No map appearing on one comp

April 10, 2010 3:00:30 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

On my desktop the map does not appear at all. the whole screen is just blank grey.

The UI/HUD appears fine.

I updated my video drivers.

I updated direct x.

I checked to make sure my video card was directx 9c compliant. (NVIDIA GFORCE 6800)

My computer is about 1 year old dell that runs everything else just fine.

My lap top runs the game fine.

Anyone else have this problem or have a suggestion?

Thanks,

Mike.

Have you tried going into the video options and turning off advanced lighting?  This works around the problem for some people.

Ihad the same problem with an older GeForce 6600 GT. Turning off advanced lighting fixed the problem with portrait windows but not the map. The map appeared when I turned anti-aliasing to OFF.

Thanks, turning off anti aliasing made the map appear.

Please post your debug.err for reference, even though you found a workaround.
