Has anyone else seen the following bug? While the menu animation is running or while playing the game, if I click on certain areas of the screen, I get a warning message "No Disk Present in Drive D:. Insert Disk." I do not have the CD version of the game. This bug showed up in one of the early 1.20 versions (I think). I'm currently running 1.20.087. I'm running WinXP but I think it showed up on my Win98 machine before I got the new one. Thanks, Joe ~SDC~

I haven't checked through the entire list of bugs, but I noticed that when a Colony ship reaches a planet, you can Colonize a different planet by switching to that planet's view. This happened on 1.01; I haven't tried on 1.01a.
Hi Russell, I'm sorry to tell you that this is a problem I had with the Beta in September and still have with the released version. I don't think the CD would help and don't think you messed anything up with your d/l. You can try moving the *.bik files out of /Setup and make certain that ThreadedInitialLoading = 0 in prefs.ini At least that will keep your machine from locking up. Joe
OK, I've got the same problem I've had since last September. The program loads and locks the computer. I turned off power and re-booted. I then moved the *.bik files out of Setup. The program now loads, doesn't lock up the computer, but does not do anything. The Menu doors are painted, but there is no functionality. Cari has the details on this problem (if she's saved all my e-mails). Joe
Thanks. Did the typos in the first part of the game get fixed. Some were in the 1st starbase construction scene and I can't remember where the others were and can't bring the game up the verify them. Of course if the new cutscenes have replaced these screens, "never mind".
Brad, I hope you mean "old bug long since fixed but not in the latest build" since I don't get an update when I log onto Drengin.
Oh no; Gold so soon and I still can't run the darn thing. Does anyone else have the problem where the opening window paints, but the menu buttons are not active?

I'm running Win98 on a K6II 450MHz with 360MB of RAM. When starting Beta2, the screen turns black, eventually the publisher's logo comes up then the screen stays black. There is no sound. I have to turn off power to get the PC back. When I first d/l'd Beta2 there was a glitch on the final module. I re-ran DGM and that module d/l'd. After trying Beta2 for a couple of times w/o success, I uninstalled it and re-installed. No joy. Joe
Chris, Did you need to disable ZoneAlarm to download the Beta? I'm having lots of trouble downloading it. Joe
