Issues
In later versions of windows, Direct Draw was removed (hence the need to copy the d3drm.dll to the game folder). As a side effect of this, the game has a few glitches that appear in Vista/Windows 7.
- When you first start a single player campaign, you cannot skip the intro and must wait for the droid to finish the briefing.
- When selecting a planet as a target for a mission or construction, the hit area is now smaller and off center. The best place to try to click is below the planet and to the right, where a large system energy bar would end.
