SE5 Demo Bug Reports & Annoyances/Requests

I'm not sure where you got the idea that "cautiously optimistic" means anything other than what it is; optimism tempered with realism. And concerning "negative buzz"; almost all the comments so far (including my own) have been positive...

I'm not expecting a bug-free game, or a perfectly balanced game, and I'm CERTAINLY not expecting a game that's exactly like SEIV (because if it WAS exactly like SEIV, I'd just play that instead; it's more stable and I already own it). All I'm really interested in is the game-breaking bugs being fixed... and I'm quite certain Aaron will be able to at least squash the worst of them before it goes gold.

Kamog are you running in safe memory mode? It fixed the graphical issue for another guy which looked just like yours.

I have some similar problems, I found that they're usually confined to one of the dialog windows, and if I close that window (using the ESC key) and then reopen it, it's fine.

Thanks, I tried the 'safe' mode and it seems better; so far the graphics has not messed up.

Safe mode is the best fix for this problem. I had the same issue. However, you can also fix it by opening a small program, such as calc, and when your graphics mess up in SEV simply alt-tab to the calc program and then back to SEV. It fixes it for a short period but not for long.

Safe mode is the best fix.

At the end of a turn, it displays a warning "100% research points unspent" even though I have scrapped all my research facilities and have 0 research points.

Same thing happens for intelligence. It displays the points unspent warning even if you don't have any intelligence points to spend.

I've noticed that as well. I think they should kill those warning if you have no points to spend. After all, a warning that 100% of 0 research/intel is unallocated, is rather pointless...
