After installing this i am having problems wit various thing in Windows. Running Vista 32.

My system tray now opens and closes VERY slowly, and the Windows Start menu cannot display the pop-out panels, such as the one the has the shutdown buttons.

I was pretty sure i clicked Yes on all the system32 install choices.

What a piece of shit, if i ever meet this guy on the street I'm gonna headbutt him in the face and break his nose.

I wouldn't go that far, it looks like a really cool game, but there are some seriously derpy things in it.  Not a huge deal.

A sort of fix for the thing is to download resizeenable and 360desktop.  Set your resolution way too high via the advanced monitor options, then open resize and 360.  Open all possible windows ever for Aurora, use resizeenable to shrink them to less than 1024 vertical pixels, and then array them across the 360desktop.  Set your resolution back to normal.

It works, but some of the stuff is mashed together, it's not a huge deal if you have a second computer to keep the windows at their regular resolution and read from there, since most of the smashed stuff is near the top.

This isn't nearly as complicated as ADDING A DERPY HERPA DERP SCROLLBAR TO YOUR RIDICULOUSLY HUGE WINDOWS, COME ON MAN

this guy needs to have his software development license revoked. He just shouldnt do it.

I must say, I have never before played a game that has so much potential. However, the glitches, no scrolling etc, makes me want to throttle my laptop it gets so frustrating.

I started a topic in the suggestions forum of Aurora about everyones concerns with a scroll bar and installation problems; Steve really listens to his player base and updates frequently so theres actually a good chance something will be done.

Steve sounds like an alright guy, did he mention where he lives?

It took most of the day for me to get to the point where I'm building my first scouts and warship.  I've read enough that I understand basic ship design(holy crap the options!)  and research but managing planets, training, and economy I'm still fairly clueless about.

I notice I get error boxes relating to officers gaining experience -I put them on auto-training. I'll post about it tomorrow but now it's time to sleep.

The weapon systems depth is utterly insane.

[MrWiggles]

Any chance of a mac port?

[Akigagak]

Sadly, no.

It would make things easier for me as well, but the resolution screw-up needs to be fixed first anyhow.

Steve lives in London, apparently, although he seems lacking in common sense for an Englishman.

Well, I've been reading the tutorial, and the game is certainly in-depth. I think I'll hold back until I hear some nicer things though, I don't really like the idea of workarounds because I require a resolution larger than my computer can display.

I'd love to try this, but seriously don't have the time for it

I installed it on Linux under Wine and it works. No troubles with installation itself (after carefully reading the official description) but required screen resolutions are almost too much for me.

This looks much more detailed than moo3 and this choice of comparison raises some doubts. Hope still lives however.

Really? Got to try on my Ubuntu ... do not have the energy for getting the win version working.

After reading through stuff, seems like an awesome game. But I, as most every body else, dont have a superhuge screen. So yeah, this seems like the biggest problem, and from what I read of Steve's post on his forum, he doesnt intend to fix it

Does anyone know of some way to atleast resize the font of the game windows? Or maybe Steve could fix that, I'd think it wouldnt take too much code to put the default font of all windows a few sizes lower, and a simple font change might be enough to squeeze in all the extra stuff.
