Hi, I have a small annoying bug. When my units move or turn around they temporarely get this small scratch at the bottom of their icon, as if the game doesn't refresh the display fast enough. I don't know how to fix it.
My system is more than adequate for the game:
Pentium II 350 w/ 128 Mb RAM and
Riva TNT w/ 16 Mb of VRAM (video card)
Sound Blaster 128 PCI.
What to do????

Hum.. Now that you mentioned it I noticed that to.
Worse then that, sometimes it doesn't clean them up at all.
I have noticed this with the aliens. When an alien is moving in a sea area that I have explored it leaves images of itself in a trail as it moves. The area has no sensors set up in it either? On land I don't see them moving unless I have sensors and there is no image trail.
Maybe these problems are related?

I get the same thing, I removed the 'missle'
line from alpha.txt, and I don't have it anymore. It seems to happen when 'missle' weapons come into play. Performance improvement after removing that line also!!
