Sandy map

[jubanos]

Hi,

I recently started playing the game again, and noticed the map seems to be a bit bugged for me - water areas are covered in sand areas. I assume that's not some temporary weather effect, but a graphical problem. It is not on all zoom levels, but is always in the same spots. I googled the issue, and it seemed to be related to running the game on integrated graphics or Linux, but I have a RTX2060 card and I'm running on Windows 10. I don't have any mods installed.

Things tried:
- Checked file integrity on Steam, no issues
- Reinstalled game
- Deleted the Imperator folder under documents
- Tried changing graphic settings, no effect
- Tried running the game with a different monitor

Attached screenshots show what I mean - both are from the nation select screen, first one is the default zoom level where the issue isn't happening, and second one shows how it looks zoomed in (I assume those "sand corridors" across the seas shouldn't be there)

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Imperator
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Imperator AND Documents/Paradox/Imperator folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add imperator.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Imperator or Documents Imperator locations, before installing again.


If that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/Imperator/pdx_settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/Imperator/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

Thanks! I reinstalled again, and now the issue seems to be gone. No idea why it didn't work the first time, as I didn't do anything different the second time - but looks like it was something in the Documents/Paradox/Imperator folder that was causing the glitch.
