Colorful minimap

I know what that is 🙂.
This is a placeholder texture, which is usually small in size ( like 4x4 or 8x8 pixels), that's why it's so blurred. These placeholders usually have weird colors, so that they stand out and indicate situations where the actual texture failed to load. In this case, the minimap for KC failed to load and I think it might indicate some memory management issues(very likely from code), especially since it's there after the restart. I wonder if this always happens every time KC (or any other map) comes into rotation the second time during a single play session.
Anyway, @Koochi-Q I'd say you should know the map by heart, you're not a noobie, c'mon :P
- @DoYaSeeMe Yea, luckily I know the maps (unfortunately WE too) by heart... except for some places on olympus. It wasn’t so much an inconvenience as more of a ‘hey I’ve never seen this or heard about this before’.
Other thing was if someone pinged something, I could see it on the map if I opened it, but seeing the ping itself on the minimap wasn’t displayed at the right angle so that threw me off more than anything.
But thx for explaining. This has happend once on CoD map many years ago and thought it was funny as I thought ‘who actually uses the minimap’ and that was orange colored as well.
I got booted out of the game or else I could say if it would’ve stayed there even on other maps.
@MandatoryIDtag ohhh so it has happened to others (yea obviously, would be awesome if I’d be the first to encounter it), I never heard of it. In store and with pings? ;0- @Koochi-Q Ah. You have surpassed Apex and moved onto checkers/chess xD
- @GH0STEDbyME Apex checkers! Wipe the pieces away.
Great slogan. For the real brainiacs. Apex Chess! Take my queen (Wraith)! xD
@DoYaSeeMe -string line memory error- or something like that used to pop up when I'd get it on my pings.
Might aswell be mandarin to me, figure it makes sense to you? XD
@Koochi-Q Yeah, usually gets fixed quite quickly but its happened on a few occasions lol. 😛
The ping one was particularly annoying, especially when pinging an enemy as it was real distracting.
@MandatoryIDtagHmm, this means that more than just the texture was missing. Maybe there was not enough allocated memory available to store all the data and some of the minimap parameters didn't get their values, therefore generating an error.
@hayhorPretty sure this isn't a connection thing, as textures are stored locally.EDIT: actually if some connection problems would affect the normal process, preventing the correct memory cleanup, then...yea, kinda.
- @DoYaSeeMe Could be. When it happened to me other stuff was messed up too, like voice chat and stuff.
