Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Still getting black inventory and skill icons

Ever since a patch or two ago my inventory icons turn black when I hover my mouse over them, I also get black icons when looking at my skills in the skill book.

Specs:

i5 3570k
GTX 770 SLI 4 gb driver version 334.89
8gb ram
Windows 8 64 bit
2560x1440 resolution

Try lowering your game resolution. I have this problem when playing at my monitor's native resolution of 2560x1600, but it is fine at 1920x1200 (I have to play at the lower resolution, anyway, since I get an occasional stutter when the characters are running if I play at the max resolution).

Please email supportdos@larian.com, with a description of the problem and the report.zip file generated by the D:OS support tool. It is a known issue, but additional system information may be useful.

Thanks, you were right - lowering my resolution fixed it. I've emailed Larian with that zip file as you suggested.

Is there any particular reason as to why there is only one 16:9 resolution in the game? I was trying to lower it like Raze suggested, because I have the same problem with black icons on my native 2560x1440 resolution, but it seems that it's the only one in there with that aspect ratio. Also, there are too few of them, imho.

I have the same issue, also on 2560x1440

The Journal Button on the minimap shows as a black square as well.

It should list other 16:9 resolutions... You can try manually changing the resolutions to 2048x1152, or something (see below).

Alternately, if you temporarily lower your desktop resolution, it may get lower 16:9 resolutions to show up in the game options (at least the new desktop resolution), after which you can restore your original desktop resolution.


Please email supportdos@larian.com, with a description of the problem and the report.zip file generated by the D:OS support tool. The zip will include your saves (which aren't really necessary in this case, so you could delete them to reduce the file size) as well as the game settings and system specs, so would hopefully help them improve the resolution detection / filtering, as well as the bug with the black icons at max resolution.



You can edit the graphicSettings.lsx file (in the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin' folder) in Wordpad, or other text editor, to manually change the resolution. Search for the section:

</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenHeight" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="1600" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenWidth" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="2560" type="4" />
</node>

I'm getting the exact same issue at 2560x1600. Icons disappear on mouseover.

Icons are still broken at 2560x1440 but they work properly at 2048x1536 and below.

I got a reply from the support today, the issue should be fixed in the next major update.
