Hello everyone!
After yesterday's launch, we’ve soon become aware of a serious graphics issue affecting some players using AMD graphics cards. This issue causes invisible or flashing textures on the main menu and in-game, and even some crashes.
This is not a bug in Loan Shark itself, but rather a problem introduced in AMD’s latest graphics driver update (version 25.8.1) that has also broken many other games made with the Godot engine.

Possible fixes
Until AMD releases a patch, you have two options:
Roll back to the previous AMD driver version. This should fix the issue, although it doesn't seem to work for everyone. A quick Google search will bring up guides for rolling back AMD drivers — here’s one example from the community: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/Fv4H02FKoC
Report the bug directly to AMD. We're guessing the more reports they get, the faster they’ll fix it: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/AMDBRT.html
We'll keep you posted!
As soon as AMD releases an update that resolves the issue, we’ll post another announcement and let you know you can safely update your drivers again and/or buy Loan Shark if you wanted to play it. Be sure to follow to game to receive updates.
We're sorry to those of you affected. We’ve tried implementing workarounds on our side, but unfortunately that causes other problems and is too risky to do haphazardly.
If you stick with us and apply the fix above, Loan Shark should run exactly as intended. Thank you for your patience and for supporting our game even through hiccups like this.
