<t> There is nothing but hoops to jump through.<br/>
<br/>
Support is useless - I finally get a reply telling me to log in to yet another page (the press area now, really? You can't even issue a new download link for your own game?) and the details they tell me to use do not work. The page wouldn ...

<t> They do provide a "Digital River" retrieval link but it demands yet another defunct login and password, states my order number doesn't exist and demands part of the card number when it was ordered with PayPal. Undoubtedly this is the most amateurish, unfriendly and unusable order system I have ...

<t> Well here I am still unable to play. Same thing happened before. If was interested in pirating it I would have had it quicker than it took to get legitimately even had it worked properly (and quite possibly even if I ordered the boxed version), so their absurdly backwards DRM is already far into ...

<t> Exactly the same situation here, having just bought Shadows under the naive assumption that you fixed the requirement to ticket a support desk just to download the games you already own. Last time I had to wait almost 3 days. Now I just got Shadows and the two expansion packs out of it but have ...

<t> Honestly this is pathetic - you still haven't fixed the bug where your (or their) empire randomly stops its wars even when your fleets are in the middle of battles. Happened several times in one war.<br/>
<br/>
Also I find it incredibly odd that the player empire should be reduced to pariah ...

<t> It's not clear whether the corruption setting only affects the player empire or the AI as well? I'd like to eliminate corruption (alien monsters as well) as its effects are pretty ridiculous at times, but not if that just gives an advantage to myself.<br/>
<br/>
Exporting some of these ...

<t> I see the issue with the sound volume control being bugged is still unfixed. Honestly this is a bit pathetic. Short of replacing all the SFX with blank audio files (removing them crashes the game) there is no way I can find to have this game run silently without blaring certain noises at high ...

I get all these errors even with a small sized galaxy on 1.02 and virtually nothing happening. I had hoped it would be ok in a small map but evidently not. Still completely unplayable.

New game on 1.02 - gives the same memory error as before. Crashed outright which it did not do before. Unplayable.

<t> I tried a quick game on "Galactic republic" and after a while it would generate a hundred of the errors in a row. Eventually it generated a stream of the errors which never ended and I had to kill the process. Looking forward to a patch.<br/>
<br/>
The sound issue I mentioned is definitely a bug ...

<t> I'm running in 2560x1600 on a large monitor and it is a bit silly - ui elements are absolutely tiny and I find myself peering into the corners a lot.<br/>
<br/>
More windowing and fullscreen options, and UI elements which increase in size/font size with resolution would be the easiest solution ...

<t> I have the exact same "memory" problem on a W7-64 machine with 12GB... happens every few minutes during gameplay and even on the menu now, but "continuing" is still possible without a full crash.<br/>
<br/>
However, now I'm getting this even in the main menu and get a "not enough storage is ...
