Re-Imaging problem

[petter26]

Every time I move the cursor past Naples or the bottom right side of the map. The program keeps reimaging itself across the whole screen. This has made the game totally unplayable, so I just shelved it for several months(almost a year).

Now I have got the itch to play again, and again this re-imaging crap. I beleive it started when I updated back with v 1.3 or whatever. I would really like to play.....any help?

If by re-imaging you mean it "stutters" while you move the map, then I have the same problem. It's pretty annoying yes, but this is not on my list for why this game is unplayable. [;)]

[petter26]

Yeah, Like I see Naples 50 times. But it resets, and everything is fine after I move it away from the bottom right side of the map. I guess stutters is a good word.

I am set at 96 DPI, and have all the updated video drivers. I guess an unistall/reinstall is in order? My computer did not like one of those updates.

[petter26]

Hmm...

Maybe I misread. It is entirely unplayable, as you cannot use the bottom rh portion of the map. Even when you use the "quick jump" map to get there. Same problem.

I'd check that you have the latest version of the video drivers for your PC.

[petter26]

That is freakin typical! As soon as I post this I find a driver update on Sony. Game works fine now. Geez!

Thanks for the suggestions

[DCWhitworth]

Glad to hear you're sorted. Always worth looking at your graphics drivers first if you have display issues.

hello,

unfortunately I have the same problem (south-eastern part of map not visible), installing newest drivers did not help. I'm using laptop with Intel 945 chipset, 1 GB of RAM. Reinstalling EiA didn't helped. No other apps running. Any ideas ?

Zuni... the "blame a 3rd party" approach (aka "install newest drivers") didn't work for me either.... sadly, I just play through the problem.

[Zuni76]

NeverMan,

the problem is that the game is unplayable in my case. The map does not just stutter, the case is that down-right quarter, does not appear at all (Naples, Balkans, Turkey, Egypt etc) - when scrolling it just repeats edge of accessible part of map. Strategic map does not work this part of tactical map also. So I can't access provinces located there.

Playing through means playing only Prussia all the time

So, you have installed the latest drivers, reinstalled the game, rebooted and this still happens?

[Zuni76]

yes, i've installed newest drivers, I did few times unistall/reinstall with 1.06 patch and I didn't forget about a reboot. Still the same. Anti-Virus switched off, no other apps running.

Also when I tried to run 1.00 version I got already known "storage" error message. So maybe some memory issues ?

Apart from that game runs smooth. I've played through few months - but with just part of the month it is pointless.

my configuration:
ACER TravelMate 4230
Intel Core 2 T5500@1.66 GHz
1GB RAM
Intel GMA 945

Can you send me a screen paint?

[Zuni76]

here is center of the map (where problem starts)

[Zuni76]

here is the right-down corner (totally not accessible)

[Zuni76]

and here it is what happens when I click on inaccessble part on the strategic map - on main map nothing changes, but look where strategic map is pointing

[Marshall Ellis]

Most definitely a graphics buffering issue but your machine sounds like it should handle this???
What version of DX are you using?

[Zuni76]

directX 9.0c

What other apps are you running?
O/S?
