Forum:Explored map sections disappearing

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone else shared a certain problem I've been having and if maybe there was a fix for it. I am running F3 GOTY 1.7 and sometimes sections of the map that I've explored and have the correct appearance in the Local Map section of the Pip-Boy just disappear and fade to black as if they were unexplored. This commonly happens in small squares maybe 10x10 feet. For example, a square of that size is blanked out over each entrance to Fort Bannister every time I explore that place. It explores correctly at first and it's only later, when I'm leaving or re-visiting and area, that it becomes apparent that something's missing. Another extremely common place for this to happen is Megaton: I fully explore the city and have all the markers in place on the Local Map, go see Moira, step outside, and the central third of the map is blanked out. It is always a predictable pattern that fades, depending on location, and in the case of Megaton it is not square but a rounded blob.

I hope I have explained my problem well and welcome comments. Thank you. 66.30.202.87 02:43, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
