No Map, Only Seeing The Crosses

Hi, this is the problem, the first time i press tab after loading the game i will see the map for a split sceond and then it will disapear leaving only the Xs showing mine and npcs positions. If i turn the map on and off again it will just not appear, only the first time. ive tried changing resolution, map transparency, everything pretty much i guess its probably my graphics card (which driver is upto date) my gfx card is a Raedon hd 7450m but it also says theres a intel hd graphics family or something, in game i can only select the intel hd, but game runs fine on max gfx im not sure if it means i have 2 gfx cards or something
sorry i know i cant spell or be grammactically correct haha

I had the same problem too, it's because you have your graphics settings too high, because youre using in-board graphics you might wanna put on basic shadows, no texture filtering and turn off vertical sync, if your restart turning off these graphics settings ( also maybe post processing ) then you should have your map back :D I had the same problem. Although it still dissapears when im in a party, but solo it's fine :)

i dont wanna use inboard graphics i wanna use the raedon card but i cant select it, game runs fine on max graphics, however turning off post processing and/or variance shadows made the map show up, someone else i just talked to ingame has the same problem with the same gfx card

its me with the problem and I have the same card its a good card but the map is not coming up I think due to resolution problems..

Im having mine go to 730 custom
and i set it to 768.. which is what my card likes.
keeps changing it to 730.

Apparently its the shadows i just turned that downa nd it worked. And also post processing

not resolution problems for me, map works on all. its the shadows n post processing, what does it say under adapter for you?

this guy found a fix that worked for me

right click in the poe folder and choose configure switchable graphics, change client.exe from unassigned to high performance and now the map works with post processing and variant shadow maps
