ForeverDB 0.57.22: the noise and purple blocks on the world map look to be fixed
· ForeverDB
The coloured noise and purple or black blocks some players saw on the ForeverDB world map came from how we packed the addon, not from their graphics cards. ForeverDB 0.57.22 ships the map's pictures intact, and so far the map looks clean.
Since 0.57.16, some players saw coloured noise and purple or black blocks on the ForeverDB world map when zoomed out. Zooming in made it go away. Most of the reports came from players with NVIDIA cards, so we went looking at how the game loads the map's pictures, and two releases went out that didn't fix it.
It was our fault. Packing the addon changed a few bytes inside 11 of the 16 pictures the map uses from far away, and everything after those bytes came out as noise. Our own files were fine; only the copies in the download were damaged.
ForeverDB 0.57.22 packs them byte for byte, and a check now stops a damaged picture from going out again. Since the update the map has looked clean, so we think this one is fixed. Update the addon through CurseForge or Wago, or download it from our addon page.
Still seeing noise on the map after updating? Tell us in our Discord or in a comment on CurseForge, with a screenshot and the version shown in the addon's window, and we'll look at it straight away. Thanks to everyone who sent reports and screenshots: they're what found it.
