Matrix Games Forums

I can't see ships, buildings, colonized planets or empire influence on the zoomed out galaxy screen. Can see ships if I zoom into system view.
I have the option to show empire influence toggled, I can see it on the map on the bottom right of the screen aswell as in the galaxy map screen (G key), yet I can't seem to be able to see it in the actual game, outside of the UI.
What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something?

No mods installed yet, this is a fresh steam install.

Just to specify: You are seeing no map elements? Like the triangle around military ships, etc? I was browsing shortcuts to see if there was a key toggling all off, but I did not manage to do that...

Just to specify, I am thinking of the red symbol (due to empire color) around all ships:

I can see that when I zoom into system view, like as close as your screenshot. But I can't see anything but an empty galaxy when I zoom out. I'd post a pic but it seems I'm not allowed to do so on a recently made forum acc.


Edit: go to imgur and add this at the end of the url."/F6uNzY6" as you can see I got a large influence on minimap, but nothing on galaxy screen.

This is the image (a bit large to include in forum post, for my taste):

Hello Tagelconar;

Go to Options, Advanced Settings, on that screen, uncheck the box in the lower
left corner "Clean Galaxy View". That hopefully solves your problem!

I fear there is no such option in my advanced settings. /l2aFYqi.jpg on imgur

Actually there is that option when browsing options from main menu, which I hadn't done until right now, ingame options are lacking it.

thank you it worked.

That option probably does more harm than good

Glad to have assisted! Enjoy the game! [:)]

That was confusing, options of main menu and ingame should be exactly the same I think.
