...yeah...rather common .

Missed your Oct. 12 post. I've also seen this phenomenon, so will confirm it.

Moderator Action: Moved to the Confirmed Bugs forum.

I suspect this is to the NVIDIA driver version 260.99. I ran a previous version without this problem. As soon as I upgraded I saw the problem appear. I use an NVIDIA GeForce 6600.

Perhaps someone could try reverting to a previous driver (if they have one) in order to confirm this.

I originally saw this behavior prior to 260.99.

No, I have an ATI Radeon video card and see this exact bug on occasion in almost every game, so it's not just an Nvidia issue.

any solution?

Hi,

I am wondering if there is already a thread about the graphics issue mentioned in this thread:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=421947

It's mentioned in the 4th post down. I also have this exact same bug with graphical elements sticking on the screen where they shouldn't be. I'm running the directX 11 version. My system is pretty new and has tons of memory, nice video card, etc. It was bought only a few months ago and was near top of the line at the time so I have doubts that it's a hardware issue.

I have seen this mentioned a few times but can't seem to find a thread. Let me know if anyone knows of any way to fix this or if there is a plan to fix it in a patch.

It tends to pop up late in the game on large/huge worlds for me, but is consistent enough so that it's become very annoying. Sometimes saving out and restarting the game doesn't even help. It's probably my #1 knock on the game at this point just because it totally kills the immersiveness.

Thanks!

It works for me to point to several distinct locations on the minimap, changing the part of map you are viewing. After several clicks the overlapping graphics are gone.

 

[chazzycat]

interesting, thanks. It kinda seemed like clicking the minimap was actually causing the issue, so I had avoided doing it, but will try that again.

It would be nice to know if this was on the dev's radar for fixing via patch too...

 

[Strategy Master]

Yeah same issue occurs occasionally here. More often for me on water maps I find.

But as Pep explained clicking around in the mini map usually fixes it (and may cause it too)

 

[Pep]

I've attached an screenshot and the savegame of the graphics bug. The savegame is of an advanced game, so it's more likely to reproduce the bug (it's hard to catch). Just play several turns and see if it happens.

Edit: Removed the savegame due to quota issues

 

[EndoConvert]

This is a known bug from the buglist: see "Improvements/cities/resources get 'stuck' to screen / floating graphics".

I think I got it!. With this savegame, the floating graphics bug is always reproduced (at least on my computer).

Please download it and follow the following steps to test it:

1. Load the savegame. Left-click on "Continue Your Journey" button.
2. The window "You Have Researched A New Technology!" (Metallurgy) pops up. Left-click on "Continue" button.
3. "City-State Message" button appears. Right-click on it to dismiss.
4. "Choose Research" button appears. Left-click on it and choose "Rifling" in the Research Window.
5. "A Unit Need Orders" button appears. Left-click on it to select a worker and choose "Construct a Lumber Mill" in the unit orders window.
6. "Next Turn" button appears. Left-click on it.
7. "A Unit Need Orders" button appears. Left click on it to select a scout.
8. IMPORTANT: With the scout selected, left-click on the minimap in the center of the yellow circle as shown on the first
   screenshot.
9. An image similar to the second screenshot should appear. You can see the floating graphics on the left side (enclosed by a yellow ellipse).

I've tried small variations of these steps and the bug also appears. The most important step is the last but one step.

Please try it!. I think a savegame that always reproduce the bug could be a great help for Civ 5 developers.

Edit: Removed the savegame due to quota issues
