My line types no longer "connect" after i updated to civil 2025

I don't know how to explain this exactly and i apologize if i am using poor terminology. 
If i have a line type that is dashed connected to another line in the past on every version from 18-23 that i used  it would always not put the dash at the connecting point. Now with 2025 it happens very frequently, and when i am trying to align points to line work or vice versa it can mislead me to think there is a gap at that point. I am hoping this is a setting somewhere, as now i have to manually change the line each time it happens or draft out in another non dashed line type and change it back when i am done. I attached a screenshot pointing to what i mean i hope clarifies further.

Check the setting of PLINEGEN or Linetype Generation in the properties menu for that object (at the bottom).  It looks like this was originally set to OFF and now its ON.

 

Adjust the setting of PLINEGEN in the template.

When you set PLINEGEN to 0 did you type Regen thereafter. It wont show the affects otherwise.

If you are trying to make existing polylines behave, then set the property called Linetype Generation to Disabled. For new polylines to have the setting automatically applied, set Plinegen = 0.

Are you working with lines or Plines? (Polylines)

 

A file with a few problem lines would help us evaluate the problem.

These are just normal "l" command lines, not poly.

Your lines look fine on my computer (see 1st image). Try adjusting your video card with GRAPHICSCONFIG command. Change the 2D Display settings from Advanced to Intermediate or Basic (2nd image)

This was it! 

Thank you we recently changed pc's that had  a much faster processor, but less on the Gcard side. Cad has been much faster, but didn't even think this could be the issue.
