Bug with Flag Carrier Graphics on battle map and other graphic errors

**Javiar** · January 11, 2011, 05:59 PM

I tried looking around the forums for someone with this problem but I could not find any.
So, in battles against the Middle Eastern factions (the Muslim ones) the actual flag carrier person that runs around with the groups of soldiers keeps showing a weird graphical bug. It shoots out large streaks of gray and black from the flag carrier's pole, and it shoots it sporadically in mostly vertical directions. I was wondering if anyone else has these problems, and if they know how to fix them. The bug remains even when the flag carrier dies, and it shoots from his corpse on the ground.

I could probably get a screenshot if needed. It is just extremely annoying, and I can't stand playing any faction by the East because of this bug because it gets really bad in large battles.

Thank you, and sorry for being terrible.

I don't know if that's included in the fixes, but have you installed 6.3 plus the fixes patch?

Yea, I got that installed, and I got the fixes properly installed.

Its your graphics card. Are you running it on a laptop or at very low graphics settings?

I have all the settings on the highest, and no I am not on a laptop. I have found though, after the fix, it the error is only occuring with the Eastern Muslim Bodyguard flag carrier, and with no other units it seems.

After playing some more it is doing it again for the Muslim and for the nomadic pagans. It almost always seems to do it for cavalry, and about 70% of the time for ground units.

Also, sometimes in battles everything gets extremely dark and brownish to the point places on the map that were already quite dark go completely black and it looks as if someone smudged black with the "Paint" program haha. It is completely devoid of color, as if the screen there was no longer working. But when units are on the space the units are shown with all their splendor, just they stand on a complete void! This has happened twice, and I don't think it is intended because it looks nothing like any natural phenomenon as far as I can tell!

Some other things I have noticed that were graphical errors were once I was battling some Novgorod, and the shields of the units all flashed multiple small (about the size of the unit's hands) triangles and other random shapes of white with a tint of darker color here and there. From my walls it looked quite queer, it was as if all of them had 30 sparklers on their armor as they stood there! I believe the units were Senior Rus Militia, but it may have been Druzhina. This error only happened once.

I am using Windows 7, and my graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series (I think that is what my graphics card is, if I found the correct device!)
