Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. When the cutscene happens the Antares are no where to be seen.

Tried - changing resolution, playing from gog client and standalone, changing full screen vs window, verify installation, and uninstall/reinstalling with no luck :(

OS Windows 10; GTX 970 card - appears all other cutscenes are fine - all the new races show up without issues.

in the log this get dumped out:

UPDATE: OK according to steam forum this is a game bug the developers are working on.

I hope it gets fixed soon. Just now, having defeated the Antarans, the button to leave the cutscene screen didn't show up. I guess that's the end of this game, unless I deliberately sacrifice the world...

Hey, just an FYI this is definitely a conflict between the game and the "Logitech Gaming Software".

When I uninstalled Logitech's software package the Antarens now show up.

Still using the Logitech G105 keyboard just no longer have the special Logitech software for it.

Works at least for me - give it a shot.

UPDATE - Looks like just exiting the LGS before starting Master of Orion is good enough. Just make certain you actually exit - it normally minimizes as a tray icon. So just exit it and see if that works for you.
