Graphics bugs in Ultimate 2.02

July 17, 2009 9:42:21 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Hello, I seem to be having a couple of graphical issues with this game and was wondering if the community had any suggestions.  First, I cannot use the ship designer because as soon as I open it the ship starts spinning extremely quickly on the horizontal axis.  This happens with all races and classes.  Initially I thought there was some kind of input error so I unplugged all my peripherals but the darrned thing just kept on rotating.  Second, in the main screen during a game the starfield (everything but the interface bar) goes black when I try to change perspective or strafe the view.  I tried moving around on the minimap, but this does nothing.  after about 30 seconds of this I get the screen back.  My debug.err file seemed pretty normal, but I'm including it anyway in hopes that wiser heads might find something of use there.  Thanks in advance for your responses and assistance.
