paeron24 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 So, I'm not sure it's the 1.8 patch but I just fired up Skyrim for the first time after the update and now I have no map textures. I can open the map and it'll come up with all the map markers i've found, and otherwise function as it should... but there's no ground graphic. around the border of the map I can see what looks like the cloud effect that's normally there, and I can see a difference in height map in the High Hrothgar area. Also, the lighting seems off.. like the gamma is set way high now. Prior to 1.8 I had installed RCRN, and had been running with a number of the Nvidia recommended .ini tweaks and settings. I also run Cartographers map markers and IcePenguins quality world map with roads. Everything had been running just fine prior to the update. When I first loaded my save I was in an interior space (Helgen Keep, after visiting Riverwood, for S&G). Upon exiting the keep I noticed that either Nirn was much closer to the sun than it was before, or something was wrong with my lighting. Then I opened the map and noticed the other major issue. Figuring RCRN was conflicting with something somehow, I uninstalled it and the world is back where it's supposed to be, but still no map. I uninstalled quality world maps and cartographers, still no map. I reinstalled Ethatrons HQ3D map textures (manually) and still no map. I've checked my LOD settings, gamma is set to .850 in prefs.ini, RCRN is still uninstalled, archive invalidation is set, and i've run out of ideas. Anybody else have this issue?

Biteme Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I was using the Colored Map marker mod and it happened to me as well. Map quest markers and current location vanished but the compass markers were fine. Go into the Skyrim/Data/Interface folder and look for a Map.swf file. Copy and save to desk top (just in case) then delete the file from folder. I just did that and the map markers came back in all their boring plain white glory.

KMA Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 That would only work if you have a BSA file with another copy of map.swf in it. The game will not rebuild missing files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
