The last mission appears to be broken for me. I can't breach the enemy's segments. They just have a "no interaction available" icon when I try to click on them. I was able to open a few of them, but the rest are completely disabled. Maybe I'm missing something?

Did you check their diplomacy status? They are set to friendly by default. Before you can breach you need to change them to enemy.
Thank you. That solved the problem. I had not even realized there was a diplomacy screen. Both enemies breached my segments, and we apparently became friends after all their troops were killed off.
i did the same thing too. Im glad it worked for you. Ive fallen in love with the game.
Does anyone know a way to change the font/font size? Except for the readability of the text this seems to do fine in high res.

wolfy1889: I have a freezing problem. It didnt start till Mission 4. The game freezes. I can still hear sound and move the mouse but it just creates mutiple images of the mouse when I move it. Like an image trail. Reminds me of old windows graphic crashes. I noticed it happens more frequent if Im going through the messages real fast.
EDIT: I switched from Direct3d and so far no freezing.
I have exactly the same problem (same mission and all) and I cant fix it (not even changing from Direct3D to my card), can someone help me please?

EDIT: Fixed, had to not use the old save, it only worked with a new game on that mission and changing it to my card in options instead of Direct3D

Distaria: It's not a huge deal with this game, I switched it to software, can't even tell the difference in graphic quality.
Switching to "software" graphics solved all my graphics and game slow-down problems in Startopia.
Hmm, what thing that surprised me is what I'm not seeing here.

Iirc, there was a bug that was never fixed in an official patch where the posh slug creatures (I forget the name) would get stuck in the baths at the bar, so you had to not build them. Is that fixed?
I've seen that gem-slug bug mentioned a few times, but I've never had it. Only aliens without energy to spend get stuck (usually in a lift or doorway).
I'm playing Startopia v1.01. On mission 5 when I make a laboratory I run out of power with the 1 power booster I get to start with, only lets me run the other starting facilities. I've tried to shutdown everything even the port, and the laboratory still has a power failure even though i have a small orange bar of power left.
My screen goes completely black when I try to launch Startopia. I can hear the game sounds. Exiting out of the game (Esc, then Enter, worked, I had to guess how to interact with the menu without seeing it) leaves my monitor still blank; unplugging it is the only way I can get my display back after exiting the game!
My only complaint, and its only my only complaint because I refuse to play the game until I can actually read things, is that the text is TINY in 1920x1080.

I cant even read it, I can stick my face so close to the monitor my nose touches it, and I just CANT read it without giving myself a migraine 2 sentences in.

This is my problem as well, the game is nearly unplayable with the size of the text and to a lesser extent some of the icons on the UI.

I normally game at 2560x1440 these days, so I am used to changing to lower resolutions for older games, however this seems to not help much with Startopia. The game looks great at higher resolution and seems to work fine but the text which is important to the game is simply unreadable. Oddly, changing to lower resolutions, even below 1080 seems to not help much, text stays tiny.

I wonder if this is a bug, as the text boxes seem huge for the tiny letters in them. I have searched for a solution without much luck, and have been unable to change anything in the fonts by messing with the very limited .ini file.

Great game but I can't play without wearing 4x reading glasses... would love to find a fix for this.
+1 here, at 1920x1200 the text is illegible and the UI is too small to use, even at lower resolutions it is pretty much unplayable, very dissapointed.

This is my biggest problem with this site, these developers still want to get money for their games but none of them want to put in effort into updating them so they run on current machines.

GoG used to care about this, but nowadays they're more into just selling games that are functional moreso than really putting the effort into them that they used to. I mean hell, they'd reverse engineer games and re-code things, but now it just seems like they say "runs on win7? k, put it up for sale!"

Glad they have a refund policy now. 3 of the games I bought about a year ago had problems on my system; one is still unplayable. Functional, but unplayable.

I really wish GoG would return to their roots of being a place where you can legally purchase old games that run on modern systems instead of just a DRM free game store.
