[1.08.037][Bug] Cloth map lost after returning to game from using menu.

from Elemental Forums

This has actually been a bug for some time, but I just confirmed with another player in the IRC chat that they experience it too; I thought it was my machine specifically because of some ATi glitch or something ... but Elemental loses the cloth map if you hit Esc to access the game menu and then return to the game.  Whether you are just zoomed out until cloth mode activates in the regular map, or have always use cloth map checked under gameplay, when you return to the game it is now in non-cloth mode but doesn't show any units or anything.

This has been happening for at least the last 3 patches or so; I made a post about bugs a while back, I was hoping it would have been fixed in this patch. I've tried an ATI and NVIDIA, both have the issue.

It is an old problem and noted in several posts before but we can only keep posting when it happens till it is fixed lest they think it has.

I will try Eviliron's suggestion as I have just gone back to the options screen unticked and reticked the cloth map only option to get it back.

Yes, I know its an easy fix, unless you are set to "cloth only" then there's nothing to trigger going between cloth and non-cloth.

 

Civilized and Influential (Pariden kingdom's traits) still do not function either.

This one was present from the release. Good to report it though. It happens when you are in cloth map, go to the menus by pressing ESC, and then get back to the game. The zoom level appears to remain the same as it was before you entered menus, however the game wont display clothmap but detailed view as if you are zoomed in. This is why you need to zoom in, then zoom out to fix it as it makes game go to the clothmap display again.

BTW ATI here, but I don't think this one is a hardware issue. You can use clothmap, it's just that game fails to display it when you return from the  menus even though it should (it's zoomed out).
