Description Paul Blew 2013-12-30 11:00:21 EST
When scrolling left and right on the map in Settlers 4 (hold down right mouse button and move the mouse), the landscape graphics get corrupted.  Scroll up and down, and these corruptions usually correct themselves.

Building svn-462 locally, this looks to be resolved. :-)  Will confirm when 0.5.3 is released

This may have been resolved in r446 which fixed blitting to and from the same surface.

One thing that seems to have been introduced since this was resolved is that the cut-scene videos no longer appear during game start-up.  I can hear the sound, but the screen is blank.  This worked in DXGL 0.5.2.

A couple of other glitches:

* after playing for a period of time (can be 5 - 60 minutes), either large areas of the landscape render as black or the game graphics stop updating completely. Switching to the desktop and then returning to SIV seems to return rendering back to normal in either case and I am able to continue the game for another 5 - 60 minutes.

* pressing PrtSrc should create a screen shot in 'C:\BlueByte\The Settlers IV\Grab'.  The image file is created, but all it contains is a black and white, distorted view of my desktop.

Do you want me to raise separate issues for these three items?

Yes, please.

Setting this bug as fixed because it is not occurring for me and I have likely fixed it.
