Is anyone else having problems with the local map?

Sometimes, after performing or even after re-loading a quick save, the local map stops revealing any new area I have covered, and all I get to see is the "my position" arrowhead on a black background. Haven't found any way of restoring proper function to the local map, unless I re-load an old save.

I have a vanilla installation of Morrowind and Tribunal installed, ( no add-ins or extras )

sometimes happen to me, just keep moving and it will return to normal.

Note : some area will stay black on the map. normally happen in areas that needs loading.

That happens to me too when I'm walking around in the wilderness. Don't know what causes it.

Hmmmm .. Map function did come back after a while, but it didn't restore all the area that I have travelled over ...

A possible solution found !! [img]graemlins/cat3.gif[/img]

Using the menu map, ( by clicking on the top right to make it stay open after you get rid of the other menu windows ) instead of the mini map at the lower right of the screen, seems to fix the problem !!

When you recall to somewhere, the game gets a bit confused: it will think of your current position as the one where you casted recall. Maybe it affects the map as well?

It was only after saving, or loading from, a quicksave, that the map problem happened to me.
