So the problem occurs when I'm entering a system and the planets load, either 2 things will happen, the system will load and the game just clocks then goes unresponsive, or I don't get the select a spot to begin / where to place your commander and I can no longer proceed with the game. This only started to occur after most recent update. I just updated my driver, however, it didn't seem to make a difference. Please help, I miss the annihilation
You may try AMD latest drivers (RC) which are newer than those from April. Did you try hitting F5 to reload the UI when game appears stuck ?
I just reinstalled new drivers from their site a few days ago. And, yes, I've tried F5, doesn't help...
