overlay text/graphics disappear

Post by fermionorama »

I notice that from time to time I loose display of certain overlaid text graphics. It seems to happen mostly during save/load, but that may be because I alt-tab in and out to check on the save/load since they take a while. Different information is missing depending on the zoom level:

Galaxy zoom is normal.

Sector zoom is normal.

System zoom:

All planet/moon/star names are gone.

The empire-colored circles are missing from all empires' planets & bases

The hexes for spaceports/starbases still show

All other ship indicators disappear (solid empire-colored triangles/circles) for my empire disappear. Other empire ships I can see still show.

The colony tags (with the development level/population grid and resource icons) don't show up when zoomed in enough that they should.

The pink selection circle (indicating what you have selected) shows normally, even when I have something selected which isn't displaying.

100% zoom:

The ship/base/port sprites show normally, but they are missing the empire-colored outlines (triangles/circles/hexes/etc).

Ships in combat (all empires) don't show the shield strength bar.

The colony tags (with the development level/population grid and resource icons) don't show up

I can save/load without fixing it, closing and re-opening DW does fix it.

I'm running Windows XPx64, Nvidia 9800, Intel C2D, 4GB DDR2.

Anyone else find same problem? Any more info about my system/the problem I should supply?

I've got some screen shots, apparently I can only upload 1 per post so I'll reply with the others shortly

I can provide a saved game, but this doesn't seem like the sort of issue a saved game would be helpful on.

This one shows one of my colonies at full zoom.

This one shows another empire's system at system zoom. You can see their ships/ports, but not the 4 of my ships which are in this system.
