Graphics problems in map view

[yay]

I'm experiencing some strange graphical glitches in map view. They usually appear when leaving a town or village. They can go away after some time, but usually stay until I restart the game. (Save & Exit, then load does not solve it, I have to exit Warband and restart it).

I'm running version 1.134 Native. I have an ATI HD 4850 with the latest drivers.

Any suggestions as to how I can solve this?

Do they clear up if you alt+tab out and back in?

Try DX7 mode and see if they still occur.

Also have you checked the card isn't overheating?

I get this problem too (with an ATI HD 5700).  I found if I go into the graphics options and turn HD mode on/off it fixes it (albeit temporarily).  This is a brand new machine (less than a week old) and I never had this problem on my old computer (had an GeForce GTS 240 in that one).

*edit* Just found out that if I alt-tab out and back in it fixes it.  No idea what's causing the problem though, would love to fix it if I could!

I've encountered that rarely, alt-tabbing seems to clear it up.

The latest ATI drivers have a hate-hate relationship with Warband on some folks' machines.

Options, in descending order of "fixing":
-Use Catalyst Driver version 10.6 or earlier.
-Open up the game_variables.txt file in the Module\ folder of the module you're currently playing. Add a hash mark # in front of the lines near the top that say new_buffer_size
-Alt-Tab in and out of the game whenever it happens.
