One of our player have this problem:

As I know, so far only one person have this problem. Reinstalling the game from steam does not help. He say his drivers are updated. Any idea what could be source of problem and how to fix it?

What's the computer's GPU?
This is most likely a graphics card driver bug.

GPU: sapphire radeon rx 5700 xt pulse 8 gb

CPU: amd ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: msi b450 gaming plus
RAM: crucial ballistix sport LT 8gb x2
Drive: adata ssd xpg sx6000 pro 512gb
System: windows 10 pro version 1809

It looks like not only texts have problem, but 3d has issues too, alpha test doesn't work on plants (ferns, tree leafs), and trees don't cast shadows (except bark).

Is it possible to somehow add the shadows separately?

I wanted add that two more people reporting this problem (RADEON RX VEGA 56 and Radeon RX 5700 XT). Both people using drivers version 19.9.2
It may be issue with AMD cards or drivers.

After many testes, it's looks that Esenthel don't work with some AMD cards. Not only my game don't work on RADEON RX VEGA 56 and Radeon RX 5700 series, but also Esenthel Editor. There problems with font, some textures and shadows.

can confirm, after upgrading from RX570 to 5700 today, editor is not rendering text for projects and elements etc, code viewer still renders properly.

Driver version 19.10.1 and 19.9.2 tested same problem. RX570 renders normally.

Could anyone with an AMD card affected by this problem check if this commit fixes the issue?

Basically just have to replace:
static Byte VS_Code
inside Engine/Source/Graphics/Vertex Index Buffer.cpp
and rebuild the engine

I will check once I get back home from work.

Well building the engine and the Esenthel builder and running the builder shows the same as current release, text not working on 5700

Thank you Zervox for testing.
I'm in touch with some friendly folks at AMD so I hope we'll be able to find some solution.

ye seems that i am having the same issue with my test laptop that runs AMD as well. : /

i try your solution and now i have other error:
- D3D11 ERROR: ID3D11Device::CreateShaderResourceView: The Format (0x1c, R8G8B8A8_UNORM) is invalid, when creating a View; the Resource was already created with a fully qualified Format, which is not castable (0x1d, R8G8B8A8_UNORM_SRGB). [ STATE_CREATION ERROR #127: CREATESHADERRESOURCEVIEW_INVALIDFORMAT]
- D3D11 ERROR: ID3D11Device::CreateShaderResourceView: Returning E_INVALIDARG, meaning invalid parameters were passed. [ STATE_CREATION ERROR #131: CREATESHADERRESOURCEVIEW_INVALIDARG_RETURN]

That error is irrelevant (you can ignore it)

ok, but the problem still occurring

and I still have this error:
