Anyone have this graphical error, nvidia users?

[WuphonsReach]

I get it after being in Civ4 for a few hours.

NVIDIA GeForce 6800 AGP 128MB, Opteron 148, 2GB RAM, Windows XP. Running pretty recent (within past 30 days) NVIDIA drivers and the latest patches for everything else.

Exiting out and restarting the game always fixed the issue for me. At least the game doesn't crash so it's merely an annoyance bug at the moment.

Tonight, it threw me a new curve. The entire UI vanished after clicking "end turn" and I wasn't able to make my start-of-turn moves for the next one. I had only been running for an hour or two on that map (huge map, pretty darn full with lots of units).

Just loaded the game, and this happens to me as well. 6800 GTO, lastest nvidia drivers and 1.5 G Ram. I hope there is a fix for this in the patch.

I rolled back my graphics driver to version 71.24 and this seems to have solved the problem.







edit: more accurate version no.

I've seen it on the minimap, but not on the main screen.

My 6800 (81.85 driver) is doing it too, both on the globe view and mini-map. Hopefully the patch will fix it, if not, I can live with it. I don't zoom out that far very often.

Got this bug too, and similar effect appears on minimap too, sometimes.
ALT-TABing out and then back to game actually fixes problem for a while.
My config: ASUS V9999 GE (GeForce 6800), ASUS P4P800-SE

As mentioned earlier in this thread, I also had a problem with graphics blurring when zooming out, and on the mini map. It was an intermittent issue. Since rolling back the graphics driver, the problem has no longer appeared, so I thought I would supply more info about my system:

System Model: Dell Dimension 8400
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600)
BIOS: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 AO7
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20GHz
Memory: 1534MB RAM
Page file: 251MB used, 3182 available

Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce 6800 GTO

Driver version with graphics problem: 81.85
Rolled back driver version without graphics problems: 71.24

I downloaded the 71.24 driver from here.
