Post by: Kitsune on April 20, 2013, 07:49:34 AM
Switched to a nice new 1920x1200 monitor... and a I get this glitch:

I have tried software mode... no plugins and the issue remains. Anyone else have this issue?

I think I recall having had this issue way back when. I think all I had to do was reload the tile, save/quit and it updated the tile preview on the region map. Not sure if that's what this is, as that was many years ago now.

The same happened to me at that particular resolution, switched to 1280x1024 instead.

That glitch occurs on 1600x1200. Only way to avoid it is to use 1920x1080 as your screen resolution in SC4.

ok... doing 1920x1080 does the trick.. but I now I have a totally new issue. The game won't load water or terrain mod's anymore - no matter what resolution. I tested them by themself, and still crashes. Any ideas?

Depending on the current setting, does switching either to hardware or software rendering make a difference?

yeah I did - and that didnt do the trick. RAM and VRAM usage is completely normal too.. so if its a hardware issue, yikes.
