Update: Spaghettified Characters In-Game and Menus

[peppertonipizza]

Here's my original post: Spaghettification w/ Older Hardware

I imagine my older hardware is still a part of the problem, however, I've recently discovered not every character behaves this way. Playing around in Sandbox and looking through the menus, characters are inconsistent in their spaghettification. Some characters that are spaghetti'd in the menus are also spaghetti'd in game, some are not.



Another note is that the way characters stretch changes depending on how I look around with them.



The characters affected are: Abrams, Dynamo, Lady Geist, Paradox, Wraith, and Yamato.


Wraith also has a quirk with her menu screen where her model distorts to Warden's pose.


Yamato, like Paradox, renders correctly in the menus, but not in-game.

UPDATE #2: Startup Spaghetti

I just rebooted the game again, almost every character I just mentioned rendered correctly this time. Dynamo has been the most consistent victim to this bug (which is a shame because I like playing him). Another note is that how angles affect his stretching change with game startups.

UPDATE #3: Dynamo's Haunting
What just happened seems ripped out of an old creepypasta LOL. This bug is so messed up and as I keep playing with it things get more confusing.

I decided to reboot the game again and just wait on the main menu after a friend suggested that I may need to let stuff load first. I did so, and most characters, except Dynamo, rendered normally. I first went into Sandbox and noticed something different. Dynamo was attempting to absorb the Guardians' models.

Looking back at my older screenshots with Dynamo this makes more sense. For whatever reason, his model and the Guardians are stretching to and from each other.

Eventually my friends decided to party up and we played around in Sandbox for a little bit. (Match ID: 1057347)

I pick Dynamo first and his model was immediately broken.


Dynamo continues his attempts at possessing the Guardians and now my friends as well.

Eventually, my friend noticed that his GPU was maxxing out and we decided to call it there. As I left the Sandbox, however, I was greeted by the Heroes menu like this:


Some of the heroes who weren't affected before started breaking. You'll also notice Dynamo's render behind Paradox's "render". He stayed there as I flipped through multiple hero screens, even the fixed ones.



Eventually the Dynamo in the background disappeared save for the galaxy particles that are in his head. It was still present even when I flipped to Dynamo's page.



This bug persisted all the way to the main menu outside of the Heroes menu.



So that's where I'm ending my Deadlock testing tonight. Hopefully Dynamo receives a fix in the future because I'm convinced all of this Source spaghetti has centered around him this whole time.

Yeah a friend of mine is having the same issue

This is crazy good documentation, respect!

Just a suggestion, feel free to ignore it, but it might help to post your dxdiag alongside this for the devs to reference.

I hope it gets improved, for you! That is WILD!
