Maybe this should go in the Technical Help forum, but this just didn't seem technical enough...

I was in the lvl 1 battlefield dungeon, trying to kill one of the bosses for a villager quest. I kept dying, and was using ctrl-l quite a bit to start the battle over again using a different strategy. I keep my mini-map open all the time in the upper left corner of my screen, and use the auto-map extensively, as well. After one of the fast reloads, I noticed that my auto-map was completely black, as if I hadn't explored anything in the floor I was on. There was just 2 blue dots in a field of black. The really odd thing was that as I moved around that floor, the black "fog" didn't open up like when you enter a new area. Now, on the main screen, where all the action happens, there was no difference. Where I had been was cleared, where I wasn't there was black "fog". When I opened the door to the boss, a red dot appeared in my all-black mini-map. I thought this kind of odd, but then I was really upset after I beat the boss, and proceeded to make my way up a few levels of dungeon to get back to the village. ALL MY AUTO-MAP PROGRESS HAD BEEN UNDONE!! It was as if I had never been anywhere! What was that all about? Now, I know it's not really that big of a deal to go explore a map again, especially after all the enemies are gone, but it was really frustrating. Any thoughts?

Again, all I was doing was fighting, dying, and using the quick reload (ctrl-l). This didn't happen the first few times. It was only after I had done it several times, maybe the 4th or 5th time??

Any thoughts? I have patch 1.47, BTW.

Thanks!

The BF fog of war sometimes being reset is a known problem (it should clear again in large-ish blocks). I don't think it is usually associated with repeated quickloading, so that may have just been coincidental.
