The image of the diamond under harvesting shows the polished version, not the raw.

After finishing reading Tin smelting I got the message:
You finished researching Tin Smelting: Copper Smelting allows you to smelt tin ore into bars

Just to clear things up: I am a "harvester-manufacturer"and don't fight, but I am not oblivious
I normally go to beam to heal others, but since there seemed to be some critters I could handle, I decided to join in the fun and had a blast. -
I was following the invasion on ch 6 while harvesting and then saw the critters (in NC). I hit one in the head with my pickax and ran to storage to dump my ex cape and don some leather and had loads of fun. I have mm so never need to fight, but enjoyed this a lot. Great job! Good buildup, so even if you get surprised you are not dead meat right away. Good practice avoiding multiple cats and beaming out. If the next one is as much fun as this, there will be one less healer at beam

I finally had some time to try and contribute to this topic. I logged on to the test server with the latest el.exe from both my laptop (has intel card and problem) and desktop (no problem), and made sure all the settings were equal.
I did my experiments in Iscalrith underground at (544,643) during daytime. From my results presented below I get the idea that it is not a problem with an item on the map, but rather the vertical extend of the wall or some similar property of the large scale structure of the map.
My laptop has an Mobile Intel 915GM/910GML Express Chipset Family Video card with driver version 6/6/2006 6.14.10.4609 (most recent version), the laptop itself is an Inspiron 2200, 1.4 GHz, 512 M RAM.
This machine is running windows XP home.
The desktop is an Alienware with 2.4 GHz Pentium and 1 GB of RAM and an ASUS A9600 video card, also running Windows XP.
First observation was that the darkness problem on the laptop also occurs when I am NOT ON the testserver, that is, if I look around while not logged on, I get blackouts in certain areas in Iscalrith underground.
I have also tried to reproduce the problem at night, and find no day/night differences in behavior.
Once the screen is dark, tilting/rotating with the arrow keys to previously ok places often leaves it black, but this disappears as soon as I click with the scroll button on the mouse (middle button, used to control camera angles). This effect does not completely reproduce, but it does seem to make a difference how I move the camera. It seems like the mouse button toggles the black/visible thing a bit.
Zooming in/out does not affect when the screen goes black, but tilt angle has a large effect.
Below I have reproduced a bunch of screenshots from different angles with otherwise the same settings on the PC and Laptop.
I am available the next couple of days in the evening (European time) if further experiments might be useful. I hope this sheds some light on this issue. I have not tested the location in Idaloran, but hope this helps already.

[edit 27-may: replaced pictures with new screenies from laptop with latest exe and replaced chat_log & error_log for laptop. Screenies are with larger window size to allow for info to be displayed properly. No difference in behavior with previous posted screenies]
