White Map Problem

[StaticV]

We've only had time to finish it half-way. I revise my "Monday" answer to "soon", hopefully within the week but no promises.

Any news on this? Waiting patiently to play with a few rome games.

For the next patch, I've included a legacy mode which turns off a lot of the more fancy stuff. It's all shader model 2 and use less textures.
If you want to try it with the demo, you can replace your shaders and some of the textures and see if it solves some of your problems. This might cause your map to become flat though, as some parts of the solution has to be made in the exe.

Put the fx files in your gfx/fx folder, they should overwrite the present shaders.
Put the dds files in your map/terrain folder they should overwrite the present textures.

I leave no guarantees that this will work for your setup, nor that it won't mess up your game, so make backups of your files.
Also, post the results in this thread.

When you first load the map it seems to be rendering the textures improperly, they appear to be stretched verticality off the world. Once you pick a side and it switches to the claims map everything looks fine. I started up a game and checked all the different map overlays, they all seem to work except terrain. I've attached a screenshot of the terrain map.

It certainly is playable now though. I'll mess around with the demo for a bit before I try it on the retail version.

I will see if I can redeem this for the demo on monday, the legacy mode in the next patch for the full game will automatically set some flags that should take care of your problem.

Birken I started with full detail and the laptop switched off probably for overheating (check thread in tech issues).
Then I moved to lowest possible details (even editing settings.txt) and it still switched off.
Out of despair I tried the windowed mode and in full detail I'm enjoying the game finally.

What's wrong with the full screen mode?
