The person assisting me with the ticket found something that fixed the issue, if anyone else is having it: Go to My Documents/My Games/Galciv3 and delete the "prefs.ini" file. That did the trick, and brought back Earth's precious continents. Not sure why, but it did.
Well, then we've got 'em surrounded!
Done! Thanks.
[quote who="Kanlei" reply="11" id="3479384"] Not sure why your having this trouble. On mine it shows earth perfectly.[/quote] Well, that's why they call 'em "bugs"... :D Is there somewhere more "official" I should log this problem, or are the devs pretty good about picking up on issues in here?
[quote who="moltobenny" reply="9" id="3479373"] I've reinstalled twice from Steam, with identical results. I installed to the D drive, though. DUN DUN DUNNN?!???! Will try accepting the default. [/quote] Nope, reinstalled to C drive, default location, same thing. Dang, I thought that was gonna do it. :)

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="6" id="3479365"]Can you post a picture of what you are seeing? And I have a GeForce 640 with the same driver level.[/quote] Sure. BTW, I start the game just by hitting "new game" and then leaving everything default. Oooh, what a pretty blue planet!

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="2" id="3479336"]The next question is to moltobenny: Are you running with the most current (non beta) GPU driver? (I had some problems with the latest GeForce beta level GPU driver and had to back it off.)[/quote] Yessir. GeForce 337.88 (released 5/26/14), new GTX660 card. I'd be amazed if it was really a GPU issue, since it's an ocean world on the planet/production map too, not just in the galaxy map. But who know
Apologies if this is well-known or otherwise answered 100 times elsewhere, I swear I looked before posting: When I start as the humans, Earth is an ocean world. Like, 100% ocean. Where's my house? Where's Vegas? I thought I remembered seeing Earth's actual continents in an earlier Alpha build (or on the dev stream, maybe). Am I goin' crazy?
When the actual game comes out at the actual price , all of this will be forgotten.
I'm having a lot of fun, and I was specifically told not to. This is fantastic. Only been less than an hour but I already love it. Scrolling/zooming/animation on the main map seems sluggish, but I'm sure there are plenty of graphic enhancements to come. Yaaaay!
[quote who="Neilo" reply="59" id="3405699"]Is it just me or is the 64bit only and steam only crying a bit too much on the forums already?[/quote] There's already crying about the color of one of the spaceships in a screenshot. Whaddya gonna do? [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
Me too. We are totally 1337.
