[SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

SOLVED: unset LC_ALL.
LC_ALL should never be set (unless for testing purposes).

I have this issue with XCOM 2: the main menu is black, only the cursor is visible. Pressing the Enter key several times triggers the introductory videos, which work fine. Then soldiers are dropped and the map is entirely black, with coloured artifacts, as seen here:

?interpolation=lanczos-none&output-format=jpeg&output-quality=95&fit=inside|156:88&composite-to=*,*|156:88&background-color=black

One can guess some features (the red bas are the hit point bars, some shapes correspond to text area, etc. The red and orange bits are redrawn when moving around the map or using keys to rotate (Q/E). Everything seems to work fine, except for the graphics.

There are two other users with the same issue on Steam forums, they are using Ubuntu. I am using Archlinux 64-bit, Nvidia drivers 361.18. Playing around nvidia options does not help so far. Now, a Linux user on Youtube, Xpander69, has shown XCOM 2 with a machine having very close specs to mine (Archlinux 64-bit, GTX 970, driver 361.18), and it works fine! Could it be with the nvidia options? I do not use anything special. Or some installed libraries that interact with OpenGL? But then, Shadow of Mordor or Alien Isolation are working fine.

I have contacted Feral, who are looking into it, but cannot reproduce the bug so far. Has anyone an idea of what could be happening?

PS: I have tried several versions of the nvidia driver, as well as checked the game cache and even reinstalled Steam from scratch.

Hi ewaller, no problem, I understand. I found a very small version of the image. Do you mind I display it?

Yes, that is fine.   If you like you can do this 

[url=urlOfLargePicture][img]urlOfSmallPicture[/img][/url]

This will give you the small picture (Thumbnail) in-line and allow a reader to click on the Thumbnail to see the full sized image.

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

Got some feedback from Feral, who cannot reproduce on "fresh" Linux install. They say that "the issue is super rare and cannot be reproduced on the same hardware by other most other users or at Feral QA hints that something else (likely some custom setup) is causing the issue with GL not initialising."
Any idea? Other GL games like Alien Isolation work fine. I am only using ABS or AUR packages, standard kernel, and others have no problem. So could there be an nvidia library (or GL related) leftover, causing the issue? Is it possible to "clean" the system completely of proprietary driver files and reinstall them from scratch?

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

Zebulun, I'm running the game without issue, with video performance similar to that shown in the video by Xpander69. My GPU is the GTX 770 using the proprietary driver.

I presume you're launching from Steam. If you start steam via a terminal, do you get any error messages upon launching xcom2?

This is what I am trying to find out compared to people with working XCOM 2.
When I run 

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose .local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCOM\ 2/XCOM2.sh

I get:

Will return home and do it. I use KDE Plasma 5, but tested it also under openbox and LXDE.

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

Okay, aside from the different nvidia version (I have 361.28), and a few extra xorg packages on your end, our setups are pretty similar (I even have the exact same nvidia card). The game runs fine in openbox for me (bar the same performance issues everyone is seeing, and the game throwing a wobbler if it loses focus), but I still get the same errors:

So those messages are likely a red herring.

I run the game in windowed mode, at 1680x1050, to counter the focus bug I mentioned, but the game still runs in full screen if I set it to do so.

Do you have a ~/.nvidia-settings-rc? If so, post it. Same again with any custom xorg.conf files.

I also have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

WorMzy, what are your nvidia/mesa/xorg packages, and which ones have I got which you do not have?
Or could it be differences with the nvidia settings?

The only notable differences in our .nvidia-settings-rc files is that I have 

0/SyncToVBlank=1
0/OpenGLImageSettings=0

And you have an extra entry (XVideoSyncToDisplayID).

I don't have the nvidia-drm file (I'm also not sure what purpose it serves), and I don't have the Modules section in my 20-nvidia.conf. I also don't have the dpi options in my monitor section. The Modules section in 20-nvidia.conf and the nvidia-drm file seem the most suspect to me, but try the nvidia-settings changes first.

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

Thanks a lot WorMzy for all your suggestions. Unfortunately, I did not find a fix, even after readjusting nvidia-settings-rc. I also tried removing nvidia-drm file (this one belongs to nvidia-utils by the way, I am surprised you do not have it) and commenting out the 20-nvidia.conf lines you spotted. The DPI options allows my Samsung screen to override incorrect DPI, but even without them it did not work.

Last resort: I will create a new partition and do a fresh Arch install, to see if that helps.

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

So as discussed, I have used a blank hard drive to do a full reinstall of Archlinux 64, nvidia drivers 361.28, xorg 1.18, pulseaudio and LXDE desktop. Then installed Steam and imported XCOM2. Guess what? It works fine!

Please note the GL context errors seems to be still there, so they are not related to the bug.

Now it would be great to find out the key difference between the working and non-working systems, this would be so informative. Of course, the cause of the issue could be numerous, since my "non-working" system, which I have used for years, is quite different from the newly installed one. IS it a specific package? Or an update that messes up some links? Could it be related to installed fonts? They look a bit different in Steam on the new install. Or the Desktop manager?

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

Try a new account on the affected installation. If the new account is fine, then it's probably a errant configuration file in your user account. If the new user has the same issue, then it's a system-wide configuration problem, or a bad package.

I just got back to this. I am glad to see you got it working! I'll be interested to see if you can ferret out the hiccup following WorMzy's advice.

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

WorMzy, you are a genius! It works for a new user! I am quite puzzled, because I had removed Steam entirely on my non-working user account and it dod not solve the issue. So that means the problem is with another file. It is also a relief, because diagnosing it should be a lot simpler. I will let other users having the same issue know, and see if they see the same thing, and if they can help figure out the cause.

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

It is caused by setting the environment variable LC_ALL.

Remove it from the terminal you launch Steam from and the game works fine.

unset LC_ALL

Re: [SOLVED] XCOM 2 graphical bug

Hi Thomas, this is great. How come does that interfere with 3D rendering?

EDIT: probably UE3 is messed up when decimal points become a comma in some languages.
