I was wondering if the developers are looking into this issue, it seems to have been around for a very long time now and it is definitely making me not want to play this game which is a shame. Anyone know if the devs are still supporting this game or should I stop wasting my time?

are you playing the classic game or the dlc? if you play the dlc it may fix the problem as it is a newer version. Also please post it in the tech support thread here: /#/endless-space/forum/35-tech-support
