eskoth: Just fired up the game with the latest patched version and I'm having this issue with version 2.4.0.6. Also, the game keeps randomly but reliably crashing, often before I manage to complete the first level. This happened only very rarely before.
I do not know if it is the new ATI video card drivers (switch to the latest Crimson version from the old Catalyst Control Center) or the patch, because I have applied both. Would be nice to see it fixed. My card is the Radeon HD7870.
IronArcturus: Because of the card and stability issues, I'm still using Ziggurat v2.1.0.3. But I really wish the game devs would fix these issues soon...
This is ostensibly a very minor issue (card texture), but I can understand where you're coming from. The whole required internet connectivity thing last November saw me get a refund and then, more recently, when the game came back on sale for the same price I repurchased it.
The hot pink texture for the card is certainly interesting and, more than that, the more I learn about and participate in video game testing the more I recognise that people in the industry are overwhelmingly flying by the seat of their pants. There seems to be too little time to do anything and this stems more from poor management (design documentation, QA, et al.) and poor preproduction (basic design, time allocation, et al.). It's really, really remarkable.
