[Beta 2][Bug/Graphics]City improvements vanish after zooming out

Smoke/particle effects remain, though.

from Elemental Forums

Zooming in/out normally works fine, but I wanted to see the 3D view from further out, so I tried adjusting the "cloth map zoom level" to around 40%.  This worked great until I noticed that my city improvements were no longer visible:

The smoke and sparkle effects were still going, the fence was there, and I could mouse over the spots and it would say what was there, but the actual buildings were gone.  Zooming in/out does not fix the problem. 

I then quit the game, reloaded the save and tried again, setting the zoom to about 30%.  I zoomed out, and upon zooming in, the buildings were gone again.

Video card: Nvidia GTX280.  I'm running 1600x1200 with most display setttings maxed.

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

I can provide a screenshot and/or further details if you need them.

I've had this too,  but if i zoom all the way out and back in it seems to reset them.

I've had all buildings disappear at certain zoom levels and not return, even before I've zoomed out too far.

 

Effects like fires and similar particle effects remain. A reboot of the game fixes the issue though.
