GPU troubleshooting:
Many of you are having issues with your graphic cards and most of the time one tells you to update your drivers. I'm not saying you shouldn't but if you do, do it in a clean way as old drivers might still affect your system.
This is especially for nVidia and ATI gpu's:
1) download the latest driver but don't install yet
2) download drivercleaner pro and read the readme file (freeware)
3) install drivercleaner, don't run it
4) go to the properties of 'this computer' and open the hardware page
5) find your graphics card in the list, right click it and choose 'remove hardware'. Don't shut it down but REMOVE it totally.
6) restart system in Safe Mode (hit F8 on startup)
7) if a window appears telling you new hardware is found, ignore it and click cancel. If your system installs your gpu automatically, repeat 4) and 5)
8) run Driver Cleaner, choose 'Tools' in the menu and click 'Cab cleaner'
9) go back to driver cleaner using the menu, select your gpu branch in the drop-down menu and clean. Close Driver Cleaner
10) empty your bin
11) install the driver you downloaded
If you're still having graphic issues, don't blame it on the driver because it is clean now
(you may want to use nVidia forceware. Google for that)

@ developers:
Maybe these are already mentioned but still I have some minor ingame issues that might need your attention while working on a patch:
- freighters already trading can't be upgraded
- no difference between 'Arnorian Armor' and the armor researched before (dunno it's name, shame on me). Arnorian armor is more expensive, that's all.
I told ya they are minor
