Hi! We need more information to be able to tell what might be going wrong. Can you please attach the system_info.txt file, which you can find in:

• Windows: %localappdata%\0ad\logs\
• Linux: ~/.config/0ad/logs/
• OS X: ~/Library/Application\ Support/0ad/logs/

Issues like these are sometimes caused by driver bugs. As an initial step, can you try updating your drivers and let us know if that solved the problem?

Also, which map is that exactly?

[vls]

Map from Match Setup all is default. I look on grid and grid was empty in this location.

Thanks for the info :) What happens if you move the camera around to other visible parts of the world? (you can reveal the whole map with Alt+D > Reveal map)

It may be a driver bug. Your ATI drivers look up-to-date, have you tried the game with slightly older drivers?

We've made renderer changes since Alpha 9, but I'm not sure they would affect this problem.

[vls]

alt+d > Reveal map.

Driver change does not affect. On other maps rect not present. On VirtualBox i does not found this rect.

Cannot compile new ver, no time at all. sorry

If you're on Windows there's no need to compile, just checkout the SVN version (there is a prebuilt binary included). Or you can wait a couple of weeks for the next Alpha :)

If you do have the time/want to it would be nice if you could try the SVN version though so we could try and debug it in case it's something that's affecting more people/can be fixed for the next Alpha.

(Or if you're Ubuntu you can try the Dev PPA: ​https://launchpad.net/~wfg/+archive/0ad.dev )

Please let us know if this still occurs in the latest version of 0 A.D. and with updated drivers.
