Yo !
I'm kinda new here. Actually I'm here only because I failed to cope with some nasty problem on my own.
I dunno if someone already asked of it. I looked around and didn't noticed similar topic or just overloked such. If I'm asking of thing that has been already answeared elsewhere don't get angry and just post a link for me.
So, here it goes.
I have some severe problems with maps. Minimap, the one that pops up after pressing m is all blue/purple and shows only creature dots (me, friendly and hostile npc's).
Automap in my diary doesn't show terrain either. It shows my location (dot that is) and flags, red and blue. That works ok and everytime.
But:
When I enter automap when it was last active screen sicne my last "visit" in diary it shows terrain I'm currently standing on in 1:1 but without any detais ie buildings, containers, anything. As I said I still see me and flags.
When I enter automap when it wasn't last active screen and swith to it I still see last screen as a ... background (?) and I can see dot of me and flags correctly. Moreover when I hover pointer around the screen it works like ... spray in paintbrush. It leaves trace marks and when I stop it in one place it ... dunno how to put it in english ... pumps more paint in one point ... so to use paintbrush language.
In both cases of automap +/- option works well ... I guess. Distance between maps is changing so I think it's working.
I've already tried different game settings, I cleared Dynamic folder, reinstaled game, restarted game to check if it's save fault, tried playing with different characters, installing latest patch, all without results.
It's kinda tricky playing without map. Minimap helps a little bit cuz I use it just like radar to see enemy but it takes me quite long to find a way around. I'm at the 4th lvl of catacombs and I've killed some orcs to the south of the first town and it was difficult not to lost. I had to flag things like "village entrance" , "this is a house" to easier my life.
While it kinda works for me now I'm affraid I'll get more and more lost when I'll go to new locations so solving this problem is "to play or not to play" for me.
If someone actually knows what I'm talking about and knows how to help me thaks in advance for any hints.
