Asphalt legends unite Graphics Discoloration issues

[7adhu_1]

I installed Asphalt Legends United game today from 'Microsoft store'. But then I noticed an issue. Whenever I joined a race, a weird discoloration issue will occur. It starts occuring from the second race after game launch. That is, after launching the game, if we join a race, the issue will not occur. But if we join any other race after that, it starts happening.
My Laptop Specs:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1005G1 CPU @ 1.20GHz, 1201 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
GPU:  INTEL R UHD GRAPHICS
RAM: 16GB

here is my pc scan of intel system support utility

Hello @7adhu_1 ,

Thank you for reaching out to our community. To help us investigate the issue and provide assistance, please share the following details with me.

1. When did this issue first occur, and has it happened before?
2. What steps have you taken to troubleshoot this issue so far?
3. Have there been any recent software or hardware changes made to your system?
4. Have you updated the graphics driver to the latest version? According to the SSU log report, you are using an outdated driver version 27.20.100.9664, while the current version is 31.0.101.2135.
5. Have you checked for any available Windows updates or BIOS updates from your system manufacturer, HP?

Once I have this information, we can start from there.

Looking forward to your response.

1, it occured i dont know the exact date but on late feb to march when i redownloaded the game, i never had any of these problems before the game changed its name to "asphalt legends unite"

2, i met a guy with the same problem and he was tryna fix it but his thread closed because he didnt respond, i tried to use vulkan mode on steam it worked for a while then after the recent update it stopped working and i had the same problem

3, no there is no hardware or software change (im using a custom OS but i didnt have any problems with it before)

4, No i havent i will update after posting this comment (EDIT: i have updated my graphics card and it have seemed to reduce the graphic discoloration)

5, yes its all up to date i dont know how do i update bios but i will figure it out (bios and updates are up to date)

Hello @7adhu_1 ,

Thank you for the information. To address the BIOS update, I recommend contacting your motherboard manufacturer for guidance. They can provide specific instructions tailored to your model. Please update me once you've completed all the recommended steps. If the issue persists, I suggest trying to load the default settings in your BIOS.

Once you've done that, report back to me, and I'll be happy to assist you further.

Looking forward to your response.

Hello @7adhu_1 ,

To help us better understand and address the issue you're experiencing, could you please share a screenshot of your game settings? This will be helpful in identifying any potential configuration-related problems.

Additionally, could we try to isolate the issue by using an external monitor? Please check and observe if the issue also occurs when using an external display. This will help us determine if the problem is related to your current monitor setup.

Have you had a chance to reach out to the game developer? Their insights could be invaluable in pinpointing the exact issue, and collaborating with them might provide us with additional troubleshooting options.

Lastly, are there any overheating issues observed during gameplay? Overheating can sometimes lead to performance problems, and identifying this early can help us find a solution more efficiently.

Thank you for your cooperation, and I look forward to your response.

here is the in game settings 

i do not own an external monitor but i will try using my old tv screen with hdmi connection

i dont know how to contact them there is lots of emails and stuff from gameloft

i dont seem to notice any kind of overheating issues i use a laptop cooler

[RandyT_Intel]

Hello @7adhu_1 ,

It seems that updating the BIOS and graphics driver has reduced the issue, but it hasn't completely eliminated the discoloration. Please check if the issue is also visible on an external monitor. In my personal opinion, it would be beneficial to contact the game developer, as this issue only started after the game was changed or updated. Reach out to them and let me know their insights, as this might not be a driver-related problem.

This will help us determine whether the problem is related to the game itself or the driver. Our goal is to identify the root cause and find an effective solution for you.

Please rest assured that we are prioritizing your case and will keep you updated on our progress. If you have any additional information or observations that might assist us in our investigation, please feel free to share them.

Hello @7adhu_1,

It seems that your graphics hardware may be outdated, and the current driver might not fully support the latest game updates. This could be contributing to the discoloration issue you're seeing. Since the problem starts after the first race, it might be triggered by a specific game action or transition.

I recommend contacting your OEM for further assistance or considering an upgrade to your system's graphics hardware if the issue persists. Additionally, as mentioned in the article "Graphics Driver Support Update for 10th Generation and Older Intel Processor Graphics,," please note that graphics issues on iGPUs from the 10th generation or older will not be addressed unless they require a critical fix.

Rest assured, we are continuing to investigate this matter and will keep you updated with any new information we find.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello @7adhu_1,

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding the performance issues you've been experiencing while running the game on your current setup.

Our tests indicate that the graphical glitches and discoloration you are encountering may be related to the 10th generation hardware. When tested on an 11th generation system, these issues did not occur. According to the article "Graphics Driver Support Update for 10th Generation and Older Intel Processor Graphics" graphics issues on integrated GPUs from the 10th generation or older will not be addressed unless they are critical or involve security vulnerabilities.

For these types of issues, we recommend reaching out to the game developer for further assistance. Unfortunately, there is limited support we can provide at this time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.

I will be closing this inquiry. If you require further assistance, please submit a new question, as this thread will no longer be monitored.

I finally found a solution for this!!! On steam, launch asphalt with the launch parameters:
--backend vulkan

It seems to have solved the issue for me with this chipset, leading me to believe dx3d12 and the GPU drivers causes this issue.

Hi, I appreciate the information . I'm the original poster of this thread, but I'm using a new account, lol. I tried playing Asphalt 9 with something similar to what you mentioned, typing "--start vulkan" or something similar in my Steam launch options, but the problem remained.

[halfafk]

Hello, nice knowing you still have access here. I see you have also made an account to reply, which I thank you for. If you're still wanting to play the now called "Asphalt Legends Unite" I hope the information can help. Otherwise if you're no longer playing the game that is fine too. I just want to share further my findings. Around December 2023, Gameloft removed OpenGL and DirectX11 in favor of DX12. Around the same time you decided to return to play the game again (like me). The window title for the game displays either "DX3D12" or "VULKAN", along with the title. You can check it to see if the parameter you entered was successful. Because their game is multiplatform, we are still blessed to have a renderer other than DirectX. The parameter I have sent seems to be specific to Asphalt, since I was also not able to use other parameters to get it to run vulkan. The steam launch parameter`--backend vulkan` worked for me while others fell back to DX12. I have quite literally reinstalled my OS and used other OSes a few times just for this game which makes me think I am not okay. But steam's compat layer did mitigate the discoloration, however I find it freezing after a couple of minutes. I do appreciate you still being active, wish you well

[_YKL]

I've never played the game since the problem happened, but I'll try again with Steam using your launch option. I hope it works.

[_YKL]

During the very first race after opening, did the game run well and without any issues? and began to glitch during the second gameplay? cause thats what happend to me

[_YKL]

hey man the method you said worked!! im so thank full the game is running a bit laggy here and there and most parts of the map but thank you so much bro it works!!

[halfafk]

Hello
I am glad that you tried it and that it worked so thank you too !!
It took me lots of troubleshooting so it means a lot to me.
The glitch that occurs after the second race should be gone now. As for the lag, maybe lowering the graphics settings to 30fps would work? Vulkan is definitely more demanding.
I just really really wanted to play this game and I'm glad you could get in a playable state. If you have more questions feel free to ask away :))

[_YKL]

yeah i got it running at 60 fps i lowered all the other graphic settings to low and put my 3d resolution to 90% it worked well for me

[FanyRblx]

Hello! I'm experiencing the same discoloration issue, and I've tried both versions of AL (steam and ms store). I saw you metioned the "--backend vulkan" method to fix it on the steam version. Is there a solution to Microsoft Store version as well?
