[BUG] Half-Life: Alyx - Strange pink/purple square visible out of bounds from anywhere in the area #396

Describe the bug I often see this square through the game, out of bounds but still visible through the level geometry. Usually it's far enough away that I don't notice it, but sometimes it's right nearby beneath me, as is shown in the screenshot. As I watched the square, its pattern changed on an interval.

System Information (please complete the following information):

Distribution: Arch Linux
SteamVR version: 1.15.2
Steam client version: Oct 8 2020
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes

Possibly a corrupt texture on the horizontal plane at the map origin, visible after a level transition.

I also often see this king of artifact. As the original poster said, it is usually far away. It happens in the classic story mode but also in some custom maps.

I am using Mesa too : Pilote : X.Org AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (NAVI10, DRM 3.38.0, 5.8.11-1-MANJARO, LLVM 10.0.1) Version du pilote : 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 20.1.8

Hello @yaomtc, @Fl0ux, have either of you seen this issue since the commentary update?

tdjb commented 3 years ago

I've seen the mouse pointer occasionally, and after some resets of SteamVR it turned into that pink, messy square.

This was before and after the commentary update, it may be not even related to Alyx in particular? But I did not test to confirm that.

yaomtc commented 3 years ago

I just tested loading saves from several different chapters, and was unable to reproduce the issue anymore.

Hello @tdjb, your observation doesn't sound related to the issue reported here. Feel free to open a separate issue report. In general, there shouldn't be a mouse cursor visible in the HMD at any time, unless the system is configured to have an extended desktop on the HMD and you intentionally put the cursor onto that display.

Thanks for retesting @yaomtc, closing.
