[BUG (duplicate)] empty screen when game starts

from Elemental Forums

When I started a game, (with a maximum amount of oponents) this was the screen I got:

 

This is the first  time this happened to me. I already tried the game before and I did get a normal view then.

 

You can find the output of debug.err here as a 'pastebin' link

For completeness, here is my dxdiag output, also as a pastebin link

 

[UPDATE:] this bug is a copy of this one here. (As stated there and here by Lord Alderaan, the problem is fixed by changing the resolution to a lower one)

Quoting Lord, reply 1
Try:

Reducing resolution in options. (related to this one perhaps?: https://forums.elementalgame.com/364203 )

or

Delete prefs.ini in My Documents\My Games\Elemental
End of Lord's quote

 

This solved the problem. I'll update my post accordingly

reducing resolution did not work for me but I found that instead of taking the map name suggested by the game and making up my own solved the problem for me
