Floodplain graphic shows up in the fog

Can you show a screenshot with the foodplain in the fog?
What map are you playing? Random, preselected, etc?
Can you post a save game that shows this behaviour? If you quit and reload the same game, does it show again or is it a random fluke?
This is the type of information that would help the creators to track the bug.

I'm playing a standard, pangea, with natural (?) coastline.
If I reload, it's still there.
The floodplain is the splotch in the upper left.

I just started the tutorial... and have seen the same thing... and YES, I have the same GeForce4 440 MX video card.
It's obviously not a game killing major bug, but it is surprising.
What version of Forceware Driver are you using?
I'm currently using the old 56.72 version.

I'm glad to know you got the game working at least! I thought my GeForce 4 MX wouldn't make it... anyways, still at least a week to wait for getting the game.

For my card, I had to download the latest driver, because the game wouldn't work prior to that. For some reason, you have to uninstall your current driver and virus programs, before installing the new driver. I'd think that installing a new driver would automatically uninstall the old driver.

I saw the same thing but I have a Nividia, for me though when you zoom in or out it goes away.

I just rememberd that when I upgraded my video driver, the water in Battlefield 1942 turned a radiation green. Perhaps that particular shade of blue is used on the floodplains and is causing something really wierd to happen?

I know cause for this bug.
It is not driver problem, but Firaxis coding. GF4MX cards lack pixel shaders (not required but recommended for CIV IV). This game renders incorrectly parts that are supposed to be drawn with pixel shaders.
Yep I have GF4MX Go, and same thing.

I see the same think on my laptop with a Radeon Mobility 9000.

Exact same thing happens to me, Geforce MX4000, running latest Nvidia drivers.
I figured it was something related to pixel shaders.
Weird thing was, when I first launched Civ IV, it told me my pc was below the reccomended requirements.
I am running Athlon 64 3000+, 512mb, XP w/SP2, loads of hard disk.
It then turned all the graphics settings down to low. I turned them all back up to high, and haven't any slowdown issues at all until I got to fairly late in the game, and even then, my turns were taking about 1/10th the time the Civ III did.

It seems that those of use with this flood plain problem also have another simultanuous problem: the terrain squares show only food, no hammers or coins. If all you of you can confirm this then it's probably a card problem. the image posted above has only food as you can see.

Nah, at least with my copy it has nothing to do with the seam. Everywhere there's a floodplain it shows up. And yeah, I have the toast-only city screen too.
I swear, I'll never buy another game from Take2 again.

initially I really wanted to support this game, but not buying it was the best decision I made. When I pay a lump of money, I expect that someone did the testing before releasing the game instead of having me waste my time on forums and emails trying to get a patch released. This is ridiculous. And it's clear that many people have complaints.

Same problem with only food being displayed.
