The green earth-help

(1/2) > >>

frumius:
Sometimes when I begin play and load a saved game the whole earth is green. No continents just place names. I can't get rid of it except to reload again and again. Sometimes when playing i have seen a new button appear labeled xvi map. That button is not always present and sometimes when clicked it turns earth green sometimes not.  I just escaped out of the game because I couldn't get rid of the green and there was no xvi button either. I assume the xvi feature is not implemented yet but it is messing things up I think,no?
   Update: My game is dead. All saved games are green. Multiple reloads do not help. I even rebooted my computer.  Is this BIG,BIG BUG?

anonymissimus:
Sounds like one of the bugs mentioned here http://ufoai.org/forum/index.php/topic,8722.msg62922.html. There is a workaround.
Note that the fix may still not be in your version of 2.5 or not in 2.5 at all. It does not happen in 2.6.

frumius:
Thank you Anonymissus. I tried your work around but it didn't work. I will keep trying. I don't want to start over.

Workaround: open the console (shift+esc) and type "map_overlay xvi" (without quotes) the press enter

The work around suggested by Annymissimus does work after several tries, however it now takes a full 2 minutes to load a saved game so this method takes a  long time. I've tried to reduce the loading time by dropping all settings to a minimum and even the resolution to 800x600 but this just makes the print impossible to read. Even at high resolutions the print is very faded. I know this has been mentioned before. Using the workaround  it can take 15-20 minutes to enable me to start playing. I have just gotten to some interesting things to research too so I hate to give it up.
