So I just got the game today, Mac client on steam, and was totally psyched to finally check it out. Started a match between me and AI just to start the learning curve, but then the game started to lag: whenever I issue a command to my Commander (?) it just sits there and doesn't move. Sometimes it display the animation of moving, but only doing it on one spot. I would order him to construct and for just five seconds the game works fine, but then everything goes down the hell again. Sometimes it would just teleport itself to the point where I ordered it to move to after a minute. This renders the game unplayable. I could zoom out and zoom in easily, and framerate doesn't seem to be affected at all, everything is normal speed, I could even go check out other planets and no problem, and I have a pretty powerful computer so that throws hardware issues out of the window. I am wondering if this is a server lag? Perhaps something to do with my internet connection? But I am playing with AI so the local game should handle everything? I saved for months for the Alpha, and would be really dissapointed if I can't play it, although I knew this game would be buggy, and realize that the devs are working their asses off, I really wish there is a fix. Cheers!
From what you described, I would say that was just a connection issue, some games that happens, after starting a new match you should be okay, unless you have absolutely horrible internet speeds
