Dispelling Sphere Sporadically Renders Exclusively Backface-Culled with an Incorrect Opaque Animated Texture

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	notjared on March 24, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.5.1
Actual Result:	The Dispelling Sphere will sometimes randomly appear backface-culled-only, except for some extra swirl effects, with an incredibly intrusive opaque animated texture.
Expected Result:	The Dispelling Sphere should render with a mostly transparent texture, with the texture on the outside.
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Sometimes
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This bug has been going on since Kaneki's release; I have been doing my darndest to identify what the trigger condition is for this occurring and I cannot figure it out.

Steps to Reproduce

Play as The Lich
Unknown Trigger Condition
Send out the Dispelling Sphere

Explanation

Triggered by some unknown occurrence, The Lich's Dispelling Sphere will sporadically render backface culled with an obnoxiously incorrect animated texture that so wholly covers the entirety of the sphere that the Sphere practically becomes opaque, and it becomes impossible for the Killer to see anything that they're doing for a few seconds, or anything that appears inside or behind the Sphere (which entirely defeats the purpose of a revealing Sphere). (It may be worth noting that I play with the Colorblind Modes turned on with the Intensity turned down to 0%, as this does change the regular texture of the Dispelling Sphere).
