man Im in some troubles.

I bought the game today, installed it and every thing worked fine (GalCiv2 DL only, no exp packs), played a while then decided to see if graphic really was on highest, so I went in and discovered it wasnt, changed it and restarted... what I find is everything is stuck in tactical mode, cant see spaceships, planets are stuck as small circles that display they're class and stuff, but come on! I want the real graphic as well!! I've reinstalled the game twice, wont help... been looking around all over the options in case I turned sumthing of, but everything seems fine. (and no, Im not stupid and keeping it on max zoom out, I do zoom in) help!! if its gonna stay like this I might as well just play sum Browser game...
