Just upgraded gpu, now I get flashing green lines in game

The bug is not server side, the bug is a driver issue, as has been explained previously.

Similar bugs have happened since the release of the game, however with evolving hardware and driver implementations it's going to be more and more common for rendering issues to occur.

According to you, everyone with a 5000 series Nvidia card must be experiencing this problem, right?
So, does that mean everyone with a new Nvidia card has to play this game seeing these green lines?

No, according to you, everyone with a 5000 (and possibly a 4000) series card would have this same experience, as it would be a server issue. Because it is a driver issue, it is different person to person.

When the issue is a driver issue the problem can be caused by the nVidia/AMD driver, the specific firmware specific to a manufacturer for a specific GPU, an issue with a specific model of GPU or even an interaction issue between different hardware (eg CPU bottlenecking your GPU, causing the issue). Outside of major titles or larger companies who have direct access to nVidia/AMD for driver validation or software support, there is often very little that can be done.

DP was released in 2012, with a graphic/rendering system specifically designed for Windows Vista/Windows 7; these issues are going to become more and more common because hardware is vastly different compared to then.

I have tried to reproduce this on 4 different cards (4060 Ti, 4080, 5060 Ti and 5090) across different manufacturers (ASUS, Gigabyte, Zotac and Founder edition cards). So far I have not been able to reproduce the issue, and will need to see if there is something in common with people who have made the reports.

You're right, I'm not saying anything against that.
But we've entered a period where system requirements have increased. Gamers and users are now building high-end systems.
So, I'm basically asking, Do those Who want to play this game now have to live with this green bug ?
And since Nvidia isn't going to release a special driver for Dragon's Prophet anymore, I guess the answer is yes then ..

You can try different drivers and see if that changes anything. As long as Seiichi isn't able to reproduce the problem on their end. They won't be able to do anything about it. You could also try running it in compatibility mode and see if that changes anything. Try around and see what sticks. If something sticks for you, post what did.

I was hoping that those who see this post and own a 5000 series graphics card might be able to use it without problems and also mention their current driver version. However, it seems that either no one using the newer Nvidia cards is playing this game, or everyone is happy with this bug.

I have a 5060 TI, I tried numerous driver versions, every setting I could think of, every compatibility mode, every "fix" I could find online. Nothing worked.

DP is not the only game that doesn't play on the 50 series. There are many older 32 bit (and lower bit games) that have one issue or another because Nvidia dropped support for them with the 50 series. Nvidia seems to think people only play 64 bit games in 4k now. Some really popular lower bit games they took the time to make sure worked, but sadly, DP has a very small following, and is not important to Nvidia.

I researched this issue for months after I got my 50 series, and am lucky enough that I was able to just add my 3060 back in. A friend of mine got a new rig and gave his old one to his nephew. In order to play again, he had to pick up a clearance laptop. Luckily DP will play on just about any older hardware.

Not everyone with a 50 series has this bug; I have a system with a 5060 Ti, and another with a 5090 and neither has the issue for example.

That was also with a new DP install, with Driver 591.59 but I will update to the latest version and see if I can reproduce.

As I said, the issue is actually very complex because it is not a simple issue that can be reproduce. I will also make a ticket category for submitting DXDiag exports to see if we can find some common point for the issue, but it's unlikely to find a singular point of failure from similar issues in the past.

Rendering Issues

This category is specifically for nVidia or AMD rendering issues (green lines, green fog, hue shifting or artifacting). Type 'dxdiag' into Windows Search, click dxdiag and then click 'Save All Information'. Upload the DxDiag.txt to the ticket as well as a screenshot.

There are instructions for how to run DxDiag and how to save a diagnostic file. Upload the file and a screenshot so that I can compare things with other reports.

So I upgraded to a new pc and got the same problem with the 5070ti. I'm not entirely sure cuz the description when I bought the pc didn't mention it but this new rig's got a power saving graphics option. I swapped over from the "let my pc decide" option to the power saving option and the green lines have so far disappeared. Idk if anybody else has what I think is integrated graphics (I know very little bout computers lol) and a dedicated gpu but it might be worth looking into especially if a secondary gpu isn't available or easily attainable. Bring up ur start menu and search for graphics settings. You can search for the games .exe files where it says browse or add app. Then just use the drop down menu to swap ur graphics over if another is available. Maybe this'll help somebody. Maybe not but I figured I'd share.

Interesting. I will look into it. You appear to have a Radeon card, not an Nvidia card, so drivers and everything are different, but running my 5060 and my 3060 together is causing issues for other games, so I am still looking for a solution to running DP with only the 5060.

Edit: Power saving mode didn't work for me

 

[WhyteWulfe]

I reckon I should've shown what the down menu says. I googled a bit and the ryzen 7 cpu does have integrated graphics which would be radeon. The actual big hulking gpu that takes up most of the pc case is the 5070ti tho. It runs everything else. I'm sad to hear it didn't work for you tho but maybe it will for somebody else. Are you able to dedicated ur 5060 solely for the other games u play? Maybe then it won't read the 3060. Like how I told the graphics settings to use power saving for dp only? U might have to do it for every game but if it works...

I don't have integrated graphics on my motherboard, so tried putting my 5060 in power saving, and running the game on it. Still had green lines.

 

[Seiichi]

I found a system that I have that can reproduce the issue (3 that don't, 1 that does), so figured I'd try to testing.

The power saving may or may not work, because it is just offloading your graphic rendering to an onboard GPU; that said it is not an actual solution, but it does show it is specifically nVidia GPU (for this specific issue).

I am wondering if the issue is specific to nVidia GPU when using a AMD CPU, as so far that has been the case for the examples I have seen.

I need people to actually submit their system specs to narrow things down, as so far no one has submitted a single ticket regarding the issue (even when they were having tantrums about it).

I will submit my specs. Thank you very much for your time on this, it is very much appreciated.
