:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Faint grid lines are appearing on terrain when using the Enhanced Graphics DLC on a 1080 monitor. I have the terrain grid set to “Off” in the settings and am not using any graphics mods that would affect the grid. I’ve verified the local game files on Steam.

Update: Did some tests and this problem seems to occur mostly at the boundary between Black and any other terrain. Might be a problem with the blending algorithm. The grid lines show at any zoom level.

  2. Load any map.
  3. Terrain will have random faint grid lines appearing on the terrain.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

No grid lines should be present.
