I don't think I've seen a thread on this, but it has been bugging me since I got the game, so I wanted to see if something is wrong with my setup... In the game, all of the 2D unit icons work great in the various 2D zoom levels, other than 2D small, which seems to be corrupted.

For example, 2D Large:

2D Tiny:

But 2D Small is screwed up....

Anybody else have this problem? Any idea how to fix?

Are you using any mods that change the Counter files in Graphics Override?

I think for the Small size they would be named Counter*.png. You can get these kind of errors if the files are not the exact dimensions the game expects.

CounterBackground.png should be 31x31px.
CounterUnits.png should be 496x248px.

I assume you've not changed the files in the Graphics directory where the game is, just the overrides.
Compare them to the files in the Graphics directory of the install. Or just delete files you think are relevant from the Override directory until it sorts out.

Failing that zip up your entire Graphics Override folder and post it here and I can take a look [:)]

Not that I recall, but it's been a while since I installed the game, so have to check.

Usually I don't do so, but I seem to recall having weird issues when the patch installed the Steam versions of TOAW and messed up my file structure...I need to go back and check what is where... Thanks for your tips, hopefully I can get it figured out now.

Huge, Large, and Small tiles must all be in the same directory. If you put the Huge and Large tiles in the override directory and leave the Small in the main graphics directory, the Small tiles will not be found by the game, and the game will sub the Large tiles for them. That's what you're seeing.

Duh, turns out I had a counter mod, I guess it didn't have all of the zoom levels included, or something. I removed the mod and now it seems to work normally. Thanks for the tips.
