The thing is, in the second step, I launched a clean game, but with your executable file and without the 5.5 mod installed. Could the icons have shifted because of this? I only have a few mods installed, and a standard game has never given me such a visual bug; I've been playing with them for about eight years, but I decided to try to fix crashes on huge maps using your executable file.
MMh55 exes are not supported with ToE because they include some graphical changes that require specific XDB files.
What I can suggest is to use this patcher on standard ToE exe to extend the memory use from 2 to 4 Gb.
This way you won't need MMH55 exes and will achieve the same effect!
