    Default White map

    After installing the patch i got this problem. After a battle and returning to the strat map the entire map turned white. Well all land turned white (and its not snow).

    Anyone knows how to fix this?

    Yes mine turns to black instead, very strange indeed. I have found that changing resolution fixes it but i don't wanna have to do that after every battle.

    Change your unit shaders.

    Due to my lack of complete modding knowledge and technical ability with RTW, plz do explain in more detail.

    David and Coldknight, what video cards are you using?

    As Celtibereo suggest, adjusting graphics, particularly shaders could clear this up. Another thing you might be able to do is change just about any video setting and get the video to "reset" to a normal value.

    I made a thread about this, except all the seas on the map were turning black. I haven't found a permanent solution to stop this from happening, but minimizing your game window (ALT+TAB) then opening it again sets it back to normal... untill the next battle and back...

    Thanks guys,
    I did the thing where the computer finds the best settings and then I changed them back the way they were (I think) and havent had the problem so far.

    if you want to avoid the possibility of ctd with alt-tab, just open video options and change the resolution of your campaign map. it will make the black go away. you can then change it back if you want. i have to live with this all the time on my computer.

    I had the same problem a LONG time ago (way before the patch was even anounced :P), but it had to do with the fact that i set both the campaign map resolution as wel as the battlemap resolution to 1024x800 (instead of 1024x800 and 800x600 respectivly), changing it back to the old settings fixed it (not that i noticed any difference between the resoltions anyhow)

    i have a gforce 2 mx 64 mb videocard with v5.2.1.6 drivers btw
