Description
Map black after update to 1.34.5.0

Game Version
1.34.5.0

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the Above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue in as much detail as possible.
All the land on the map is black (with splotches of bright red and green). This issue happened when I updated to 1.34.5.0; I did not have this issue on my previous version (1.29, I was running it a few hours ago successfully to finish a save).

The launcher reports that it can't verify the integrity of the Lions of the North expansion and Scandinavian Unit Pack. However, the issue persists even when I disable them. The issue also persists after checking game file integrity on Steam and upgrading my graphics driver.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Launch the game

Can we have this as a darkmode feature?

This is now resolved: I was able to fix this issue using the directions from another thread about graphical issues (the primary directions, I didn't need the "if that doesn't help" directions):

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

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox/EU4 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 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/EU4/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/EU4/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

Not a game bug, so moved to tech support.
