Whole map shrowded in FoW

If you are playing on a Gigantic map, and your home planet is at the far right or top of the map, then yes (there is a bug in the latest patch which leaves the far right and top sectors of gigantic maps permanently shrouded in FoW; a fix should be released very soon, according to SD).

In fact it should be released today sometime, according to one the devs who posted that info last night. And the problem isn't restricted to the far right/top sectors, I've seen it happen on all sides. Though not at the same time, it's usually restricted to one or two sides at a time. But those sides can be anywhere.

i have gotten this bug too but mine is only in sections of the map i am using a gigantic map

Any info about the patch yet? It's not that the game is unplayable this way, but it's... ummm... quite annoying And I heard there's another gamebreaking bug, about a wrong defense type in battles... does anyone know what it does exactly, and will the patch fix it?

Well I guess we won't see it today, they've all probably gone home now. Hopefully tomorrow.



It is for me.



Defences of the wrong type are giving bonuses against weapons that they aren't supposed to do. So for instance Deflectors are providing substantial defence against Missile weapons. I don't fully understand the mechanics of it but that's the basic gist of it. It's not exactly game breaking but it sure throws things off kilter. It's making defences far more powerful than they should be. And yes, hopefully it will be in the patch too, though no one knows for sure.
