1.19f Video going nuts

from Elemental Forums

I started a new game after updating to 1.19f, and everything went fine until the game tried to show the map. The fog of war displayed fine, but then the map just has a bunch of redrawing polygons on it.

Other games work fine, haven't updated hardware nor drivers since playing previous version (which worked fine).

Using ATI Radeon 5670 video card on Windows 7 x64.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi stillontheedge,

Can you please post your debug.err file so we can take a look at what it says.  The file should be located in your /Documents/My Games/Elemental folder.

See this post https://forums.elementalgame.com/391297 for more information about posting files.

Thank you.

Also, which previous version did you play before where the game was working?  1.19e?  or 1.1? or something else?

It seems as though the issue is related to the resources on the screen, such as farms and shards. When my person is on a section of ground where there are no resouces, the video seems fine. Same if I scroll the window away from the resources.

Update: I have tried the following things:

Rolled back my video card driver - No change
Updated to v1.19g - No change
Tested other games:
  Magic Duels of the Planeswalker - works fine
  King's Bounty - Armored Princess - works fine
  Civ V - works fine

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
