  • My map is always blacked out

    I have explored most of my surrondings, but the map doesn't show where I have been. It is as if I have left my first city. They only way I can see the map is when I totally zoom out. This makes the game difficult to play. Anyone else having this problem? Any remedies?

    Could you maybe post a screenshot to illustrate the problem?

    Because from your description, it is not exactly clear whether this is a problem, or you are referring to the fog of war.

      Main map, not the minimap, right?

      Do you have all your terrain black? Can you see forests/units/cities normally?

        So glad I'm smart enough to wait until a patch is available.

          It's just the ATI cards sucking again, the game isn't that buggy!

            I was being somewhat sarcastic.

              Um so the game wasn't tested with ATI cards or what?

              Solver don't be so general- tell us specificially what you know if you know something.

                The game was tested on ATI cards...

                I don't know much right now, except that people all over at the various forums are reporting graphical glitches with ATI cards. I have no idea why that would be the case.

                    I have an ATI card! I can't get windowed mode to work - the game loads, but then gets stuck on the "Done" loading screen.

                    Edit: works fine fullscreen through.

                      Perhaps there was a recent update to ATI drivers that causes these issues...?

                        Gah. I don't have the game yet, but my ATI card gave me enough problems with both WoW and EQ2, forcing me to constantly juggle with and downgrade the drivers to fit the requirements.

                        ATI must be the most frigging sucking card manufacturer ever.

                          Apparently they missed a few.

                          I have a 9800 non-pro but I'm stuck at work so I can't test it.

                            I'm having the same problem... or at least it sounds like it's the same. I took a screenshot of the blacked out map:



                            I can see cities, resources, units, and I can possibly see rivers... but not the actual terrain (grassland, plains, etc).
