This might be a big, or a problem with my graphics card, not sure. But some times there is a big white blob shooting out of some tile improvements. It looks like a blank white 3D area hovering above the map.. I think I took a screenshot, when I get home I will post it. Any one else know what I am talking about, kind of hard to explain.
Had this happen last night (version .77). I saved the game thinking I could send it in, but the graphics reset themselves when I reloaded.
I'm pretty sure it was the beacons from the upgraded Mana shards that were causing the problem.
I think it's the sunlight coming through the clouds effect getting pixelated
That's exactly what it looks like.
I had this happen a couple times over the weekend, also had the snow over the ice lands turn into giant snowballs. Wish I had thought to take a screen shot at the time...
I haven't had that, but I've had sparkle effects show up in the fog of war, from shards, I believe. Most of that was taken care of in one of the recent patches, but I haven't had that white blob issue.
What video card do you have (brand and model)?
I've seen the same issues. My graphics chip is "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2".
i had same issue i also have the exact same card jorlass "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2"
- i fixed this by going into my Catalyst Control Center 3d gaming settings
disable Catalyst AI
Uncheck adaptive anti aliasing
and everything else using application setting
I had the sunlight white blob issue. I've got a NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 560M card. Some other minor stuff, but that white sunlight blob curtain was downright distracting.
I think we should start a forum group called PAWB - Players Against White Blobs. Where do I sign up?
Ask the guy who started PAM (players against maul)
does the problem persist if you reload a saved version of the game? I think we know what's causing it but want to be sure
also for my own edification: Xia, what resolution are you running at?
I don't think it does persist. 1680x1050 and 1080p (monitor and tv)
I think its set to 1366x768. I use an 32" TV as a monitor. And I believe it goes away if I save and reload, and then comes back after awhile.
do you know if it comes back to the same spot? we think it has something to do with resources spawned through the course of the game, but it should go away on a reload as I understand it. And then it could come back in other spots during the game.
Either way, we will try to figure it out
Ooh, hmm, don't know that, will try and pay attention and report later.
I get it on my nVidia GTX 285 running 1920x1200 with the latest drivers (285.62).
I reported the same problem in this thread, including a screen shot. The problem does not persist after reloading a saved game. I'm running at 1920x1200. Display info from my debug.err:
