Map issue's with alt-tab

Post by alwaysdime »

This happens at times with CSME and also with the Slitherine version of JTCS. Some times if I minimize, alt-tab, or just click on another app in my task bar the map gets hosed when I switch back to the game. I run a Nvides 980 TI but I also remember this issue on my old system running an ATI card with JTCS. Anyone else have this issue and is there an easy fix? To resolve I have to save and reload and then I am fine again for a while.?

This also happens when your computer goes to sleep if your away from the game. I don't alt-tab because of this but minimizing the window seems to work just fine for switching so far.

Yes, this happens at times to me too, if I've let the computer go to sleep, or minimise the window. It might be a strange artifact remaining as the code used to have a full screen (i.e. non-windowed) version only. So far we've not found the culprit to it as why it does that. Yes, closing and opening the game solves the issue.

You might also try either of:

[*]Display > Redraw Display, hot key Alt+D
[*]Zooming up/down one level, then returning to your preferred zoom.

With luck, they might solve this issue.
