Question regarding a bug I just noticed (WIN 10)

My computer upgraded to Windows 10 last night, and ever since the upgrade I have noticed a recurring bug in DD. While this bug isn't game breaking, it's definitely annoying and hinders the aesthetic of the game. The only way I can describe it is that it seems like something is blocking out small portions of images or parts of images are not loading. For instance, when my occultist had a turn I could only see a black square where the image for 'abbysal artillery' should be. When hovering over the black square, the description still shows up and you can still press it to perform the action. I also had a black spot in the inventory and on the roster screen in the hamlet. Lastly, when I reload the game it fixes itself for a while, but then after a couple of dungeons the bug always shows up again.

Has anyone experienced this and/or knows what is causing this issue? Thanks!

Do what u/Misdraevus suggested. If that doesn't help, go with the driver update as u/darkstar3333 suggests.

It definitely isn't an issue with DD on Win10 - I'm running it fine and I have Win10.

well i tried both and no dice, i'm not quite sure what to think. I'll likely try a reinstall after I beat the darkest dungeon, i'm way too close with way too pumped up a roster to cancel now

FYI - you can enable Cloud Save (or some similar name) in Steam. It will automatically upload your save files to their servers so that when you reinstall (even the whole Steam client), you can continue where you left off.

I run into this issue frequently, as well. Random sprites seem to not load properly and are replaced with a white square. As I play, more stuff begins to load improperly. Restarts usually help but they return rather quickly.

I'm on Win 7 with a shit laptop so the issue is likely my PC, but it's annoying nonetheless.

Have you tried verifying your game cache in Steam? If the sprite files are dodgy that should fix them.

will this delete my saved game ?

No, it only checks your files and if there's anything missing or corrupted it re-downloads it for you.

Reinstall your display drivers.
