fixedTo sum up -This bug was due to the procedurally generated skyboxes (the portion I've addressed is actually 3 layers blended together) taking a big chunk of graphics card's processing power. Players running higher resolutions were more affected and reported the bug to me. I ran around like a crazy person for 2 and a half days fixing it with various results - until victory!

addedTo sum up -To all my friends - old and new - We did it! Thank you for your patience and support!

changedTo sum up -Well I'm sad to report that I do... SPACE ALIENS - wishing to invade our Earth and find us unprepared for space combat. Why do you think I made Void Destroyer 2 for fun? For profit? No! So if you haven't bought the game and wish to stave off alien invasions... I really don't see you have much choice.

But wait you say - "You have no enemies..."

Thank you guys for a great launch weekend!
