Extremely strange visual bugs caused from looking at evolved species

This is a strange bug that happens when you look through all of the evolving cells after going to the evolution editor. After a short time of looking around, (and i mean a couple seconds), one of the cells has a loading screen instead of a picture and the whole visual system freaks out.
I do have one picture along with a short clip. Might also be just that my files are compromised or something.


I did finally figure how to post images out thanks to those of you who helped in the comments! For more elaboration, the visual bug appears to stay even when I go to the menu or a new game. Also, its different every time. In fact, I rechecked and updated this post because I just experienced the same bug. This time, though, I had only accidentally traced my mouse over the species list and it happened again. Ill try to recreate the issue and time how long it lasts.

Welcome, @Guywithacar22! I believe you can just copy and paste the image into your post. Also, you can edits posts, so there is no need to double post.

This sounds very strange. Could you please elaborate?

I initially thought that this was just a case of the image generation queue filling up and as a result taking a long time for new images to be generated. But if it never recovers (like even after 5+ minutes) then I think something else is wrong. And of course that depends on what you mean by that overall visual weirdness, like does it apply just to the generated images or even other stuff?

So a screenshot (you can just drag image files to the forums post composer to upload them) and log files would be very helpful. As I think something more serious might be going wrong which should hopefully be evident from the logs. You can get the game log.txt by pressing the button in the Thrive options menu to open the logs folder for easily finding that.

Does this glitch only require looking at the species report after it’s all loaded, or were there any other unusual conditions at play (atleast presumably)?
