[Bug/Graphics] Blank World Map with Symbol World Name

from Elemental Forums

Problem: If your create a world with a name that includes a symbol like @, $, %, ^ etc, when the world is generated, the map will be blank.

Reproduction: On the "Create World Screen", change the name of your world to include some non-letter symbol like &. Start the game normally. When the world is generated, there will be no cloth map.

Tested this by naming my world "&".  Not reproducible.  Seems more likely that you started a new game from within a game, which has been a problem for quite some time and would give you the issue you describe.

Embarressingly, we have not yet had time allocated to make the game clean up after itself well enough to allow starting a new game (or loading a game), once you've started one.  You'll see all kinds of issues if you try.  Recommended course of action for now is to close Elemental .exe first before starting a new game or loading one.
