Emmeth Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi, this game is simply a masterpiece !! There is only one show stopper ( demo ). During the game, expecially after a couple of turns, the map keep on showing the green version of itself , I mean the one you see when you select an airplane with only your stuff highlighted and all the rest is greyed/greened out. This happens despiting what section you click , platform or whatever action you take. The problem is that this happens all time long and the only way to get rid of this persistent huge bug is to save , exit and load again. Recently even worst this trick doesn't work anymore and I keep on playing with everything greened out. I simply can't go on anymore. I have demo version 776, I saw there is a 777 to try but I can't find a link to upgrade the demo and the dedmo itself still cann't find the 777 with the update function..... Could you please help me ? I have W7 64bit ATI 5870 I have no problems with all the games I have both old or new. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmeth Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 It seems I can get rid of it with a fastidious way, anyway it seems to be feasible : Place a transport near a coast and each single turn I move it , this way ( moving the transport ) the game is forced to let you see the map and after the move the map keep on being on clear state, at least until the next tunr where I have to do everything from scratch. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 EoS seems to be very demanding memory wise. Do you have a lot of other applications running at the same time? I have never seen that bug in the release version, but each time the program updates a turn, the map is briefly replaced with the startup screen.

I haven't seen that particular bug, but could you take a screenshot for me? I'll put my email into your private messages. Or you can post it here. You can use [--img]http://www.empiresofsteel.com/assets/images/Screenshot51.png[--/img] to post images right into the forum area. Remove the "--" from the text. As far as the version numbers, version 1.01.776 is the version number for the Demo and 1.01.777 is the version number for the full-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi,... One other question: are you running your display at 16-bit or 24/32-bit graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmeth Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 HI Brit, thanks for your quick support. I sent you an email. The picture will show a normal first turn where I selected the Zeppelin and the screen greened out. That's the normal and intended behaviour I know, the problem surfaces after a few more turns ( it gets worse and worse later ) , I mean this greened map pops up ALWAYS, despiting you select a whatever unit , city etc... there is absolutely no chance to get rid of the greened map even if you select a terrain platform. I found that saving, restarting a loaded game may help for 2-3 turns but then everything comes back to the green nightmare. It also happens than during the green time if you make a trade the map becomes normal for 2 seconds but then it comes back to green state ( like when you select an air unit ) for ever. When the " air " green map appears there is absolutely NOTHING you can do ,AFAIK, to get rid of it other then.....posting here Thanks in advance for the help Keep up the good work, this game is great indeed. Cheers P.S: didn't you state on some posts that the 777 update was intended also for the demo or am I mistaken ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
