Graphic Glitches on Windows Build...

There is nothing in the machine’s specifications that indicate a problem. The video card, albeit not the highest powered card, none-the-less supports OpenGL 4.3, so I doubt it’s a driver issue, even though keeping your drivers up-to-date is always good advice.

The problem is I don’t know how popular that model of computer is and we certainly cannot buy every model of computer to use to test on. 

Just to make sure, you’re not running in a virtual machine (a VM). Can you make a video of what’s happening? I could maybe show it to the engineers and they might have a thought.

Hi Rob, I have a couple of videos.  What is the best way of getting them to you?

You can upload them to YouTube and make them available to people with the URL.

Sorry Rob - had a weekend and a bank holiday in the UK!

Here is a video of the issue - not a great video, but hopefully you can see the issue.  The overlay menu is shown, but some of the text is missing from the button images.  All I am doing is loading an image and placing the text on top.  If you click on the button the text is shown.  Sometimes it comes back and other times it does not.

This only happens on these two machines.  The menu works fine on all tablets devices (Android and Ipad) and other Windows kit…

Great video … thanks!  Ugly issue :frowning:  Looks like your app is tickling the limits of the graphics hardware on these machines.

I’m guessing the issue doesn’t show up if you extract the button code from your project and put it in a small test project (even on those two machines).  If it does, send us the test project.

If the text objects in question are not using native.systemFont already, see if that works any better.  More desperately, try reducing the font size as that might help alleviate a low memory condition in the onboard Intel graphics (by making the textures needed to render the text smaller).

I assume there aren’t any warnings in the Corona Console when this behavior is observed.
