Tech Forum / Black map and no apparent fix.
« on: January 27, 2014, 12:16:37 pm »
Yesterday I decided to "go Travelbot" and explore rest of the map, especially South side.
When I got done, I came back to NU via teleport and got my normal body back.
Then, back in normal body I noticed that map is no longer defogging.
1.Several relogs, no change.
2.Erased that cache.local.sdb file - and everything in map window became just pure black (except for added location markers). Lost also already opened areas I was at least able to see before erasure. Even if I could'nt defog new regions.
3.Uninstalled game, erased Dedicated Logic folder under AppData/Local, erased Afterworld Survival folder under Documents. Started JetClean and went trough full system cleanup. Reinstalled game from scratch - After logging in, still black window with markers, no actual map.
4.Formatted drive, installed new windows, installed new game, from Full Installer - Still that black window and no map.
5.Repeated step 3. Reinstalled game from "Lite-Installer". - Still that black window and no map.
During relogs I watched that cache.local.sdb. It appeared the second I entered login data and from that moment, did not change. (compared file hashes)
6. Disconnected hardware firewall. Plugged WAN cable directly behind gaming PC, repeated Step 3. Installed game from Full Installer. - Still black area instead of map.
Does anyone has some additional advice to offer? I am clueless as to what else I could try.
Above mentioned "black map" looks like this

).. Ran off Mugen again, railroad bridge was on the screen visible when I met two Wolf Leaders and died.. I was still on the side of Mugen.. and revived in Surgut.. Then I decided not to take risk of being revived in Mugen again and ran towards North, shooting Steppe Spiders on the way and made it near forcefield towers (quite far North from Surgut).. and electricity failed..
