Graphical bug with Mountains above Taksashila

Hello, thanks for all the hard work you've been doing to get out 2.3!

Sorry if this issue has been mentioned elsewhere; I've had a quick look around this subforum and haven't seen it come up anywhere else.

So, as you can see in the attached pictures, while the mountain range looks fine from some positions. As I move the camera around lots of the peaks disappear, and sometimes clipping low enough to show ocean underneath.

As far as I can tell I've done everything I have to from the installation instructions, and I even tried deleting map.rwn and restarting on the off chance that would have an effect and messing with the video setting, all to no avail.

Interestingly, I used to have the same issue on an old, less powerful, computer that was using a disk copy of Medieval 2, and this was EB2.2, in one of the earlier patches in the 2.2 series. I can't recall exactly which now.
But I'm now getting this exact same issue on a new computer with a steam version of Med2.

Not a big problem, as it seems to be entirely cosmetic (I played some pretty long campaigns on that older version), but as a bit of an eye sore it does put me off starting a campaign with one of the factions in the east...

If you can't think of anything else, then I think it might turn out to be my Graphics card (Nvidia Geforce GTX 660), as the only piece of hardware I've been using in both computers, though I fail to see how.

Thanks for the help.

Happens to me as well. I'm not really sure what it is, and I thought it was just an engine issue.

Pretty common, unfortunately, and it's never been addressed (assuming it even CAN be) because - as you note - it's purely cosmetic and there have always been bigger fish to fry. Then again, it could very well be something endemic to having huge numbers of mountain peaks crammed together - shifting the view requires the game to change the perspective on every single one of them, and that's probably very challenging for this engine.

Ah, fair enough then, glad to know it isn't just me at least.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, and thanks again for all your hard work on the mod!
