Taking a wild guess, you have probably set a filter on your map, but without more information and maybe a screenshot or two, it's going to be hard for anyone to do more than guess.

Thanks for your reply.

I have not set any filters. Well not since day one.
I’m playing vanilla 2.21
This has happened 2 days on the trott. This time required 2 reboots.

My system is Rick solid. New build just for this game. Os on one ssd and x4 on another ssd. 16gig memory. Gt1060.intel i7

As far as I’m aware nothing has changed no new drivers etc.

Yesterday 1 reboot fixed it and today 2.

I’ve run chkdsk and defrag

If from Steam, have you verified the X4 gamefiles cache recently?

I have only done that once before.

I will do it again and see if that solves it.

thank you very much
