started new game...seems to be fixed
lostphoenix2001
games patched today (may 7th 2015) since then the game crashes whenever i go into the diplomacy screen and click any of the other races. just shuts the game off and boots me to desktop. this was done with a save game from the previous patch....I will start a new game and try it
I noticed that when I used a save game from the previous release I had the black starbases and anomalies...but when I started a new game the problem was gone.
the grid is too bright and now the planets, anomalies and starbases appear black rather than white. for those of us with bad eyes it makes the game almost unplayable the contrast between the grayish background of open space and the white planet/starbase/anomaly was much easier to see when zoomed out
