I am also experiencing this bug. I've tried various resolutions and get the same issue. I should note that this only ever occurs on the Mac client of Stronghold and have not noticed it on the PC / Steam client. It was happening in the previous update and continues to happen in the current one.

This bug also affects troop placement when attacking or placing troops in the castle.

If you could let us know if you are playing Windowed or Full Screen and what desktop resolution you are running.
Please try switching the game into full screen while using different resolutions (resizing SHK to different sizes/weird aspect ratios then click Window->FullScreen).
Are you using a single or multi monitor setup ?
If you still experience issues please post screenshot or video links, how you duplicate the issue and what system you are running on.

I've tried windowed and full screen, various resolutions (pretty much all that will allow me to see the entire game)

There's no way to really duplicate this, it just happens randomly. I just played for about 20 minutes and suddenly when viewing my castles it started happening. It always resolves with a game restart.

I am running two monitors but this happens even when i'm only running one.

My built-in display runs at 1280 x 800 and my additional monitor runs at 1680 x 1050 but again, i've tried a number of different resolutions with the same result.

Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F1134)

I have the same problem with this.

It doesn't matter what resolution, or screen size or which OS you are running on MAC, this always stuffs up. You can't place troops on walls, can't place troops on a battlefield to attack, and can't build castles!!

Get this sorted Stronghold, I have entered a few tickets with a response that you know about the issue, so get it fixed! Buy a mac and play on it for awhile!

When you logout, and log back in, it's still the same, you have to actually exit the game, and restart it!

Help!!

I have raised a ticket #112961
I am trying to get a screen video of the issues through to support but the video file is 1.3gb+ and goes for 30mins. I have shrunk it as much as I could. It's a detailed video and I think the tech support need to view the whole video so I don't want trim it up anymore. I have requested an email address to send it to, as when I upload a file it drags on and doesn't fully upload.
Issues are: Castle graphics messed up, unable to place troops correctly, and unable to place towers, guard houses etc. Attack formations messed up, unable to attack when it happens. Stockpile in village view is messed up. In game mail you cannot copy/paste from it into a browser, have to manually type in screenshot links etc into your browser. Very tiring if they are large links and so annoying. When these graphics go out of sync, it is pretty much impossible to play, logging out and then back in does not fix it, either does swapping servers, it is the same on every server. Only fix is to restart the game, a full exit and restart.

Can someone please bring this to the attention of the devs so I can send it through.

Thanks for mentioning this issue. We do want to resolve this and the coders have spent many hours looking into it. Unfortunately the issue is far more complex than it seems. If you could upload the video unlisted to YouTube and share the link with us. That would be very helpful.

Yes still a major issue, unable to play on the mac without constantly restarting the game, this issue needs to be looked at as a high priority, fix all your bugs in this game before opening new worlds, your player base will be a lot happier and you might get more players instead of losing them!!!
