Workarounds


Fullscreen display setting results in rendering issues


Alt-tabbing while using the “Fullscreen” display mode, or any other activity on Windows that shifts the focus out of the game, will cause the game to only display a small portion of the screen.
Use Alt + Enter, Ctrl + Enter, or F11 to get out of it. For now, please play using the “Borderless” display option if you are experiencing instability in fullscreen.

Vendors showing up without any UI


Some players have reported that traveling between vendors using the sidebar travel menu causes the vendor UI to disappear. If this is occurring for you, please send us both sets of save data (as detailed above)!
A reported fix for this is using the travel map instead when selecting areas to visit.
