In preparation for this Friday's FSO (11/4/16), I went to the Special Events arena to get the Italy terrain. Once the terrain opened the clipboard map was for Tunisia and the field layout was for Italy. See attached image.
I deleted the Italy.res file and download it again from the Special Events arena but got the same results.

I just went in there, it downloaded the Italy terrain for me, and the CBM shows Italy for me.

While in FSO, I realized I was only getting the lower-left section of the Italy map and it is not the Tunisia map. See attached. I will try and do a fresh install of the game and see if it fixes the problem.

I moved this to Technical Support until we can get more details.
It is quite possible for a different terrain map to be displayed, but the circumstances are very specific.
1) User has a terrain loaded (Tunisia).
2) Exits offline/online, then goes into a arena which has Italy loaded. Italy downloads and installs.
3) User does not see the Italy map in the clipboard, but does see the Italy field layout. The background is left from the previous Tunisia terrain due to a failure to load the Italy background.
Does that pretty much cover it?
That is the only way we can see having a different terrain map loaded from the terrain selected.
Need confirmation.

HiTech caught it. What has happened here is the Italy map is being draw, but at the wrong scale. There was not scale (MDM) file submitted with the terrain so the game is using the last scale setting to draw it.
It is just a matter of whoever the terrain designer is needs to go into the Terrain Editor and set the map size, then resubmit it.
We are going make a change to the Editor so it will check for that file, in the future.
