Grapics Problems on various apps

[ttmcmurry]

I decided I would wait to see what would happen after 2017's first firmware release.  After having installed 0002.0000.0023.0113 today, I figured it was time to make a forum post.

I've been reporting graphics glitches on Microsoft's Feedback Hub and including performance monitoring and images to show what's going on.

So far what I've seen is related to games, specifically ones written for Windows 10 (UWP apps), not for Win8 apps. I believe the common thread is the graphics driver for the HP Elite x3 (Adreno 530). The problems below do not occur on any Lumia I own (520, 920, 630, 950XL).

Rocket Riot

Missing an entire graphics plane. Once in a match, all of the on-screen text is not displayed. This makes it impossible to interact with the game as all the visual cues are not shown. The behavior is the same on the phone as it is in Continuum. In the photo below, you should see scores, targets, the opponent list (the orange box), and basic controls (pause, etc).

Hero Sky

The game starts to launch, you get the splash screen & loading screen, but the game fades to white and it doesn't work, part of the time the game crashes if you let it sit there long enough. You can hear the background music play, then change as it should. But the game basically ends with a white screen. If the game doesn't crash, you have to hold a long back and then close the app.

(below you're supposed to see a fortress on a map, but all you see is white, there's one more example below this)

Crossy Road

Based on what character you're playing as, different effects are applied to the playing field. The problem I most often see is light sources not shaded properly on the playing field. In th example below, I'm playing as the undertaker (grave digger) and his character holds a lantern. That lantern lights up the space around him. However, his lantern does not light up the 1st row of any road. He will light up subsequent rows of road. Even if you pass that 1st section of road, it does not illuminate properly behind the character, and just as before, subsequent sections of road are shaded properly.

This issue isn't resolved with firmware 2.0.26. Any recent Windows updates have no effect either.
