, 2025

I do have some odd black textures applied on zombies and traders.
I am on manjaro linux and use glcore on xorg. Nvidia card.
There was a similar report on the steam discussions and the guy told that it doesn't occur with Vulkan.
I cannot test this solution as I am not able to get past the splash screen with vulkan.

I have this same issue. Bazzite Linux (Fedora)
Nvidia driver 575.64
NVML Version 12.575.64

Only just started v2.0, but every zombie is wearing the same mono-black outfit, and even (what I assume is) blood on some models is solid black.

As it shows in that linked thread, use vulkan for now. It's a known issue with gl core.

Vulkan has some targetting issues for the cursor for me. For example the buttons might be activated well above or below (doesn't seem to veer left and right, mostly up and down), but this seems to be similar with the targeting hitboxes. Like I feel like I am targetting a headshot and miss high and low where in glcore the cursor targetting is spot on.

Yeah, it's not ideal. Unfortunately, until they can fix the glcore issue, that is the only option. It's kind of a choice of which issue you prefer right now.
