Following a recent Steam OS update, some Elite Dangerous players have reported new graphics issues affecting gameplay visuals. One commander detailed experiencing screen tearing during rapid camera movements, which can be partially reduced by enabling VSync. More notably, the green wave effect from the genetic sampler has become invisible, only faintly highlighting specimens, impacting visual feedback during exploration. It remains unclear whether these problems stem directly from the OS update or coincide with a game patch. Players using Steam OS should be aware of these potential rendering bugs as they may affect immersion and gameplay clarity.
- Screen tearing occurs with fast camera motion, mitigated by VSync.
- Genetic sampler's green wave visual effect is missing or faint.
