Region view problem

Hi,

I tried to make several regions on my own recently. They are all pretty large ( 15x10  huge tiles ). It all went pretty well, except for one detail. One region doesn't show upper right tile in region view. I mean, I cannot scroll the screen completely to the right to make upper right corner visible. Therefore, it is impossible to start two cities in upper right corner. It seems pretty strange to me. It is a demanding region, a lot of cities with complicated relief and difference from sea level to 1700m but still... I even tried to save the same region again via sc4 terraformer, but without success. Between some 15 newly made regions with same size and more or less memory and graphic card demanding levels, I have a problem only with this one. Any idea?

What resolution are you using? If it's too high, the game may not support it, causing this bug to occur. You can go over 1080p, but not by much, I forget the exact value. Either way, try reducing the resolution the game uses a few times, you should eventually come across a supported setting.


Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

    Game resolution is 1600x1200 with hardware rendering, while screen resolution is 1920x1080. In the meantime, I managed to enter "hidden cities" by double clicking on visible parts of tiles. They both started regularly, the terrain skin showed, and I managed to save the changes. I'll try to change game resolution several times to see if there would be some progress. It is strange that this is only happening with this one region.

    There is an irreparable bug that kicks in with a vertical resolution of 1200 or higher.  I'd suggest setting to the same resolution as your screen.  I run at 1080p without any problems.

    I know this becomes an issue with extra large regions - I remember Drunkapple mentioning this once.  I don't know of any solution, except for sneaking into the tile by double clicking, as you mentioned.  Unfortunately you won't be able to view your progress in the region view unless you download a region viewing tool like Region Census.

    O.K. Thank you all for your precious help. I was wondering if that would become a continuous problem, since I have to make several more regions of the same size. I will put my in-game vertical resolution to 1080. Since I already have Region Census installed for viewing the whole region, that issue will also not be the problem. Cheers!
