Parts of map revealed at beginning of each game + color blocks overlay tiles

Game Version: 18.7603

  • Build Number: 17582450 (updated Mar 7, 2025)

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue:

Since the Immortal Pillars update, there are 2 visual issues:

  1. At the start of each game, parts of the mini map show revealed. However what is revealed is not everything that is on the map. It also happens in rectangles and almost like in a chess pattern. Once I go with a scout in the area that initially showed as revealed, it becomes normal.

  1. There are color blocks which usually overlay tiles. Sometimes they have around 50% occupancy, sometimes they are completely solid so I can not see the tiles anymore. This happens in the menu but also during the game on the building icons. The color us usually greenish but I also saw red in some placed before.

Trigger Event:

Before the Immortal Pillars update it never happened. After the update it started.

It happens every time I use the game. There usually is some kind of issue but where it appears can be different. The revealed map issue is consistent. Sometimes the revealed map is bright, sometimes it looks like revealed with fog of war on top.

Repro Steps:

It happens every time since the Immortal Pillars update.

Thank you for your help!

Here an example photo of issue 2. Sometimes it’s also on top of the tiles on the right sight that I can not see them anymore. The half transparent color overlay also happens on mini maps

I’ve been having the same issue, and compiled a list of other payers that had the same problem aswell. I’m sorry if external links are not allowed.

Normally, both problems arrive together. The map one and the colours one.
