Summary​

Map Rendering Contains Major Error. On the Eastern Atlantic Seaboard of US , in particular off the Shores of New Jersey there are buildings in the Atlantic Oceans and as game progresses new ones are being constructed in the Atlantic Ocean. Very Weird Biug.

Description​

This is an ongoing problem I have noticed , ever since Victoria 3 was patched from version 1.92 to its current 1.98 version. Just to set this in context, I made sure that for each of these following versions I would delete the Paradox Interactive game folder ( in C: Documents on my hard drive), to ensure the game re-renders / re-builds the game graphics properly. To no avail.. Each time the game is launched and I make my country selection and get into the game I notice a very weird and annoying graphical /rendering error. The map looks properly rendered, except for the area around the Eastern Atlantic Seaboard of US, in particular New Jersey. For some unknown reason, the game depicts buildings off shore from New Jersey int the Atlantic Ocean being constructed. As the game progresses from 1836 this continues to happen. To troubleshoot this , I have restarted the game multiple times and changed the GFX renderer from Direct X 11 to Vulcan, again to no avail. I have never with previous versions of the game ( i.e. 1.62, 1,87 etc) had such a problem as I am also using the same laptop with same strong CPU ( Intel 714560HX ) / GPU ( RTX 4060 with 8GB VRAM). Please advise how to resolve this graphical glitch

Steps to reproduce​

1. Changed the GFX Renderer from Direct X11 to Vulcan, Didn't work, problem continues
2. Restarted game multiple times. Didn't work, problem continues
3. Deleted few times the Victoria 3 game folder in the C Drive , hoping game can rebuild the game graphics correctly. Didn't work, problem continues

Yeah this has been around for a while. I even see it all the time during streams/vids etc. Even in the promotional stuff around the 1.9 release.

Wish we could at least get an acknowledgment that it's known and is being tracked.

Yes totally. Before update 1.9 the game's map was only tolerable by using / adding map mods like GIS Map (https://catalogue.smods.ru/archives/181015) or States That Make Sense, but dunno what they have done via recent updates, but unfortunately these are now incompatible with the current map. There so many issues with the vanilla map, terrain inaccuracies aside ( i.e. missing Ottawa / Detroit and Niagara rivers or even Lake of the Woods), like cities ( Thorshavn - Faroe Islands, Lerwick - Shetland Islands) also missing . Can't believe developers never cared to correct stuff like that via updates too
