Wierd thing going on, Im playing gal2 Dark Avatar i make it to late game and some but not all of the enemies ships are invisible. They have no model nor bar icon but still have the zoomed out icon. if you look at one in system theres a box where its icon should be and if you click on it you can see the stats, also if you fight 1 without full battle it will kill it but in full battle game crashes, crashs also if you try to see the ship model in intel report. Now before i updated i did not take note of what ships/ races were affected but i updated to 1.8 and it happeded again and this time i took notes.
thalan constructer m4
thalan defender m4
thalan escort m4
i didnt play further to see more and as far as i saw only thalens were affected this game as terran had m4s and were fine.
Im pretty sure everything on my computer is fine driver wise and all of my models and pieces ive used in ship design have worked fine. I have Vista 64.
