Only using base game (though I have DLC purchased), everything worked fine before the updates/merge over the last few days. Every single game I start I will start getting these ghost tiles/phantom tiles about 5 minutes into the game. They seem to be unavoidable and will stay stuck to my screen, ruining any chance I have of continuing. If I try to circumvent the issue by reloading the save RIGHT when I see the bug, it doesn't matter, once the ghost tiles appear they are there forever on that save.
I have tried reinstalling my game from scratch, I am not using ANY mods, I have tried deleting all local files and saves just to be sure, basically completely starting ONI from scratch and it is still not helping. My computer is new and has very good specs (and the game ran great just a few days ago).
Some other things I have noticed that seem to be related to his ghost tile issue, I will sometimes see the gas bubbles that are within the swamp biomes ghosting through the screen as well like this:
Not only should you not be able to see the gas bubbles, but the size looks way off too, the bubbles are getting stuck somehow and then the zoom out keeps the bubbles big even though I am zoomed out (which makes me think its related to the ghost tiles issue since the gas appears to be getting stuck on the screen like the ghost tiles).
Additionally sometimes I will see 2 highlighted squares on my screen, almost like I have two pointers and one is following the other sort of down and to the left, I cant really explain it other than showing you another screenshot:
If you look carefully here, you can see that my cursor is over some iron ore on the right hand side of the screen, but you will also see that my cursor is duplicated and appears above the menu in the bottom left, right above the "food" and "plumbing" areas. if I was to mark this iron ore area as a spot to "dig" it would cause a ghost tile to appear where the second cursor shows up in the bottom left. This is one way I notice the ghost tiles appearing, but it is not the ONLY way, I just figured I should include this information as it is the only way I know how to reproduce it at will.
But yes, all of this makes the game completely unplayable, what a terrible time to fall in love with this game 
Please see the second half of the post above. I will paste the part where I can sometimes reproduce the issue:

Edit: Seeing as I have tried a fresh install and deleted all of my saves anyway, I am willing to try whatever it takes, let me know if you want my save file, though I don't think it will help much, seeing as this is reproduced on every game I make, not just a single save.
EDIT2: Okay so I went into my steam and into the properties of ONI and unchecked the DLC. Now I normally don't play with DLC on anyway, but I just have it swapped over in the menu. if I actually go into steam and disable it THIS way, it diverts it back to the version (469300) that doesn't have the QOL updates from the merge. With this version in place everything works like perfect again. So I guess this is a temporary solution, but I can almost guarantee that when the final merge occurs and the QOL updates are applied to the standalone, I will once again have the same issues.
