[TM2] Art / Hud : Broken update (transparency problems ?)

[Olip96]

Hi.

Trackmania 2 : Canyon was just updated in Steam about an hour ago, and I realized that something was wrong.

Before : http://puu.sh/3pMnQ.jpg
After : http://puu.sh/3tthZ.jpg

It seems to affect anything that has transparency in it, but I am not sure. Look at the bushes, the trees in the back, and obviously the HUD.

My GPU is Intel HD Graphics 4600 (Core i7 4770K), and as seen of the first screen it used to work fine. I have not changed any settings in the game.

What's going on ? I hope this kind of bug/glitch won't affect Trackmania 2 : Valley as well...

Thanks.

I have a similar problem with HUD text in TM2 Stadium after the update a few minutes ago. Turning off anti-aliasing fixes the issue, so maybe it's related to that.

I've played a bit with antialiasing. There is none by default (and it gives what is on the screen).

When I put it on 2x, it completely fixes the HUD and text (they look clean again).
But when I make it 4x or higher, text becomes crappy again ?

I weren't able to fix the bushes and stuff with antialiasing though. And problem is, if I put AA on, even only 2x, there is huge FPS drops... :/

Thanks for your post, glad that I am not the only one to experience this.

Indeed there is an issue with all UI/text transparency and MSAA (only Fast/VeryFast shading quality, text is shrink and layers are more transparent).
This bug will be fixed with next exe update (should come soon).
You can workaround that by disabling MSAA like drammyw0w said.
Sorry for that.

Ok, thanks for the heads-up LuckyBoy. Hopefully it can be fixed soon.

Many thanks LuckyBoy, I hope it will fix the problem.
