I am using an 8GB A770 with driver: 32.0.101.6325_101.6252 WHQL Certified (Latest)

Like two previous posts:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-ARC-Graphics/Sons-of-the-forest-textures-missing/td-p/1579120

I have identical issues with Sons of the Forest via Steam (see their screenshots, it is exactly the same for me---attached some of my own now). Similar to the other post, Ihave tried verifying the files and different start options on Steam such as -dx12 -dx11 -d3d11. Nothing changes.

When I originally bought Sons of the Forest 23 October 2023, it ran fine with the driver from back then (likely the newest driver at that time), with no missing textures. Based on this, the previous posts, and lack of any other people complaining with Nvidia/AMD gpus, I suspect this is some bug introduced by driver updates after 23 October 2023.

I expect this missing texture bug is reproducible just by booting the game on any PC with an ARC gpu with the latest driver and playing for 1-2 minutes. The missing textures occur regardless of any change in the graphics settings within the game. Note that water textures seem to be fine, but as soon as one is away from water, the ground textures are completely missing.

Hello Hanson1,

Thank you for sharing detailed information about the issue you're experiencing with Sons of the Forest and your Intel Arc A770 Graphics.

To further investigate, please answer the following questions:

  • Is Re-Bar enabled?
  • Have you tried reinstalling the game?

Additionally, I have noticed that the driver version you are currently using is outdated. Please download the latest driver, ⁠32.0.101.6449_101.6256 and do a ⁠Clean Installation with Display Driver Uninstaller.

If the issue persists with the new driver, kindly let me know.

I look forward to your response!

Best Regards,

Robbie R.
