Corrupt maps

[Spookwoman 0]

Haven't played SimCity in a while and just went back to play this evening. There was an update, then when loading a map it said something about unable to load and to restart the game. Did that went in to resume and it sat there loading. I restarted again and the terrain is corrupt in a grid like way.  I took a screen shot to show and this is happening with all the maps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, Turned off antivirus and malware protection and repaired and its still doing the same.

There still seems to be a major bug between the offline/online mode.   I have never been able to transfer a city from online to offline, but haven't seen anything like this.   If these are your offline maps, then maybe try an online game and see if new maps will render correctly, or otherwise start a new map in offline and see if it works OK.

Update I got onto EA about it and they were passing it onto the senior tech guys. In the meantime uninstalled the latest amd display drivers and reinstalled and same thing. I went back to an old driver from last year non-whql-win7-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.9.2-sep16 and they are working so it looks like a driver issue. Still onto EA so might get it narrowed down to the exact issue

Now that I look at the picture again the display driver problem does make sense, except for the UFO icon.  Good its working now.

So there's no fix other than to downgrade driver at this time?

If installing an old driver fixed the issue, then yes the problem lies with the Radeon driver which EA don't have a lot of control over.

That would seem to be the case. AMD are pretty good though, so I'd expect an update in future to cure the problem. Of course, they would need to know about the issue to fix it.

Any words on a fix for this that doesn't require downgrading drivers?
