Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Hello everyone,

I have recently run into a weird problem that i have never heard of before. Sometimes in the middle of a game or even in the deck editor, i get a weird graphic bug. basically it feels like a second window of xmage following my mouse around the screen. Its very weird and the only fix is to restart the client altogether. Which is obviously annoying since i dont actually want to quit (reconnecting doesnt work).

Has anyone else ever encountered this? Or knows a fix to it or something ?

Do these look like the issue you are describing?

https://github.com/magefree/mage/issues/2166

and

https://github.com/magefree/mage/issues/1514

There's discussion in both of those on trying to find the cause of the issue affecting some people and possible resolutions. See if something helps within there. We have not been able to determine what is causing this issue or what resolves it for everyone.

Yes that is exactly what it looks like. Thanks. Lets see what we can do about that.

I noticed that many of the people posting in there have the same 1920x1080 resolution im using as well. But since it happened with others as well it doesnt seem to be related at all.

Before it used to happen only every couple of days. But now it happens pretty much every game. I cant play tourneys anymore. This is pretty much gamebreaking.

Set your Xmage Home to "http://xmage.de/xmage1.4.15v1J8" in the Launcher settings to update Java and check if it helps you to run xmage with Java 8. Please report if you get the same errors or if it does resolve the problem.

Thanks for the help,lets see if that helps.


update: Nope it still happens. the only way that sometimes works, is to kill the client with task manager so i can restart the game without quitting, but that doesnt always work.

^^ yup same here been going on for a while a few updates ago broke that. I am telling you its double buffering or something related to the way the drawing is being done. I run at 720p becasue 1080 is just too small, no backgrounds or anything all default

OK, so i tried to fix it by reverting to an older java version that my xmage buddy uses.....

now java just stops working every couple minutes. the console gives me this :

What the hell is happening ?

Fun fact, it seems to have stopped now.

Since XMage 1.4.16v0 XMage is no longer compiled with Java 7 compatibility.
Maybe that's the difference.

False alarm, just happened again.

Still having that. Any news ?

It seems to happen more often or very often whenever something is revealed. Those little popup thingies. Could that be the problem ?

Soooo....is there gonna be any development at all ? Is there anything i can do to help analize it ?

Anyone ?

The problem is within the java/graphic card/graphic card driver combination.

Also other java applications have that problem so it's not a problem we can corretly solve within the xmage code.
As long as the developers don't have a system the problem happens, it's also not easy to find/implement a workaround by not using the causing function(s) (if possible at all).

So you can try to use another graphic card (maybe on borad) or switch off some features of the graphic card to check if that changes the behaviour.
