[SOLVED] Small multi colored bar at the bottom left of monitor

[Sean87NC]

Hello everyone,
I just got some new gaming equipment and things have been great. I first got a new GPU. I have a MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDRR5X and for a few weeks I was playing on an old LCD TV. Either way the card is a beast. I just got a new gaming monitor last week. I got a Asus MG278Q 27" WQHD 1440P 144Hz 1ms Eye Care G-Sync Compatible Adaptive Sync monitor. I can confirm Gysnc is enabled in Nvidia control panel and its running at 144mhz.

Anyways, I have really only been playing 1 game since I got the new monitor so I can't rule out the possibility it is a game issue. I have been playing No Man's Sky. It was on sale and I got hooked. The issue is that after about 3 or 4 hours of playing the game(on high/ultra settings) I will get this 3 inch bar at the bottom left of my monitor. The bar is made up of multiple colors. I am adding a link to a picture I took of it. Now, in the game the bar will just appear and stay there after those hours I said but if I were to say use a teleporter in game, which moves me quickly from one spot to another, the bar isn't there while I am being "teleported". This makes me think it is the game. I will test it this weekend by playing some other games for a long period of time or maybe try to find some sort of stress test application.

Anyone have any ideas or opinions? I am worried it is the monitor and I hate having to return things. Watching movies or doing anything else I have not seen that bar. I can't really confirm with other games like I said. Here is the picture. Sorry for the quality.

You end up playing the one title that is ridden with bugs and glitches galore. In fact it's the only game that hasn't seen any of the promised rectifications for the games glitches. Try and run another game on your system to rule out a game coding error, or a GPU drivers issue.

Might also want to list your specs like so:

I was able to confirm just now it is indeed the game. A bug. It appears when you take a screenshot in the game with Steam. I am able to replicate the issue. I stumbled across a post with people having the same problem. Before this I tried to test another game, Wolfenstein Youngblood but right as I started the game, my house power cut out and when it came back on and I launched the game, the game said my profile could not be verified and made a new one. Essentially, deleting my save file. There is no way I am playing through that game again. It sucks anyways FYI.

Thanks for your help anyways.
