Civ 5 Graphics Query

The Game Room
1

I have noticed in the game (noticeably towards the end game) that I tend to have a problem with graphics.

It is as if the outline of a city has been placed on the screen as a transfer and as you scroll around the map this “city” stays on the screen and overlays whatever is underneath it.

This has happened to me on two different laptops. Has anyone else experienced this? And how do you get rid of it? I mean, I can live with it as it doesn’t interfere with the operation of the game but it gets annoying.

And this is in the wrong forum. What a great start. Could a Mod please transfer it for me?

I think I’ve had the problem you’re talking about, or at least something similar. For me it’s like a “ghost” of some tile improvements (usually in the top right third of the screen) that “sticks” to the screen. It doesn’t do anything, but it’s annoying. I just quit and re-launch Civ 5 to get rid of it; it doesn’t happen too often to me anyway. If it happens a lot, I’m not sure what to do.

Yes- that is it precisely. I can save the game and restart and it goes away. However, the game at that time does take a little while to reload.

OK, the thread is moved.

Is your video driver updated? And your DirectX install as well?

Mine are and I get similar glitches. It doesn’t mess up the game or anything, but Civ 5 is absolutely rife with unfixed bugs.

Teletype- yes, all is fine there. As I said, two computers and both are up to date.

Anyway, seems I am not alone. Thanks for the responses.

I’ve had that happen to - I’m pretty sure that if I hit ESC to get to the main menu and then jump back into the game it goes away without having to quit and reload. Anywhere that it will force the game to redisplay the world map, basically.
