Nope they've definitely vanished. Very odd! I have other connections working fine, just not this one. I don't seem to have any significant no job zots so I guess they are making it to work. Just can't understand where the little sims have gone! Falling through a gap between the region tiles I guess lol

Yeah I know freight disappears. I've noticed it can take a while for rail passengers to show up. I'll try and give it a few more game months and see what happens. I'll report back any changes or not as the case may be.

I have some train passengers mysteriously disappearing. I have a station one side of a neighbour connection and another the other side. On one side there are 2000+ passengers when I use the route query, yet on the other side a measley 66. The only station that side is showing 200 rail users. Does anyone have any ideas where these unfortunate people have gone?

Thery're nowhere near as bad in Maxis Night to be honest. It seems the darker it is the worse the effect. I agree I can't think of anything else to try it must be some something related to modern graphics cards. I've noticed a few other peoples screenshots have the same problem so I guess it is not just me. Thanks for your help anyway, I'll let you know if I find some miracle solution . Best Wishes Dan

I tried taking out all the plugins and it made no differece. I tried the newest drivers and that made no difference either. Thanks for reminding me on the drivers though, I had been meaning to do that.

Thanks for the suggestion Nonny Moose but I've just tried this with no change. Here's a better screenshot on Zoom 5, the lights show up the funny texturing more clearly: Notice the poor quality texturing on the 6 lane avenue. It's still visible on Zoom 4 as well.

I promise the graphics were not like this before I upgraded Windows and my graphics card. The 'screwed up' textures are noticeable at every zoom level. I could post some more screenshots but to be honest it doesn't come out very well cause the mods make it so dark.

Actually I checked again and the same problem does show in Maxis night just not quite so bad. So it's definitely a problem caused by it getting 'dark' not by the night mods. It must surely be something to do with how the new graphics card renders night shots.

The fact it was dark isn't what I was getting at. These two screenshots show up the problem bettter, Day: Night: Notice how the the textures on the road look screwed up at night.

Here you go, Day: Night:

I've got a strange one for you guys, would really appreciate some help with it. I've just upgraded my comp to Windows 7 and put in a new graphics card. After reinstalling SimCity and putting all my plugins back, I've come across a strange graphical glitch when using either SimFox's Day Nite Mod or Gizmo's DarkNite Mod. The graphics at night are odd they almost look like the game has reverted to 16bit colours. The graphics during the day are fine though. Maxis night is fine by the way. I've tried install DirecX 9.0c which made no difference. I haven't installed any new plugins since it was working fine so it's not a conflict problem. Sorry but I'm having trouble trying to attach a screenshot at the moment, I'll try again later. Thanks in advance, Dan
