Hi, I can't get the stamen roads/cities layer to show up?

I uninstall the entire game and reinstalled via Steam and let it sit for literally hours.

Good evening,
Checked it. Works on mine. Steam 1307.9
No idea why
Regards GJ

I am pretty sure its an issue isolated to the DX11 beta. On mine, it reappears zoomed in and sometimes in specific areas.

lol, it appears Oahu isn't important enough to map. It did show up in other areas.

Soooooooooo slow to load, I dont use it.

Is this still an issue in B1328.5 ?

Yes it is.

It actually works pretty well in a non-beta version.

In 1328.7 it does not work. Sometimes I can see a few blurred tiles with it (unsure if this is due to them being loaded from cache).

laro, thank you for your follow up on this. If you get a chance, could you please take and upload a screenshot with the latest public beta of what you are seeing with the View menu open as in the top post (I use Windows + PrtScrn to get pictures with menus open and then crop as necessary) and the camera details visible in the caption bar at the top of the map (latitude, longitude, and altitude)?

This happens regardless of location. I moved to previously non visited location and this is what I got.

with 1328.8 it looks like more tiles load and they load quicker, but still at some point the loading stalls. Sometimes I get only one tile loaded and it is very blurry. At the same time Stamen and OpenTopoMap work very quickly (though OpenTopoMap gets blurry with higher (or have rough edges) compared with previous production release (ending 1307.19).

Note I have a 4k monitor, but the UI renders well - unsure if this is related. I scale UI in Windows to 1920 and it works well with all the other apps.

I also tried with only roads+cities layer enabled - in that case I got a full map:) Also if this a sole layer enabled loading is super fast. However when I zoom in more the problem reappears. Sometimes moving a map by few pixels causes they layer to disappear completely though it was fully loaded before.

So it looks there is some interaction with other layers and there is some interaction when map is moved/zoomed in which causes this layer not to work properly.

Note small changes in zoom level (1 level)

laro, thank you for the screenshots. They were helpful in replicating. An initial fix is in the pipeline. Disabling the Placenames layer when Stamen Roads & Cities layer is enabled in the View menu is a workaround that will help, though under 10,000 altitude may still result in full or partial missing tiles until the fix makes it through the pipeline.

Thank you.

laro, can you please try with the latest update on Steam (1328.9) and let me know if this has improved for you?

It did improve, thanks.
