Hello,
Ever since getting the most recent patches, I have experienced a number of rather serious graphical glitches. While one or two appeared every now and then in older versions, there was nothing quite as serious as this. I'll just go ahead and list all of the major ones:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Zooming in too far makes everything on the map except shields, units, courtiers and trees either pitch black or bright grey. There is also an incredible amount of lag when it gets like this, even though I have no performance issues normally. This bug appeared in earlier versions too, but it was rare and would usually disappear after a short while. Now it becomes the default after about 5-10 minutes of gameplay.
2. The entire map gets covered in diagonal black stripes. Sometimes the space between the diagonal black stripes are also filled with diagonal black stripes. There is also an incredible amount of lag when it gets like this. Changing mapmode or letting the game continue when this happens results in CTD. Alt-tabbing in and out sometimes helps, but not very often.
3. All lines, borders etc. disappear. There is also an incredible amount of lag when it gets like this. Alt-tabbing in and out usually helps, but once it has gotten like that once it generally won't take more than a couple of minutes before it starts again.
4. The interface "blinks", disappearing and re-appearing while the game itself freezes. For some reason, the blue tint in the game is increased in the parts of the "blinks" where the interface is gone. The only choice when this appears is to restart the game. Even if it lets up long enough to save, it will reappear soon after. The other problems listed above usually act as a sort of harbinger for this problem.
5. Least serious but annoying nonetheless; the background on courtier, court, diplomacy etc. screens disappears. Sometimes alt-tabbing or just waiting helps, but certainly not always.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These problems have become more and more frequent the further into the game I got, culminating in barely being able to get past 2 in-game years before having to restart the game and waiting 5 minutes for a save to load. (In the early 15th century as I write this)
For some reason, it gets particularly bad whenever I participate in a war, especially when combat is going on. Could just a coincidence though.
All my drivers are up to date, my specs are more than sufficient to play this game and I have tried reinstalling the game. I am playing the Gamersgate version with CK2+ with the Better Looking Characters and Magnate Lords mods installed, though I can't see how those mods would cause problems like this.
