Strange horizontal lines on main map.

from GalCiv3 Forums

When I updated my GPU driver (NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 Driver Date/Size: 6/12/2014 19:47:35, 17553032 bytes),  I started getting extraneous horizontal lines on the main map centered generally on my Zone of Influence. This happened at several resolutions in windowed mode and in full screen mode. I found that turning off both "enable bloom" and "enable ambient occlusion".  If either of these are on the lines return.

I am aware that this could be a problem with either the driver or the game. I started with opening a ticket with StarDock and will await their guidance before opening one with NVidia.

Is anyone else seeing this?

The post titled

is a better thread for this issue. The symptoms are identical and there is more information there.

Camera angle also affects this condition. If I am looking at the galaxy from directly above the lines go away (with bloom and ambient occlusion disabled).

The latest game download (Beta 1, 0.40) seems to have solved this problem.
