First, have you tried to view the bitmaps with a viewer like ACDSee to see it is the actual bitmaps are corrupted? It could just be a bad download or corrupted zip file.

Second, when you started the game were you able to go through the menus ok? (New game, character creation, module selection etc!)

Third, when you say the 'Map' graphics are corrupted, do you mean all of them? or are some of the tiles recognizable? ie:grass, trees, mountains, roads, water, monsters etc.

The reason I ask these questions is that I'm trying to determine if it is the actual bitmaps that are corrupted or if one or more of the xxx_Tiles.txt files are the culprit.

Also, is it just the map or is the entire display corrupt? GUI, map, inventory, etc.

I'm sure we will be able to find out the problem. Personally from your description I think it is most likely a bad download.

Have a Good Day.
