Phase Lanes

How do you turn view phase lanes on/off? I can't see my phase lanes anymore.

It's in the game's interface options I believe ;)

I found it but it was already checked. Could there be something wrong with my graphics card?

One thing - when I order my ship to jump, a black line appears in its intended path. Is it possible my phase lanes turned black?

That sounds like some sort of graphics corruption.. the movement lines should be blue. Weird.. are all your drivers up to date and all that good stuff?

You might be in cinematic mode, it disables much of the UI for video recording.

Phase lanes are normally Grey, if it is the color of your icon it means that is where your culture is spreading, if it is not Grey or your color it means that the opponents culture is spreading.

Thanks guys

I fixed it by minimizing/maximizing (all the options were right and no cin mode was used)

I posted this again in technical because I think its a bug.

- no phase lanes after loading a save game (one time thing- i can load okay now).
- grav well is surrounded by two black circles instead of blue
- problem persists after restarting game and computer
- problem fixed when game was minimized and then maximized

To be honest, I think it's purely a video card/driver issue, because this is the first I've heard of it.

I would actually recommend you e-mail [email protected] with a screenshot or two, the way you can reproduce and fix it, and your dxdiag. They might be able to help figure it out. :)
