Map flickering / gray overlay on click-drag

Game mode: Single-player
Type of issue: Misc
Server type: PvE


On PC, when you open the map and click-drag to pan the viewable area around, you eventually start getting a translucent gray overlay that flickers in and out of view as you move the map. Appears to be the same effect as when you hover your mouse over the menu at the very top of the screen but happens even when your cursor is not near the top.

Running on an RX 570 4gb usign the most current AMD drivers as of late April 2019.

Agree, saw this also happen with a RX 580 8 gb.
So may be a driver issue, or it’s a map issue, but never saw it reportet.

Then let’s face it, CE didn’t never really like AMD, and we saw several drivers issues in the past. Also these cards are worth what they are, it’s a budget solution for me in some cases. :wink:

As far as reporting, I have had to learn to live with a portion of this. In my case, it’s not an overlay, but a flickering of brightness as you move the cursor over the map.

NVIDIA GTX 1080

Just adding to the report.

Well, at least now we know it’s not AMD-specific! Thanks for chiming in!

With a few notable differences, though. I am not panning, just moving the cursor without clicking/dragging. Also, mine is a flicker, not a gray overlay. I think you gave well enough directions that I can replicate, and will do so now.

Apologies for not expressing a welcome to the boards earlier, but …

Welcome to the best gaming forum !

I was not able to distinguish between the effects by dragging the map and moving the mouse, but what I saw could be described as a gray overlay, or flickering brightness.

Could you try moving the mouse without dragging the map and see if it is the same?

Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the welcome!

It does indeed happen even when you just move the cursor, without panning the map. It flickers from normal to a gray overlay. It happens in certain areas of the screen and is reproducible if you move the mouse in and out of those areas.

Here are two shots with the gray flicker / overlay, first off, then with it visible.

Off

On

Second shot is zoomed in because my Steam screencaps on numpad + :smiley:

It happens over squares of the playable grid as well. I’m 90% certain, I will re-check later tonight but I’m fairly sure it just happened along a square right next to my player marker.

Agree, at least we know that. :wink:

But yes, we may call it differently, but i think we all experiencing the same flickering or changing brightness while hover over the map.
Like @Jim1 said, it’s a little thing i can live with, i don’t camp my map over longer time.

Yup, exactly that, hard to show with pictures, but yes.

I imagine we see all more or less the same.
Still better in a way if all are experiencing this than just a minority… it let some hope. :wink:
