So, where are we at on the blank/black map and mini-map, for those of us whose older graphics cards can't use the latest & greatest drivers? It seems incongruous that my rig can run just fine for complicated VFX battles, but can't display the *)*&(#!! maps at all?
Why in (insert Deity)'s name would it take more graphical sophistication to display a rather simple map, than render full battles?
