srhill: First game on 1.50.9. Not sure if it's a bug or a feature. :)
Attacked Antares and won. By bizarre coincidence, the attack took place on the same date as a Galactic Council vote. After the battle, the game didn't end immediately, but instead went to the vote, which I also won. So my end-of-game score reflects both destroying Antares and winning the election. (The multiplier comes from unused Evolutionary Mutation points.)
Yeah, that's a nice one eh, getting a vote after taking antares. Attacked Antares and won. By bizarre coincidence, the attack took place on the same date as a Galactic Council vote. After the battle, the game didn't end immediately, but instead went to the vote, which I also won. So my end-of-game score reflects both destroying Antares and winning the election.

abbayarra: I am starting a game. I am patched up to 1.50.9. I'm not sure of the options so I am choosing 1.5 improved. I did notice one issue when I exit the game. I am playing in full screen. When I exit the game the desktop is all messed up. There is a black bar on the top and bottom of the screen. It makes it very difficult to do anything else. I have to reboot the computer with the power button. Do I need to change a setting?
srhill: You could check your system for updated graphics drivers and see if that resolves anything, but odds are that you'll need to avoid the situation entirely by playing in windowed mode (i.e., at a lower resolution). The higher resolutions are larger than what my monitor will support, always cutting off parts of the screen, so I'm stuck in 640x480. I have seen it before. Quill18 also had this situation in one of his playthroughs on youtube.
It's a bit quirky way to end the game but I think its fun that its possible to win with both.
Btw, it's also possible to defeat all 7 opponents and attack the Antaran HW if you time it right, so you get 2x wins in that way also.
About resolution; launcher allows you to manually input a resolution in addtion to the default options. For example you can try '800x600' if that is still supported by your monitor.
About playing full screen: it can cause problems on some systems after exiting the game. Have you tried alt+ENTER to go back to windowed mode before exiting orion? Not sure if it helps, but it's worth a try. Also, have you tried to manually adjust resolution when desktop is messed up, (in windows via context menu by right clicking anywhere on screen) ?
