So, I may have found a better solution. I turned on the font smoothing in windows (right click on My Computer, then change to Advanced tab, select the Performance setting, and check the "Smooth edges of screen fonts" box). I got back the default game fonts without any FPS drop.

Have I missed something or don't we really know anything about the upcoming updates (namely 1.17 and 1.03)? Last official note what I know was announced on 2 May, stating that these would be released last week.

We all who have this problem should send them a letter to [email protected] attaching the dxdiag file. It may help them more.

Ok, I understand all. Thanks your help and guesses. And sorry for mistakes in my english.
Hi, I'm a bit confused about the new espionage system, exactly the new race-wide espionage system. It seems to be very easy to spy. I spend a small amount of money for spies, and once I get a new one, I place it on a race. So, in a nearly short time I can reach a high level in espionage by some races, without any counter espionage from the targets. And I don't find any real advantage in using the old style spying: placing spies on the planets. And what can make a spy be

Is it true? I don't remember any slowdowns similar to what I'm experiencing in SoaSE by some other games using bloom. And before Entrenchment, this game ran nearly flawlessly with bloom, too, if I don't fail.

Yes, as I wrote, they can get into a mutual alliance with each other. I don't know wether it has a real meaning, but one time I saw planet vision and ship vision agreements, too, between two AIs. But yeah, I except the similar, playing against hard AIs, you are their most important target much more time.
Does anyone know, how the diplomacy works between two AIs? If I watch a recorded game, changing the viewpoint to one of the AI players, sometimes I see the diplomacy icon flashing, and opening the diplomacy panel I notice some changes in its relation to other (e.g. new cease fire, planet vision agreements), however the relationship meter stays at zero.
Sad. The bloom can boost the feeling. And hides the illusion-breaking disappearance of ship bodies by most blowups.
Hi, is this normal, that the bloom drops down the framerate a lot? My game runs well on highest settings during bigger combats, too, but the bloom crashes the experience. I tried wide range of drivers, but no one could do it better. Any help, suggestion, experience?
I may have found a solution. I think, there must be something around the fonts used by the game. So, I copied a lot of fonts from my Fonts folder to the "[GameFolder]\Font" folder (typically it's the "C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Font\" path). And then, I edited the ListItem.font file, like this: TXT Font Height 14 &nb
Is there a manual for this expansion? I didn't find any. Thanks your help.
Hi, I'm playing Sins of a Solar Empire on a machine with 9800 GTX card. I turned the AA with 4 samples on. It works fine, but the edges of the objects not so close to the camera become "flickering" white lines. So, in a big distance every small objects get "white fur", and it's not so beauty. Can you help me? Regards, trigorin
Well, the "disappearing starbases" effect is here again. [img]http://kepfeltoltes.hu/080614/GC2TA_missing_starbase_1_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg[/img] And I got the "Invalid call" crash again, however I installed the v1.92 alpha patch.
A guy from the Stardock suggested me to send my problem to [email protected]. He didn't mention the one-way communication there :) I installed the SmartException, too, but it could get the CTD of the game only once. Since this it doesn't seem to work (I think it must be my mistake, I will look after it). And about the ALT+TAB: I get the CTD when I'm going back to the game, not by switching to the desktop. But I will try it. Thank you.

Hi, I have some relevant graphical problems since TA has been installed. I started a topic about it (in a wrong forum, I know, sorry), and I wrote some mails to [email protected], but I didn't get any answer nor help yet (this means for more than a month). For the first time I experienced that some starbases disappeared completly from the game. Then I usually get a big framerate drop by some ships (nearly 5-7 FPS) until I scroll the camera taking these out of the field of vision. Th
I posted a more detailed message with saved games and error report to the given support mail a week ago, but I haven't got any reply. I hope, you got it. Oh, and the SmartException couldn't realize now the crashes of the game with "Invalid call" message.
OK, I will follow your instructions by my next game. Thank you for your attention and help.
Hi, I bought the expansion (I installed the v1.91, too) and I've played a round with it. I'm a bit sad, because I experienced some bugs. 1. There may be some memory leaks, because after loading the game, I often see lags in different parts of the game. In most cases a duplicated ALT+Tab helped to resolve it, but in the last some cases I've got an "Invalid call" error message during this action and the game flown out. 2. The combat viewer is flickering and flashing in certain
