Sorry for not responding immediately, i reached the daily post limit.
As soon as I downloaded the game I put the graphics down because I knew it would lag a lot (very old pc). So no. I immediately encountered the issue. But as I said I re-installed the game and reset graphics to default and that also didn't fix it.
Using windows 7 (downloaded the vs2015 redist).
The game runs perfectly fine except for the fact that even when you build an outpost or make a unit go in to the unexplored areas they don't lighten up so it is impossible to see anything.
It could be because I lowered the graphics, though I reinstalled the game and reset the settings and encountered the same issue again.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
