Graphic glitch when scrolling out to wide view

[jtolb65]

Everything in this game looks, smells and tastes great with one little exception. When I scroll out to look at a larger chunk of the world, I get these horizontal lines across the planet surface that obscure everything except for the city squares themselves and the clouds also look fine. Medium and short range views are perfect. It's only when I'm scrolled almost all the way out that this happens. Attached is my dxdiag info. If I need to input a screenshot let me know, but I'm hoping that someone has run into this before and knows what I'm talking about.

Any ideas what may cause this and how I can fix it?

Update your NVidia drivers. The new ones have a fix for corrupted textures when you zoom out, so that might be your problem.

There is a button just above the mini-map to the very right that automatically scrolls you out to a world-wide view. When I clicked that button the graphical issue that I had didn't show up...and hasn't shown up since! Very strange!

...but I will update my drivers anyway. Thanks.

I get this problem occasionaly, all i do to fix it is alt tab out of the game then go back in after that it comes good.

Make sure you have loaded Patch V1.52, it fixed a large number of Critical Memory issues.
