Handful of minor issues

I started playing TotA this morning and have noticed a few minor issues and one not so minor.

1. In the map I am playing there is an image of a ship in the southern corner decked out with heaps of lasers. The ship doesn't exist in game-space.

2. When scrolling through the starbases after double clicking on one, the forward arrow (>) gets stuck after the first of the starbases that was built. The back arrow works fine. The forward arrow works until it get back to the first starbase built.

3. In the planet view, the new imagery looks great at 1920 x 1200 resolution, but the older models look very disjointed (starbase, farm etc).

4. The planet invasion screen doesn't look good playing wide-screen and there is the same resolution problem as listed above.

5. If you alt-tab out of the game and then go back in again it always crashes to desktop (this is the major problem). The game appears stable other than this.

They know about the problem and are working on it. Try running windowed mode. You can set the game to the same res as your desktop/monitor. The only thing this should effect is that alt-tabbing won't crash the game. You can even run it at normal res if you like without all that stretching.

Oh, I love the wide view on the rest of the game. It plays awesomely on wide screen so I wouldn't want to lose that aspect.

After the game had crashed (problem 5) I reloaded it and the ship in problem 1 had disappeared.

This is a great game, by the way. I love the changes to the tech tree.

Just to clarify: You don't have to use normal res aspect ratio when using windowed mode, you just can.

As always, check that you have the latest video card drivers.
