Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Troubleshooting Blank preview and nothing showing up

Howdy, I'd like to preface this by saying I'm still really new to using the Divinity Engine 2, in fact this is an issue I'm having after launching it for the first time lol

My issue is that the preview for textures and stuff is completely white theres not even a grid. Moreover whenever I actually go and add terrain the game window shows an outline of what the terrain area would have been but everything is also all white.

Upon launching I get an what appears to be some errors that I'm just gonna assume are the reasons why I'm having issues but I'm not quite sure how to fix them. I've copied the message log and will put it in the spoilers below.

I appreciate any help!

I believe the problem is the new patch. Remove patch8 from your data folder and should be ok. It worked for me... however, my engine is crashing now frequently because of directx error... Which I don't get while playing the game :/

I just tried that and I appear to still be getting the same errors =/

does your terrain look like this?

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....BE69EEB2401B2370D5EB4C0AD2992A138A5580D/

sure does

Have the same error here.. was just about to start my first map :(

It's probably the same issue as mentioned here. The editor developers are aware, so a fix should be coming soon. Tomorrow is a holiday in Belgium though.

ah, okay, appreciate the answer

Hi,

apologies for the delay! We updated the editor, which should fix any compatibility issues you experienced with the latest game patch

Do let us now if an issue persists.
Sincerely,
Kevin
