Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems MAPS ALL BLACK

My mini map and my large map....have turned BLACK...........all that appears are the two blue dots....DK and Hero....... green dots..friends.........and red dots..enemies..........

this happened before in the prison......now I am in a battlefield...First time it happened..I reloaded an earlier game..fixed the problem....

Tried it this time.......but didn't correct the problem........any ideas....

I will post this on the "tips" forum also...maybe someone there had this happen and fixed it................thanks

This a known problem in the BF. Walking around should clear the map again. IIRC double clicking on a character portrait to re-centre the screen can also help with the mini-map.

This happened to me twice. The only thing I could see that was the same was that I had saved with my mini-map open. Since I've been making sure that it is closed before I save, I haven't had this problem. Walking around doesn't bring the map back. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> If you don't have an earlier saved game, you may have to start over. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

I have encountered that a couple of times, double clicking on my hero to center in on him, brought the map back, as well as pressing a and then going back to the game.

mine too - this game is broken..how hard can it be to fix the automapper; this game doesnt know what its own maps look like?

Its not a bug all the time.... I have very often seen this "bug" appear with a perfectly natural explanation to it.

The mouse pointer was touching the side of the screen as you entered the new map, hence scrolling you our of the area where you have been before, into a completely black area, the char is still standing perfectly safe whereever he started, but you cant see it....

Double clicking on the Hero's pic (top right) centres you to your char again.
I think most of the time, this is the "bug".... only once did i actually end up in a black area, and that was in the demo... the reason for me ending up in black: ME getting behind a door that i wasnt supposed to be able to get past, and entering a area that wasnt in the demo.

this is not the "i have moved to an area outside of the map" user error - this is a "the automapper doesn't work b/c this game is broken" bug. it affects both the minimapper and the automapper.

for me, it renders the game nearly unplayable, because i cannot take having to retrace my steps everytime i reload.
