I have noticed that in 2 out of my 3 last Maps there is a White Line in the top of the Screenshot on the Forum.

These 3 Maps are my latest, the 1st and 3rd have the Line the seconds seems ok.

3rd - http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=27258

Map Sizes are:

Map 1 = 300x420
Map 2 = 380x260
Map 3 = 360x360

This could mean that the Line only appears when a Map is >260 [or 280, 300 but somewhere under 360]

I have noticed a couple of times when i am in the Editor and i Load in the Editor before the Map appears the Screen flashes a frame [or 2]

I have a strange feeling it's my VideoCard but i hope not.

Any thoughts?

The map thumbnail is not generated by your video card. Must be something else strange. I'll alert Virgil about this, but don't expect much until next week.  Even then, maybe just an acknowledgement.

That is odd...
The screenshot is is taken at the time you finalize the map.  It will be stored in a file in a location like this:
c:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\My Games\particlefleet\finalized\Your Map\screenshot.jpg

The screenshot is taken from within the game.  The game attempts to not include anything odd like editing controls, etc.  But there is always some chance I missed something.  I'd try creating a new 500x500 map as a test.  In the editor just set a title and description and then finalize it.  Look at the screenshot.jpg that is generated and see if it looks ok.  You can also check the screenshot files for the maps you have uploaded to see if they have that white line.  The absence or presence of the white line on those screenshot files might help narrow down the problem.

Thank you K and V for the reply.

I have made a Blank 500x500 Map and the Screenshot is ok.
I have made some Land on it and coupe of emotters and units -> Screenshot = ok.

So the thing is to figure out what it is that triggers the Issue.
At the moment i don't know.

I will see if i can come up with some more info.
