Dawn of Dominions map error

Nope, Linux. And it seems like this is happening in-game for some reason. The map viewed from outside is fine.

Ok I restarted the game a couple of times and it disappeared. Weird.

Starting the game client more than once while one instance is already running has always resulted in very colorful graphic glitches for me, if that is maybe related.

We had no intention of altering the Dawn of Dominions map. If there has been any changes to graphics or .map content it is probably due to tha fact that older unfinished versions of the map might be floating around on my computer. If an inferior version comes with the map I would like to know, so we can inform people, and post the working one in case someone lost the correct one.

I believe there is nothing wrong with the map or map file, rather the drawing of it in game. Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

The problem goes away if I restart the game.

Aha, that might be a resolution thing. The maps is cut to pieces and reassembled when drawn (to save memory IIRC), and thin slices might overlap in the process. I'm not sure how and why. JK told me once, but I can't remember. It has been there fo a long time I think.

I see. If it might help I'm running linux (Fedora 7) with the latest nvidia drivers, my playing resolution is 1280x1024.
