Re: Black (stored) Photos with Patch 1.119.109

I created a new savegame and took arround 12 new photos. 3 of them i put in the storage. The rest on the wall. I saved the game and after enter again i had the problem with the photos in the storage. Later, after restarting the whole game and came back in the savegame  3 of the photos on the wall was turned black, the rest of the wallphotos was ok so far.

    Hi DERLanky​ 

    thanks. For me the photos are fine. I can duplicate the paintings easily which is why I wonder what's the trigger for the photos.

    Are those phone photos or photos taken with a camera ?

    All Photos was taken with the expensive camera not with the phone, i attached a zip file with the savegame in my post but it seems that it not worked. I try to ad it here again

    I think i found something, i tested with like over 50 photos taken with phone, with a good camera AND with camrera and the tripod from the Moschino Pack. Maybe it is coincidence because photos get black on a wall after reloading a save, is a little rare. Only a few of the photos i took with the Moschino tripod getting black. Not all of them but only those that was taken with the tripod.

    I often use the tripod because i like the possibilities that comes with the tripod. So it makes sense that when i often use it, i got more black photos.

    To be clear NOT ALL photos get black. Some of the tripod photos stay normal.

    AND the photos in any storage problem is another one that do not have anything to do with the wall problem. Photos in storage getting black anytime, doesent matter how they was taken.

    Did the photos you take have filters? The photos with filters are only turning black for me, at least in this test run.

    You are right its the filter and not the tripod, thx for testing it.

    Did you try new photos in a ongoing (not fresh) save as well and they didn't turn black, or are only completely new saves (as in starting from scratch) not turning black?

    In my opinion for the problem with the black photos from using a filter and a camera, it doesn't matter if it is a new or a old save game, because the patch did not change any behavior of this problem. If you do not use filters when taking a photo, you should be save from this specific bug also in old saves. Do not forget that there are other things, like storing photos, that can them turn to black.

    I tried both but I didn't have any time to test the filter stuff. I just used phone photos which seem fine.
