ED went all 8bit on me tonight!

[Dippy]

Come out of system map and found this!

FFE3. [big grin]

FD fix the bloody picture frame hyperspace sequence, you know the art gallery of clouds and stars with frames its not a good show at all.
I still have over 2000 jumps to get home and looking at 2000 HS sequences in a art gallery is just killing it for me. [knocked out]

 

[Syax]

Oh dear, your not using a Samsung Tv by chance?

Very retro though, love it

 

[Tikigod]

That's nothing like 8-bit.

That's just the death screams of your GPU before it dies.

 

[playfuldreamer]

To echo Tikigod, it looks like a dying GPU to me.

 

[VR Morgan Grimes]

Mine has done this once since 2.1 hit too and I did indeed assume it was early signs of imminent GPU death however there was also another report of it in the bug reporting forum with a common factor of both machines running a GTX 760 with the latest drives so I am somewhat hopeful it may actually be a bug

 

[fennster]

I had exactly the same last night, but it didn't last long enough for me to get a screenshot. Just after system map too.

I just thought it was all the Onionhead I was carrying...

 

[aramil]

Warning GPU taking critical damage...... Thermal attack detected......

Or as stated above looks like a failing GPU.

 

[starman]

This is 8 bit

Ok seeing this ^^^^ 16bit then!

I have a 780ti and have never seen it before 2.1, I was on DW journey and never seen it once only tonight.

I fix computers for a living and I know a card on its knees, this is a bug but it only happened once in the 70 jumps I done tonight.

 

[Roberto]

I've experienced this a couple of times since 2.1 dropped too. I somehow doubt all our GPUs are failing in sync

It's probably Thargoids.

 

[bkrownd]

Looks like your console has become a disco dance floor. IT'S BOOGIE TIME!

 

[Flavourless]

FDevs choice of fallback textures do leave a lot to be desired.

An expert! Glad to meet you. I have a serious request: if you would please take a look at my situation.
People keep telling me everything but a solution, even telling me my PSU could be failing,
but I'm sure it's a bug in the game. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=255870

I'm using a Samsung TV 4k. I've seen a green flash once out of hundreds of jumps since 2.1. I haven't seen this like OP

I hope not, because I experienced the same thing twice in the last few hours.

 

[Straker]

This happened to me as well, and I know this is going to sound a little clichéd but for a split second I thought it was Winter. [alien]

this please.

I know they had to enlarge the tunnel for the larger ships, but I don't understand why that process had to turn it into a cosmos quilt.

 

[fransoos]

Did "enjoy" the same disco-lights also. GTX970 installed just 5 months old.

Played allot 8 bit elite, and became deadly but never elite, on a BBC master128.
Still have this computer in a viglen box

 

[RhymeRhyme]

had exactly the same yesterday. Switched back from Galaxy map and got such a strange screen. Went aways after a few seconds.

 

[Retu81]

ED supports CGA graphics. Who knew?
