Funky Graphics

from Sins Forums

        Just downloaded the beta and was admiring the very high graphics (before my game crashed :D) and noticed a few things with the TEC (only race I played). Sorry I don't have pictures, but I am not very good with screenshots. I zoomed really close on the Flak frigate and noticed that when it fires the bullets come out fine but the firing graphic is just a white rectangle, not a big deal just strange. Also, the TEC starbase seems to stop turning after an upgrade and then just twitches like its having a mini-seizure.  The Akkan also seemed to have the white rectangle issue with the guns it has on the port and starboard sides. Just wanted to throw it out there,

IC said the graphics are not optimized. I wonder if this is part of that same problem. Might wanna turn your graphics down to low and everthing till next build.

Right, but what about the TEC starbase not spinning? That happened in the earlier version as well. Also, while I was looking at the starbase a scout came into the grav well and I right clicked it with the starbase selected. All of a sudden it started to spin quickly (doing nothing else) then when the scout left it went back to twitching.

I have taken a few screenshots of some interesting appearances in the game....but I cannot find the files. The game says when I press the scrnshot button it saves in Ironclad/Sins of a solar empire/screenshot/file name but I checked for the Ironclad folder, it was not there. Just stardock/sins/but no screenshot file in here. Is this a bug?
