Possible Bug?

[Vigo_Zerox 0]

hey there!

whenever i work on my cities (side by side), and i go to region view i noticed that the city blocks vary in quality, one city will be sharp and neat looking, other will be dull and flat

bug or is that normal?

As if like you hadn't made it yet? See my quick guide.

No not exactly,

that quality between the cities is diffirent and it looks funny,

here i added a picture

erm im not sure which one to use for simtrop, if non wore just copy and paste the url and ull see what i mean by quality diffirence

a higher quality bigger pic in the link (not posted) would help us see the issue, I can't really tell by that pic, but if you use terrain mods, they will sometimes save with diff colors/textures depending on the time of year of the save, I use one of cycledogg's mods and make sure I save at about the same month of the year for all cities, hope this helps...

i am using a terrain mod(i have no idea what its called, i downlaoded it over a year ago),

but that date of save is roughly the same time those two i made were just as samples

and just to make sure i save two lots at the same time on seperate regions and still they looked odd

heres the image upclose, hope that helps

new to me.  But does it matter in the Region View?  That's not where you play the game.

[Vigo_Zerox 0]

i guess so, but im quite the freak when it comes to everything looking perfect and such

but then it is a bug?

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Don't know.  There definitely is quite a catalog of harmless ones around.  Maybe you have found a new one.  Anyone else?

From the left side of the pic, it seems there are clouds, and in the right one, there are not.

That may explain the differences ?

[Vigo_Zerox 0]

yeah there are clouds but that wouldnt explain why there would be a defined line where it changes right?

ive noticed that it sortof works like a chess board,

in comparison to a region map

the black sqaures are nice and clear ,

while the white squares and blurry and flat

edit:ASWELL

if you look closely at the ground where the two cities are built you can see one is more

(yellowish?) than he other side that is just the flat green like the rest of the region

and in advance yes they're at the same elevation.

[wouanagaine 83]

Oh, I thought you have edited the image to put the black line

maybe try to change the game resolution, I know there are some problems when playing at 1600x1200

[Vigo_Zerox 0]

well ive tried changin the resolution and i still got the same results.

but from what it looks like its not like this on your game?

[Pokeoddsponge 0]

Yeah that black line isn't supposed to be there.

I'm no expert but it might be some type of video card related error.

Maybe an outdated driver, like some of the older drivers for the GeForce series of cards used to "erase" some objects like roads when you scrolled and drag stuff around. (I think it was the 5.xx and 6.xx drivers, its fixed now in more recent ones.)

OMG !! i get the same prob, 1 city is clear, and then the next is blurry goes in a chess board pattern like you said.

I switched resolution to 1600x1800 and that made all cities really clear but a difference in detail is still visible

Is there a fix for this ???

I haven't heard of one.  Did you review the rest of this thread?
