3 seperate computers, 3 different OSs
Same problems between all.
Yes, pretty fucking easy to say.
And the tech support has been thoroughly useless.

it's such a bug ridden piece of shit, it hardly runs on win7 anymore even...dunno why I put off updating to win10.
Shame because it really is a fun game...when you can get it to work.

Other than using the editor and going around manually deleting (which is very tedious) them I don't think so.
For a strategy game there's far too much randomness in DW, it's part of it's charm at times, but I know how you feel.

The screen doesn't update instantly either. It's like quarterly or something.

<t> Spaceports everywhere. And I've been playing this game as long as most. Also mines everywhere.<br/>
The benefits of having a spaceport over a colony to me outweigh any imagined drawbacks (and that's what it seems like most of them are...especially since I think one of the last few patches took ...

<t> Also of note with the smugglers. If you haven't identified them with the trace scanner, blowing them up does hurt your reputation.<br/>
Yes, all those civilian ships hanging around that pirate base you just blew up are most assuredly ships of that faction but I guess galactic law presumes them ...

<t> It isn't broken...it just isn't overly useful.<br/>
It sorts by immediate need, unfullfilled and possibly in transit. So like if you put a bunch of build orders in you might see materials.<br/>
If you get a new colony with a race you didn't have previously you'll likely see specific luxuries ...

<t> The design settings have to do with the range the ship trys to maintain to target.<br/>
What you are looking for is under the fleet name, to the right of current mission.<br/>
It will say "engage X". Which are set by options>empire settings>default engagement stances - auto if the fleet is ...

<t> For anything other than explorers the range stat is pretty meaningless.<br/>
Especially once the game gets underway and you've got a level or two of fuel cell research done and more efficient reactors.<br/>
What warships are going to use moving around in fuel becomes trivial compared to their ...

<t> Current game I've got the whole galaxy explored and have gotten the "technology stash", which is pretty much the end of the RoTS story, other than finding their beacon, which I haven't found. It's possible my explorers have missed the ruins, since they seem to be good at that. In the meantime I ...

<t> The whole character system seriously sucks ass. I'm seriously tempted to go back to RoTS sometimes because of how bad it is. <br/>
What seems to influence admirals and captains bad traits are enemy ships escaping (especially if they attacked your bases/planets), and taking damage. The system ...

Still no beta update for 11. German only?
mordachai and data was there a point to your posts?
Considering I've been waiting about 5 months for some actual help with this problem you fanbois can kindly piss off if you don't have anything useful to add.

Well nice to see you're still alive elliot. Any ETA on this update? It's been like 5 months since I've been able to play, nice to have something to look forward to.

<t> Monitor connection??? Seriously. Are you going to waste his time for months like you did to me (ID:20127 still open), checking every ridiculous thing under you can think of.<br/>
I check here once in a while in the vain hope that I might find something useful.<br/>

Hey! Are you using ...

Yes. I also own the ...

<t> So the troubleshooting guide is pretty useless.<br/>
So is Matrix tech support who responded to my ticket with "Are you running any mods?" and hasn't responded again since.<br/>
A clean install of any patch version of Universe no longer works. My best guess is some Windows update in the last ...
