1) Any events we had turned on to be warned about (such as random events, or food running low - that sort of thing) did not cause a pop-up window to appear. Rather, just a short message in the window was displayed (I always miss those, which is why I like having the random events pop up as a window).

2) When a base improvement is built for the first time, the voice that usually quotes something immediately starts to fade out, even before any buttons are hit - but the technology quotes sound just fine.

I'm using version 2.0 and both of these things work fine when I play a single-player game. I haven't played any other type of multiplayer game yet, so I was wondering if these two items were put in by design, or if maybe they could be fixed?
