dark background

[grees]

When I start the game The whole background is dark, even where my people have gone and around my cities. After a few 100 turns it slowly turn light a few squares at a time.

First of all, apply the latest patch. Either get it via game update, or download it here: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/patch/. In most cases, patching fixes the black terrain problem. If not, ask back.

I have had a similiar problem but only at the edge of the map if there is land or tilted axis maps. It was enough of a hinderance that I gave up one SG. I am all patched up too and have the latest video drivers. Am considering getting a new card sometime in the future but would like to know how you make out grees as would be nice if there was a fix for it.

the patch seems to have fixed it, I haven't played a game just started one to check it. I'm using my daughter's computer as my HD crashed. I'll try installing my 256mb video card and playing a quick game after she goes to bed and see how the rotation and angles work. But at least now I can see around my city and where my scouts have been.
