Map is Blank

I would say that this is normal, as the map is only revealed through exploration.

I don't know whether there is an entry for the permissions to unlock the map directly (but it would make sense in my opinion)

Make sure your graphics driver is up to date and that there's plenty of free space on the drive.

can you possibly post a screenshot here?

I'm not quite sure what you can see or what you expect to see

ah ok .. no land in sight.... I assume you are on some!

that is strange and of course not normal... maybe red has an idea why that could be. I'll see if I come across something like that too

serious .. ? ? got a 4tb disk and drivers are always updated.. even other players map are blank. they see markers etc but nothing else.

Yes, I was serious. There are a few different things that can cause that glitch, those being two of the most common and easiest ones to start with in trying to diagnose the cause. Did you manually check to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date or are you relying on what a program is telling you? Sometimes software doesn't tell you there's hotfix patches, minor update iterations and only will tell you when there's a major iteration update so it's always better to manually check, especially with Unity being so picky at times.

Have you tried going to a different island far off your starter one and seeing if that one loads? Is your island one that the game generated or one that you blueprinted and placed in the world?

Did you create a superflat world? Or is it a regular world (i.e with mountains, hills etc)?

Do you mind sending a report (after opening the map)? To do that, open the map, then open the console (key ~ or `) and type "report". Add a brief description like "map is blank" and send the report

Thanks for the report! It's not a clientside issue, it's definitely a serverside issue. It seems that there is a problem if a high map resolution is used - apparently there is a resolution of 4096 set for map tiles (in the server.properties). We will fix this issue with the next update

Please try this: First, shut down the server. Then open the server.properties file and change Settings_MapTileResolution to 1024. Now go to the "Worlds" folder into the particular subfolder of the server world and delete the "Map" folder there (it contains the already generated map tiles, which are broken in this case). Restart the server - the map should work properly now
