Congratulations on Post-Patch Graphics

[Torvald]

Although there have been many post-patch messages complaining about G&K game play or graphics problems, I wanted to instead express my sincere appreciation to the game developers for finally fixing a serious pre-patch graphics problem.

Which particular problem, you ask? That darned problem where a glaringly bright red & white checkerboard background would display instead of the animated leaderheads. In my case, this seemed to also eventually lead to game crashes.

Therefore, despite the other post-patch problems being reported, thanks for fixing the leaderhead displays. Just won a quick G&K game today (about 320 turns), using no mods, and had no graphics problems at all. (Did encounter some minor graphics problems and crashes yesterday, but that was in a different game while using 18 mods.)

(My computer stats: Windows XP 32-bit, 4GB RAM, GeForce GTX 550 Ti videocard, Nvidia graphics driver v31.33, DirectX-9.)

Yup I was playing the TSL giant map and that black and red graphic glitch happened.

 

[Torvald]

Yes, yes - I know that lot's of new problems were caused by the latest patch.

I was just trying to throw out a lifeline to Firaxis & 2K Games, thanking them for at least fixing the previous really annoying leaderhead graphics problem.

Hopefully they will do a better job of testing before they release any more patches.

Actually I had a bug fixed where the mouse kept going behind the building list in the city view. It was finally ontop and I could read the pop-up box. But then it went away, and it is now back to the bugginess.

Yeah, thanks for this:

This is EXACTLY the issue I am getting on larger maps! Is there any way to fix this yet? I have the latest patch (I assume, since Steam should update it automatically) and the latest Nvidia driver...

It seems that the 11/22/12 update has once again restored things back to normal and it even fixed this bug where my cursor is once again ontop of the building list in the city view. THANKS for keeping up with this Firaxis!

Oh c'mon man... Are you trying to troll people that can't play anymore?
This "grey texture reloading" issue is driving me nuts. No solutions, no words from official support. Is this the way to treat people that spent over 60 euro on a game?
