Graphical problems after the last patch.

I have everything at max. I have the three check marks checked. The only issue I have is the grey graphics turning into black squares with the red dots, that happened on the last patch.

The issue anyway is related to the size of map and happens only in advanced era's (like moder era). If I play a small map everything's ok, but this grey texture effect only happens on large/huge maps.
 
I got a high end computer and so I could play Civ5 max out. Now I can't.

Time to get this issue fixed Developers.
 
What a surpirse, todays "patch" solved nothing. Really great job. First screw us and than make fool of us by releasing a "patch" that does absolutely nothing.
 
I have to agree with Chapon - I have exactly the same problem and my graphics card is definitely not low-range. Not to mention that it was working fine before the patch.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it makes the game unplayable, but it is quite annoying. I can see that trading it in for slower map-moving would be even more annoying, though.
 
O.K. I tried the ini change for no effect. This is what I get before the textures load. Not to mention a total graphical corruption in one specific part of map.

I am sorry. The game worked perfectly prior the "patch" that I did not want. And it does not now and it seems it will not again. So I am done with this and will think twice before buying another Firaxis product in the future.

This is a screenshot of the terrain as it pages in? The ini change only affects the way terrain pages in as you're scrolling around. It only loads the terrain it needs at any given time to increase the performance of the rest of the title.

What graphical corruption are you seeing? I would like to put it in front of our graphics team.

Yes, this is what I see when jumping around. And as mentioned so many times. It was not there before the "patch". I have a state of the art graphics card and computer. I have never had a performance issues till now.

And what corruption? This one. Again, never seen this before till now.

It shows exactly the issue we're talking about.

For some of us that grey turns into the black with red spot squares as in the post above yours.
 
I have the gray plus the black with red
when I first started playing civ5 I'd occasionally get the black with red after hours of playing but I chalked it up to having a gtx260 and figured I was maxing my video memory or something. Saving, exiting to the main menu, and loading my save would usually clear it up again for a while
I now have a gtx670 and prior to the last patch I'd still occasionally get the issue but it was infrequent and usually happened if I had other stuff open in the background, was alt+tabbing to my web browser while the AI made its moves and had a video playing on my second monitor

now I get it within 10-15 minutes of playing even on a fresh reboot and not running any other applications.

once or twice I also saw the kind of corruption in one of the screenshots Chapon posted

it also seems to run slower over all now and my workers have to have their orders re-issued every single turn

Seriously thinking of going back to civ 3 with the rar mod

edit: the hotfix may have improved things. Seems to have fixed some of the bugs. I haven't been playing long enough to say for sure about the graphics glitch

Yes, that is new for me. Never had this prolem. And this game is how old? Two years? Why would you need a new PC for an old game?

That is exactly it roberto. The further you go in the game the worst it gets. And yes, never had this problem before. Check that, I had this problem with my "old" computer. So I got a kickass machince last year just and so I could play CIV 5 with all of the features. Not interested in turning my settings back. I could saved myself $1,000 if I wanted to do that.

Bump....here...help?
 
Well, as I see no progress in fixing this, nor any will from Firaxis to do that, I have unistalled the game. And I will definitely think twice next time before buying anything from Firaxis. If your aim was to lose customers, than congratulations, you did a great job.

Let's not give up yet. I filled this request for support describing the bug and linking my youtube video (for the grey texture problem) or images above for the black/red texture issue. I fear that we have to be many to to make them care about this bug. So one last effort before disintalling the game :king:
 
The patch from a few days ago fixed the issue for me. If nothing changed for you, then I would look into something in your GPU settings or the game itself that affects the refresh rate. I still have the grey, but it is refreshing a lot faster and does not change into black with red spots. I would think that there should not be any grey at all, but that is a lot of information to refresh, and I would agree, that the coding itself is part of the blame.
