Tagged Hardlines Not All Showing On Atlas

It's a bug... Some districts are very wide or tall and the atlas has to zoom out a bit to show the whole district. in these zoomed-out districts the hardlines don't show. Soooooo annoying.

This is usually caused by a fault while patching. Run the launcher with the "full system check" option activated. It's a little switch near the bottom of the launcher.
