what the hell is this? :)

I think it's a small bug...

Are those the Thalans? (I can't quite make it out. Old monitor with older eyes.)

If so, I came across that once too. Only once and it was a while back. I think I had done a CTRL-N and got a CTD before reloading it. I abandoned that game after reading the debug.err and seeing that the AI's intelligence was reset to a lower level.

Similar circumstances? If so, just abandon it and be real careful with the picks on your next game.

I think he means the funny looking boarder that stretches all the way to the back of the map?

oooh I've heard of this problem, but I've never experienced it myself. I think it is just a problem with the graphics card or drivers or something.

Is this reproducible from a save game? If so, please zip the save game and send it in with the screnshot and your debug.err file to [email protected]

i would have thought it was just a weird calculation of the influence border due to some unique circumstance.

Throw in an influence starbase right in the triangle and see if it goes away.

Hmm no Cari, i cannot recreate it: after a turn it was auto-adjusted. Anyway it isn't a critical bug, the games works well, it make me only smile. Anyway if i'll recreate it, i'll try to send you the savegame. Two more things: 1) I cannot update the heightmaps from stardock.. it tells me that there's a new version, but when i try to upgrade, i got an error: "this file are not still avaiable" or something like this.. 2) On Stardock, where i'm replying now... the RETURN key does not work!! It's impossible to insert a newline into the message!!! It's a bit annoying.. more than the weird yellow lines

Try selecting GC2/DA from the listing in the main screen of SDC and updating manually rather than using the auto-update popup.
