    I installed with steam, then when that didn't work installed the stand alone version from the uber website both have same issue, when i go single player -> galactic war ->go to war -> I can click on planets where i get tech but when i come across a fight I click the button it goes to a blueish screen with a line across the center and freezes there with no options buttons or further action happening. Please help, I've yet to experience any proper game play.
    Attached is a pic of the map before i click fight, the screen after i click fight and my dxdiag incase that is needed. Any advice would be great, i'm looking forward to playing this game.

    Hello,

    Based on your Dxdiag, you appear to have an integrated card and a dedicated GPU enabled at the same time:
    Code:
    Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
    Dedicated Memory: 3995 MB
    Perhaps you can try disabling the Intel card and set the Nvidia card as default. Also, have you tried running directly from PA.exe?

    thanks for the advice, I actually forced it to use the nvidia, but yeah, disabling bluetooth fixed the bug, so thankyou again, i'm enjoying playing now

    It appears to be a windows 8 bluetooth issue,

    The server requires port 6543 to be free/unused.
    In windows 8 the bluetooth seems to use 127.0.0.1:6543,
    Only way to free up the port attached to the IP the bluetooth is using is to kill the bluetooth.

    I have looked for a way to get the bluetooth to use a different port but it has been unsuccessful :(
    The dev's may need to change the port the server uses from 6543 to something else that doesn't conflict with the bluetooth in win 8.

    I vote for port 8065 Those are teh decimal representions of the ASCII for "PA".

    If that is taken/too low, how about "20545" isntead?
    That is PA interpreted to binary ASCII representation, feed into a binary to decimal converter.

    I liked that suggestion enough that we're going to use it. (20545, that is. 0x5041 = "PA") We checked a number of different places, and are expecting minimal conflicts, if any.

    Would be great if there will be option to set custom ports for HTTP API because 8080 is used pretty often on servers. :)
