Am I the only person seeing this problem? ( play on a reasonably configured laptop.
For the last several version (from the betas before the last release through at least 1.19c), I have had an intermittent problem.
I presume that it is partially a scale problem, as it occurs only later in the game. I play on the largest map size available.
Sometimes, when the program goes to paint the overlays (the right and left hand bar, the bottom bar, the city build or train display, the fighter design section), they come up without their background. The text is there. Some of the icons are there. But,there is no background so you are looking at the underlying map as well. In fact, if you have multiple displays (like you went from the soldier design to the save screen, and both screens lose their backgrounds) you can have multiple overlapping sets of text. The text is almsot unreadable. If you can guess where the button you need is, you can press buttons.
Sometimes, if I wait long enough, the game seems to suddenly discover the backgrounds, and they get painted. But usually they don't. Sometimes I can clear it up by hitting escape, and then returning to the game from the options page. Sometimes if I go all the way to the main menu it will clear up, and I can find and use the "continue game" button.
In some games it has reached the point where this happens every 3 or 4 turns.
Yours,
Joel
