Mini-map problem--stars can hardly be seen

I am running a huge sized game. I just started playing DA after long playing
DL.

The stars and planets in my mini-map are hardly visible in DA compared to the same sized map in DL. I have a feeling that something in the options might fix it but I don't know what. I have tried several things in the video option but so far nothing works. The rest of the main screen is fine.

I am playing 1024x72x on a 17 inch monitor. I know that with a huge map it is hard to see things on the mini-map even in DL. But with the same sized map in DA, the stars and planets are way too dim.

If you got the latest DA beta patch off SDC, it has new (much faster) minimap code, which has resulted in thinner lines and smaller dots, at least for now. It's still being worked on AFAIK.

Thanks Kryo. Yes, I do have the latest patch. I played DA about a month ago and I don't remember having this problem. I need bigger, brighter dots. It's not a problem if I zoom in.
But I often like to be zoomed out on the mini-map. I was wondering if there was a Hubble telescope improvement that would fix the problem;)

Is it possible to back up to an earlier version? How would you do it?
Would I have to start over from scratch?

If you uninstall DA and turn off the 'show prerelease versions' option in SDC, you should be able to then install 1.5x3 if you want it.

Yes, uninstalling and rolling back to 1.59.081 worked. Mini-map now looks
the one in DL.

I hope this gets fixed on the next go round.

Thanks!
