Blank map when loading scenario

Just bought this and CS: Vietnam today and was looking forward to play especially ME as not many games seem to focus on the region.

Sadly, whenever I start a scenario, I can see the menu at the top and the bar at the bottom, but anything in between is completely blank. It's the same with Vietnam btw

Any idea what I could do? Version is 3.10.10

A couple things to try.

1. If you have any NVIDIA overlays, turn them off.

2. Alternatively, download this: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en ... ndows.html

Thanks Jason. Overlays are already off, as they interfered with other games as well.

I found another thread that says that all Intel Graphics drivers need to be up to date. Never would have thought that this could have been an issue.

Afterwards, CS: Vietnam seemed to work but the map was constantly moving up. Switching to scroll bars helped with that. Also, in both games when I hover over the scenario list, the scenarios keep switching without me clicking.

I tried loading a save and again the map was empty. After restarting the game it worked again.

ME loads with the map but the Scenario Briefing and Intelfeed are devoid of any text. Map loaded though and is usable, and not moving on its own.

After closing and reopening the scenario, there is text as well and all seems to work so far.

Very finicky...

We do have some new updates coming out on November 19th for Middle East and Vietnam, hopefully those will resolve the issues you're experiencing.

Sorry about that.

This also happens for me.

Jason: Would his game logs have anything useful?

That happens to me too. Since the dialogues are new, there will be some teething issues until we figure it all out. That will likely be something that gets addressed in the Spring UPDATE.

The Scenario Launcher selecting rows automatically when mouse hovers over is a Windows OS feature I would need to manually set off but I haven't been able to. It should be possible, for instance with File Explorer you have the same but the selected folder remains selected while folders you hover over are merely highlighted.

Sometimes when reopening a scenario to continue play, the save file is at a stage where Intelfeed is empty. I have not seen that with Scenario Briefing. Did Scenario Briefing shut down before you relaunced the next or the same scenario again?

I am very happy to receive quick support and that it does work in the end. Even if it's a bit finicky.

It's refreshing to receive quick and easy support through a forum rather than having to go through support tickets which may or may not be read by anybody.

Not sure if it shut down. It has not occurred again so far :)

EDIT: It actually happened just now again. Started Bootcamp 2 in ME and the Scenario Briefing was completely empty. Intelfeed showed that an airstrike is available. Closed and reloaded the scenario and now it works.

Also, it takes a 2 minutes to load the scenario on a machine with an SSD with 64GB RAM and an Intel i9. Is that normal?

Someone on my stream was having that same issue. I know he found a solution for it, I will ask during my stream this morning if he shows up. I don't recall off the top of my head.
