Just downloaded the Beta from Stardock, started a fresh game and..... A 'minor' issue with the sun/planet graphics......Sol is about 3 quadrants across....yes, quadrants.....Makes for an obscene bright yellow background in the immediate area..... Any ideas on how I might need to reset my video settings to ....compensate ? Thanks

Reformatted Hard Drive over the weekend to start from scratch to try and isolate this issue. Latest drivers installed. The larger the map the worse the issue. I get Artifacts (junk) on my game screen after 50 or so turns on medium size map. Menus have funky (or no) background color, and some tabs on menus (like the load/save page) lose all wording (i.e. they are blank). Eventually it becomes unplayable and I have to sav
