Map object graphics (planets, ships, etc.) replaced by simple icons

I just bought the Gold Edition GalCiv II game and it ran fine for a couple days but then suddenly I lost specific graphics within the game. For example, ships became simple configurations of small circles instead of beautiful ships.

I'm running an XP home edition on a newer Athlone processor. I have only a half gig of RAM (I've been broke! This game was my first splurge in months!) If this occurred on my initial startup I would think I have insufficient system or video capabilities or such except it worked perfectly fine (albiet a little slow to launch/shut down) for a few days.

I am sorry I don't recall what I was doing when I first encountered this problem. Of course I tried looking for a configuration setting I may have flipped in error. I could find none. Restarting DA, rebooting my PC, and then reinstalling DA altogether did not resolve the issue.

Thankfully I backed up the error file before I reinstalled. No new error report has been created for this latest installation so I think that as far as DA can figure, these icons are not noteworthy.

One other thing I can think of that occurred around the time I began having problems. I installed Microsoft's latest security update on Tuesday.

The error report reads as follows:

Hi!

suddenly I lost specific graphics within the game. For example, ships became simple configurations of small circles instead of beautiful ships.

That's normal function of the game when you zoom out. Zoom in (get closer view on you ship), and you should see details again.

BR, Iztok

Sounds like you have it on strategic view. Press 1, and it should be set to the normal view, or use the dial on your mouse, if you have one.

Iztok, it doesn't matter what my zoom level is. Zoom level was the first thing I tried. The ships, planets, asteroids, etc. remain in their small, phantom form.

gminisama, you say Press 1 but you don't tell me where I should be when I press it. I assumed the normal playing screen so I tried it there. It looks like the map shifts but the object icons remain the same.

Thanks both for your response but the issue has not been resolved.

If zooming in does not return you to the normal view, then you must have set the "tactical view zoom level" slider in the options all the way to one end. Just put it back towards the middle and things will be normal again.

Thank you kryo. That is all I needed and that's what I get for prefering to just work with the game instead of reading any manuals!

Now back to exploring my new toy! (I see people post high scores so I'll have to work on a worthwhile posting!

Thanks again.
