Started a new game recently with a Nitro map and the issue started within just a couple of minutes. Attached a screencap from the console below. I forgot to check the memory usage in task manager. Oddly, after quitting the game and starting up again, task manager showed the game using 13+ GB of memory - it ran a bit choppy, but no phantom blocks. Go figure. If it helps, I'm using: Ryzen 3 1300X Radeon RX5600 XT 16GB RAM And the game's installed on an NVMe SSD, plus I've also tested it on both standard SSDs and HDDs.

I can't speak for @danielspoa but my game is installed on an NVMe SSD and it makes no difference. I've also tried half textures, max/min settings, etc. Pretty much every possible combination of things I could think of. Seems like it happens slightly less often with all settings maxed (which is weird), but still rarely get more than 10 minutes of gameplay before it starts tweaking out.

Similar things used to happen to me occasionally, but not even remotely as often as it does in A19. Now it's virtually every time I venture beyond my base, and even sometimes when I don't. I rarely get more than 10 minutes of gameplay in before I have to quit and restart.

This is absolutely infuriating. I stopped playing 7 Days for quite some time because of the poor performance. Came back recently for A19 and the game runs perfectly now.. except for the phantom blocks. Mostly marble, but I've also noticed sink tops appearing on top of trash piles and a few other glitchy things. It happens so often, especially on random gen, that it makes the game virtually unplayable. It doesn't seem to matter what settings I change - I've tried everything from fully maxed to medium settings + half textures, I've tried DX11/OpenGL/Vulkan (Vulkan just crashes), tried changing the Steam shader precaching, etc. For reference, my specs: Ryzen 3 1300x 16GB RAM Radeon RX5600 XT I love this game, but I'm about to give up on it altogether because this issue - which has been around for a while and apparently gone totally unaddressed - makes it almost unplayable.
