(Note: If you have similiar problems as described here, please post. I want to find out more about it.)

The screenshot below illustrates a bug I have been having since 0295. It doesn't always happen but sometimes it does.

Basically, during the startup of the game, the camera gets "locked" into a moving in a certain direction and my sovereign just drifts away on the wind. You can see there there is a spot that I can see, my starting "playfield." My unit is not there, he is in the far corner, a little speck in the darkness.

At other times throughout the course of testing this game, my sovereign has wobbled faster than photon particle drunk on sambuca cruising on the I-95. This happens whenever I try to move him. I might say wobbling, but probably I mean jerking back and forth from the tile he's moving to and the tile he's coming from, but it sounded dirty in the above sentence.

I have also had my sovereign abruptly fly away during these wobble-moments, where instead of jerking back towards his starting tile, he rams forward and flies literally off the edge of the map. I've had him turn into a city, disappear from the game, and undergo all sorts of wild adventures that have nothing to do with playing elemental.

I've posted several bug reports about this in the beta forum before. I'm doing a post in the general forum because I want to find other users who are having this same problem, find out what's causing it, and then resubmit a bug report with more information that hopefully can track down and crush this obnoxious bug.

Some details: Windows XP SP3 on a modern ATI card with drivers up to date.

Thanks all.
