Explanation
White squares instead of module previews when hovering operators.
You know about this – was reported somewhere on Steam already, but without exact reproduction, afaik.
Special details I can provide from my experience:
– it involves using freighters. For me it's 100% reproducible: the very moment one of details for blue cores, yellow cores, or yellow robots****s a port of cargo terminal – bug activates.
– it does NOT reset when restarting game. Poisons savefile forever.
– which operators exactly are to be corrupted seems to be not quite random: in my reproduction scenario, sending same details to freighter always breaks same exact operators on the map.
– corruption spreads over time, more and more operators become broken.
See the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1igoR2JY_oPhswUpTWkchsSe0oa4RzZEZ/view?usp=sharing
Savefile attached too.
Log file attached too. Grep shows clusters of suspicious entries:
$ grep -c "Shape Renderer Pool has been incremented" Player.log
26
$ grep -c "Render Texture must have a depth buffer" Player.log
514
$ grep -c "Material count in the shared material list is higher than sub mesh count" Player.log
1354
Based, on that, hypothesis: preview RTs allocated lazily (when the pool grows) are created without a depth attachment and render as blank/white. Cargo terminals spike concurrent preview demand past the pre-warmed pool size, triggering extra allocations. Broken renderers stay in the pool and are reused – the bug progressively "spreads" to more operators.
Technically, game doesn't crash, of course, but playing like this is not an option at all. So I classify it as game-breaking.
Hope this will help you to tame this gremlin fast.
