Whats happend to the map
No change here. You might want to check if your .dat needs repair.
Or your drive needs to be defragmented once in 10y (not for SSDs).
Maybe you’re just joining full servers? If there’re alot players around the loading time increases.

I think I’ve had that happen. If it’s the same issue, you’re talking about the mini-map when you first load into a zone, right? Mine stays all pixellated for a good 10-15 seconds after loading in, when before this patch it loaded as soon as the loading screen dropped. But then, server-side lag seems to be a huge issue lately, too, so it may be affecting the mini-map as well.

Yes that is the issue, also if I bring up the main map.
Sends my eyes cross-eyed, and gives me a bad headache.
Maps take for ever to load.
Ever since the last update.
Is it just me or do any1 else have the same problem?
Not 100% of the time, but frequently, the map is slow to load, then is grossly pixelated, finally loading totally after a several second delay.
I thought the map was clientside with only the volatile stuff sent from the client, but whatever it is, it’s caused by something ANET did in the last few patches, either the regular one of the several emergency ones.
Here too. Glad to see it’s not just me. Sad to see it’s not just me.

Happens to me all the time. Really annoying. I asked a friend and he’s been experiencing it too.
Looks to me like they are making refresh rate times longer every where to squeeze more people onto a server
