map not rendering

[sesh609]

haveing problems with the map not rendering today its just white

[blupete]

I add just a quick note on this subject ... map frequently doesn't update correctly. I'm talking about EWS, AWS, and CP ownership ... this is happening since a while. I appreciate that CRS is focused now on 1.31, but it would be worth investigating the reasons. Anyone else having experienced that?

To the OP: are we talking the 1.31 open beta?

The updating of CP ownerships, EWS etc. is something else than the white tiles you see every now and then.

There is nothing of use to us here fellows. Please describe your issue in more detail and provide a complete system spec.

For example I can't tell which map you are talking about or what is happening to it.

Scenario 1:

• launch game
  
• select persona
  
• select map tab
  
• all map tiles are rendered as white
  

Scenario 2:

• launch game
  
• select persona
  
• join mission
  
• select rifleman
  
• enter game world
  
• press 'm' for map
  
• in game HUD comes up but there is no map panel, just keymapper

both scenarios 1 and 2:)the maps there but not if you know what i mean its just white

[ratcatch]

he means in 1.30

Pretty sure he's refering to the 1.30 white map issue.

As best as I recall for 1.30 some found that opening taskmanager and setting the ww2.exe to one core via afinity setting helped.

Should be fixed in 1.31 versions as best as I know.

Roger that. I will still see load issues on lower spec machines but nothing on my production boxes.

If your disk is a lot slower proportionally than your CPU it's possible to not have maps data load faster enough for the display.

In the current beta, sometimes you can not see anything in the map if you're not receiving packets from the server (like when you can't see any ei).

Just to add a bit.

The White-Map thingy started happening for me again in 1.31 with 0.27. I have not had it since it was initially fixed in 1.30 and have not had it occur with any previous version of 1.31.

Log in, select persona/brigade/unit, spawn in. Mini-map has missing tiles (I.e. inside the minimap window there isn't anything drawn, thuis I can see right through it) and pull up full map (M key) and have a lot of random white tiles.

Also, Whatever is causing it is also affecting my FPS when looking at the map. It's not the best indicator, but in 1.31.0.26 when looking at the main map while spawned in I would take a FPS hit of <5. Now I'm seeing a 50% hit.

If I make it home in time to play online Beta tonight, I'll take a look at my system performance and see if I notice anything (RAM spiking, CPU to max, etc).

Seems OK now in .28
