Epidemic graphics bug

[Tilarium]

Decided I was done waiting on Holy Fury and started a new game up. The first minor epidemic just hit Iberia and I've got an interesting graphics issue going on as a result. Each county that the disease is present has a large blob instead of the usual fog. I had this come up before, but solved it when I updated my graphics card. This time, my graphics are already up to date. I don't have mods that are effecting the map appearance, just a couple for unit graphics and character appearance changes (playing an ironman game, so very light on the mods). Anyone got thoughts? Searching didn't really help me find a solution or anyone else reporting this issue.

That's either a corrupted installation, or a video driver or card problem.

Weird though that you solved it once yet it came back somehow.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start a new game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.

IF that doesn't help, DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

Turns out it was a mod after all... at least this time. Did a fresh install and ran a game with no mods for a few years and it was coming out fine. Turned the mods back on and ran a game and had the issue. Removed mods one at a time until I found the culprit. It was an old mod I use very frequently (it's literately the first mod in my sub list) but hasn't been updated in forever.
