I have had this problem of blank, partial screen and having to go thru science screen. The first 2-3 times this happened, I was able to correct this by verifying; BUT now game won't launch at all. I have verified lots of times, uninstalled, installed. Still won't launch to main page. Yesterday I noticed in Epic library there was another install file labeled "Testing Edition"  Installed that. Still no go.  The game worked for about 36 hours after .77 was downloaded. Then just stopped. In the beginning launching gets to a screen with picture of a barren planet and at bottom says loading; then then a right side notice pops out saying one can get to social area, shortly screen goes to all black/blank, yet never gets to main game screen. I have let the blank screen sit there several times 5-6 minutes. Why it stopped working I don't know what else to do!!  

Are to Des going to patch this edition, or do I have to wait for next big update??  I am bummed out right now.

Bugs:
- I attacked a pirate shipyard and did only 8 damage (all three early game commanders were present and tooltip said no casualties on my side and total defeat for them). My guess is: prediction is correct but real outcome is not
- Please synch the rules for range of starbases and missiles. Starbases got the 4 corners rule to determine if a hex is inside or not – this is not true for missiles
- "warm" relations to the Krynn. Lord Kona is angry. Advisor warns me about bad relations to the Krynn
- Crash after click on planetery upgrade (this should already be well reported)
- Precursor Relic Analytics should reward: +25% Modifier Value. I double checked but can't find any effect (starbase, core worlds, approval relics)
- Not 100% sure (my game crashed, colony upgrade bug): I got trade tech from AI, I should get two free frighters but I only got one

Edit: Tech is supposed to provide only one free frighter

Feedback:
- Good: AI takes new planets and strategic ressources way more aggressiv than in previous builds
- I am confused about which missions reward culture points and which do not
- The "Ideology hint" - I was talking about – would be really useful for events like this:

In the following situation the diplomacy sliders would be very useful (fleet and starbase in Krynn territory, open boarders could run out every turn). I would get a "warning" at star map.

Not sure about this one, just an idea

nice, i really like that one, great way to be able to see a lot of info at a glance instead of having to hover over each one

Hello 

My explanation was probably not precise enough. But it is exactly what you said. When I click on the adviser telling "the citizen of alinor are unhappy" I get a black screen. 

By the way, they are happy now !! no more problems.

Another feedback.

I am wondering if the colony's citizen specialization is really well programed. It is better to make only entertainer to improve approbation. It will increase both research and manufacture. Maybe it is because my core world are not specialized enough but it feels strange.
