After being bumped under the influence of ancestry i landed in Rabenna in Kajuu. There was only a yellowish haze where the background should be. All the actionable items were floating in their proper positions within the haze. This strange effect lasted until I refreshed the game. I traveled to several streets while under its effect.
Last test I believe this same strange phenomenon happened to another player. I didn't understand what she was talking about, because I was able to see the regular background during the time she was only able to see the haze.
