I apologize if this has already been reported. I've searched the forum and attempted to find if this has already been posted on here.

When I attempt to invade a planet, the game brings up the invasion screen with the forces on either side. Then the screen goes black and the only thing I can see is a small area around my cursor. When I move the cursor, the window of what I can see comes along with it. If I find and click the button on the invasion screen, it seems to process normally, but once the battle is over the screen goes black and nothing happens.

The game never really crashes though. I eventually have to window out and kill it with the task manager.

This problem happens ONLY at the planet invasion screen. (weird side note; I had 2 of my planets invaded without this occuring. It's only when I invade an AI planet and am going to win).
