Star Control: Origins v1.5 opt-in.

from StarControl Forums

I didn't see code either for opt-in but a day or two later it showed it being downloaded. 

Biggest problems right now is that I'm having problems with game play.  Game keep crashing when on volcano style planet, in fact the saving MuKey base from Drenken and getting the degenerative matter.  Every time ship is hit the game crashes.   Sorry for any spelling errors.

Also nothing problem as popped up.  Traveling speed.  There seems to be time lag (again sorry if term not correct) going from system to system and the v1.5 opt-in, the ship seems to actually travel slower than before and pulsates.  It just screwy.  

I'm not seasoned computer game player, my first computer was the VIC-20 and Commodore-64, so I play on beginner level and muddle through the best I can while enjoying the game.

I would also like to address the planet explorer ship.  Maybe I'm doing this all wrong (Use mouse and key board controls) but I'm finding that trying to direct the ships direction while shooting.  At present I use the Arrow Keys for directions, the mouse for shooting, the space bar for jumping, but I can also use the Control Key for shooting too.  At times I have to angle the keyboard to get to the arrow keys while shooting if that makes sense to anyone.  Maybe a good upgrade would be automatic targeting system or at least cross hair sights.

Just throwing my 2 cent in for what it is worth.

Thanks.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have a solution in the works for the crashing and hope to release it soon.

Thank you for the rapid reply.  I haven't tried that particular planet again, but I found another planet similar to it with degenerative matter and it didn't crash and volcanos.

I played last night and it showed that the v1.5 opt is register at the start.  Then the problem I had with speed between systems pulsating (slowing and speeding) seemed to have stopped.  Back in Jun  I had to replace the hard drive because it was starting to show signs of failing.  It was replaced by 1 terabit solid state drive.  At the same time I went from Windows 10 home to Windows 10 Pro.

I don't know if any of that makes a difference.  But thanks again.

Encountered another problem with Mckay home world.  Select choice for court and for some reason after the 3 or 4 question no choices came up and would not let me to back up to get out of.  I eventually had to turn of computer to reboot.

Had no problem going to the court earlier but it was before I encountered the exraki (sorry about spelling).  I was trying to back up so that I could avoid going to that facility.  I am not able to beat those forces going to Earth.

If you have a savegame where this is reproducible it would help a lot if you uploaded it to a cloud service (DropBox, Google Drive, One Drive) and post a link here, the developers can take a look at it.
