No map

[AnneFrankFanfiction]

I played Utopia immediately after release, had a good time. Came back to play it today and I have no map. The galaxy screen is just a gray overlay of stars. Attempting to "go to" my home planet just gets me an extreme close-up of the sun. In either case, I am unable to zoom in or out or pan around. The game simply doesn't seem to be loading the map at all.

I thought my saved game might have been corrupted somehow, perhaps by a patch or something, but a new game did the same thing. Verified integrity of the game through Steam, no affect. It was working fine just two days ago, so what gives?

Can you post a screenshot of this?

It's going to look exactly as I described, but sure, stay tuned

i have a similar problem, but instead of a gray overlay its just empty space, the galaxy is missing. I also can't go to anything else, just stuck staring at that

Just came back from a trip yesterday night. Yesterday it was ok. Today I get the same as you describe above. Grey overlay and empty space. Nothing is happening, unless I click the "Go to" button on the lower right on the screen. It'll display my homesystems sun in extreme close up. The camera will slowly rotate horizontally around the sun.

reverted back to 1.4.1. reverted back to 1.5 and installed 1.5.1 and the issue reappears....

I was able to fix the issue by unplugging my Xbox 360 controller. Absolutely bizarre that it could cause the issue, especially since I always have my 360 controller plugged in and it's never caused the problem before, but there it is.

I had the gray map issue too, to fix it I unplugged my controller as TrumpenReich said above, and I also run the following executables (a tip from another thread).

Steam\steamapps\common\stellaris\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSetup.exe
Steam\steamapps\common\stellaris\_CommonRedist\DotNet\4.0 Client Profile\dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe
Steam\steamapps\common\stellaris\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010\vcredist_x64.exe
Steam\steamapps\common\stellaris\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010\vcredist_x86.exe

When I rebooted it worked fine, hope it works for you too! good luck!

yes, unplugging the controller fixed it for me, too. Thank you!
