Miscellaneous

Ships won't fire during combat

During some battles, your ships will be unable to fire upon enemy ships, even though the attack icon appears.[8]

Game window will not lose focus

The game window, whether fullscreen or windowed, remains in-focus, even if you move to a window on another monitor, Alt+Tab , etc. This is a known issue.[9]

Left-Clicking and Dragging not working after reloading saved game

Enable v-sync[10]

Issues fixed

Dismissing bugged general deletes all ships from all planets

During the game, you will get a new event where you will be asked to dismiss or remove a general. There is a chance the named general will be bugged and have nothing but 0's in his name. If you dismiss this general, all your ships on all your planets will be permanently deleted.[11]

Move bugged general off stationed planet[citation needed]
  1. When the "Dismiss a General, or Refuse" event occurs with a bugged general, refuse to replace him.
  2. Find the planet where the bugged general is stationed, then fly him off the planet.
  3. The general may now be replaced.
