Graphical Bug - all units/obj on map dissapear

I seen number of people report this bug in past, I never had it happen until today...

Here is a picture of how it looks like... its actually picture of my buddy getting the same graphical glitch:

Basically all units dissapear, u can see map contours, grass and if there is water u can see the bottom but no water.... you can see explosion effects and smoke, but you cant see any units, I tired changing every option in game while playing online and could not fix this, although my friend had this glitch go away on its own once. The bug occured for me when I was investigating a puma wreck. This is quite terrible graphical bug, when exited online session and started another everything was fine then... but when this occures you are forced to basically quit the game.

This is caused by a shader compilation bug it happens from time to time nothing to worry about.
Restating the game recompiles the shaders and the bug should be gone.
Even minimizing and maximizing could help.

I have deleted the shader cache folder under documents\mowas\... to make sure. I know you saying this is nothing to worry about as in its not sign of my hardware dying but it is a problem when you are in a long game and this occurs. My friend had this occur and it went away by itself, I had no such luck. I am refering to the same game this occurs. I tried all kind of options and minimzing etc... but no go. Good news is that in about 300 hours of gameplay this is first time this ever occured to me so at least this bug is rare. Thanks for reply!

Further findings.... I had this bug occur twice on overlord, but it would happen and then 10-20 seconds be fine again, 2 of my friends had it happen past 2 days on overlord as well and it would only occur for short time... but the fact its occuring lately. Further, the times me and few of my friends had it happen on battle of the bulge, it would never fix itself until u quit the mission.

I just wanted to bring update on this bug, its rare however I managed to solve it this time when it occured. I had it happen on Overlord while I was on the hill on the right side driving a tank. What worked to fix it was to switch full screen box to unchecked and then alt tab to windows and back, then everything was fine again.
