I downloaded GaCiv2, and when you try to start a new game, ships and planets don't have any texture, so they are either invisible (some ships and all planets) or have the plain racial colors (some ships). This happens in the racial selection screen and ingame, and never happened in the beta. I have, as you will see, updated drivers, with no result. Neither changing options in the .ini did anything. Debug.err as follows:
