Graphics problems when zoomed out on galaxy map.

Pixelation and lines at top of screen.

May 4, 2022 10:46:11 AM from Galactic Civilizations IV ForumsGalactic Civilizations IV Forums

I would like to know what is causing this problem. When zoomed out on galaxy map there are lines and pixel particles at top of the screen. I have tried to adjust graphics setting in game and have had no luck. This also happens on the cut scenes videos in the game.  My graphics drivers are all up to date. Just recently noticed this not sure out long its been doing this.

Looks like artefacting probably tied to hardware errors. I've asked the team if there is something more to this.

Only happens when I play GC4 no other issues with other games or with any other programs and apps. Troubleshooting graphic software found no issues.

UPDATE:

I ran a verify files scan and it resolved the issue. No longer having any graphics issues.

Thanks
