Mini-Map sometimes doesn't load.

[Kobra]

Anyone notice this problem? We're finding it on 3 different PC's here that sometimes when you start a game, the mini-map begins blank, and never shows islands.

Reproducable here quite easily.

I've definitely seen that problem discussed somewhere before Kobra, did you check the other threads here in tech support?

Here is a German thread about a similar issue. The first reply contains links to four other threads about the same thing:

From what I can tell, the main piece of advice is to update your graphics card drivers. If that doesn't work (I think it should), then you can play around with the settings for Anisotropic Filtering and Anti-Aliasing in your graphics card properties. Turning them off seems to work for some people, while others have suggested turning them to application controlled.
