SE5 Demo Bug Reports & Annoyances/Requests

That's fairly normal for 3d games actually, and it shouldn't affect your actual system performance.

Um..I can’t speak to that, I don’t do much 3D gaming. But I fail to see what would cause it to do that. Once the flat window loads, it’s only playing music while it waits for user input.

A friend of mine had a ship get cargo bombed leaving it with no supplies but it still had full movement point that turn. Only after I went to the next round did the game recognize that the ship had no supplies and reduced its speed.

Also, the same friend built an 18 ship fleet but whenever it would move it would run out of supplies after 1 turn of movement. Mind you the fleet was fully supplied but when they moved in a fleet they used many times the supplies they should have. When the ships were all taken out of the fleet they functioned normally and did not brun supplies so quickly.

Not quite... it is re-rendering the screen repeatedly, trying to maximize the frame rate.
The downside to directX and 3d engines in general...

I apologize if this was brought up already. I haven't read the entire thread.

While creating your empire you are able to select your empire logo (this is a neat little feature, BTW). Later, after you start the game, you will encounter other players - the AI obviously - that may have the same logo.

I think when the game creates the other empires for your game it should chose empire logos that are not in use currently.

Is this possible? Has anyone brought it up?

It's actually been fixed in the upcoming first patch.

Alright, that's good. I haven't seen the patch fix list since 1.05 and even at that, I didn't read through every line. I'm glad to see that it is fixed. Go Malfador!

Thanks, Kwok!

This is a minor graphical one, and I don't know if it was brought up before, but:

Is there any way to center ringworlds and sphereworlds around the star?
Is that moddable or does it require a patching?
