Goresh

Trying to start the game since new Alpha. Game crashes out shortly after opening game play screen.

Seems like the crash may not be due to Titanium research. If I switch research at the last autosave, it still crashes on the next move. Memory leak?

I cannot research the Titanium specialisation until every other tech in the branch is done. When I do finally research it, the game crashes out.

Ok, I finally worked out that I have to give everyone something to do before I get a turn button. Now I have the problem of a colony with all buildable tiles occupied without a starport. Since it can't build anything, I can't stop it being idle. Since I have an idle colony, I have no means of accessing the turn button, gameplay is stopped.

Many people are just going to want to jump in and play the game. I could not figure out how to end my turn. I managed to close the bottom control panel with no idea how to re-open it.

Was something supposed to happen after I activated the product on Steam, because there are no new game options?
