Sorry it took me this long to get back to you CodeCritter, but I have been under the weather the last couple days
]
In answer to your questions, I am playing Twilight, it does happen every time, and if i pulll the view out far enough, it does go away and you just have the standard stars view in the background. About the Tactial Map Zoom Level, mine was set at 25, should I
make it higher or lower?
And here is my debug from Twilight below:
