[BUG][1.01]Map almost all white - can't actually play

from Stardock Forums

Installed the game (via Impulse and then Steam) on a Vista machine and it seems to work fine except that all the map except a little around the margins is white.  The other screen elements, menus etc. and the minimap are functional, but the map is featureless white except a green fringe. This is in both the tutorial and a new game.   Essentially, I am blind as to actually playing.  Did a Windows Update for optional items, changed resolutions for the screen and in game, but no luck.   

Please let me know any suggestions.  I've looked through 10 pages of posts here without seeing anything similar.  If it were common, I am sure it would have been fixed.

I got this with Elemental betas, it was an issue with AA on ATI cards/old drivers.

If this can help !

Thank you for the response.  AA = anti-aliasing, right?  Do you recall the issue?

I went in game and turned anit-aliasing off and set the resolution to Desktop, which did not change anything.

I'm not sure if you have solved this already, but I had the same problem with my ATI card and had to dig around on forums for a solution.

In the Catalyst Control Center under the [Gaming] tab and [3D Application Settings], your Anti-Aliasing Mode is likely set to Adaptive Multi-Sample. By changing this to Super-Sample, I was able to correct the problem.

 

I hope that helps.
