BETA 5 PATCH 2
I have noticed a few gameplay bugs
- Only Earth's moon will orbit the planet any other moon stays stationary
- I loaded a game back up and some of the explored space went back to unexplored space but I could still see the stars and planets and etc
- Shadows seem to be to bright from the planets (maybe my monitor settings but usually its pretty spot on)
- Planet names are under the planets (not sure if its meant to be that way) and shield icon, radiation icon etc seem to be very high above the planet and jump around in a glitchy fashion
- No way to get back to your star port after entering the ship designer you have to back all the way out and click back into the star port
- Game continues to run after it is closed and have to manually force close it from the task manager
- Backgrounds and cinematic's edge pixels bleed across my other 2 screens (I know not a major worry as eyefinity isn't high on the priority but release is coming soon)
I also wanted to point out that a windowed tech screen and etc was much better then the current full screen (that was implemented in BETA 3 or 4) for users with multiple screens. I know a bulk of people don't have multiple screens yet but every day more do as its getting much cheaper these days as you can pick up a Radeon R9 270X and 3x21" 1080p screens for under $500 and have enough power to run almost any game in 5760x1080 in medium to high settings and can really help on the productive side of things by having multiple windows open and make it easier to work on many things at once.
Multiplayer bugs
- Game crashed while AI was making his turn
- game will hang and sometimes crash when starting next turn
- no way to close the chat window once someone types in it
- You can modify the planet building queue but unable to see the change until its your turn
Mulitplayer missing features
- No way to make a private game, a simple solution would be adding a password option
- Hybrid turn option would be very nice but at least more control over things you can do to plan your next turn
- Notification when its your turn when you're on another screen like the ship designer and ability to minimize the ship designer without loosing your design when its your turn
Will post screen shots when I get the chance and add more when I can think of them
