Two Strange Things I Have Experienced in the Game

Before I get to the strange things I need to say that I'm enjoying this most of the time.  The main reason I don't enjoy it is because I make mistakes and the enemy overwhelms my defenses and destroys my colony.  XO
Of course, I just play that mission again (and again and again) until I finally win it.  Then I like the game a lot more. :thumbsup:  

 

Here are the two strange things.

I put this one on Discord yesterday, but here it is again.
I won and lost Mission VI at the same time.  My colony was destroyed at the same time as the last enemy was destroyed.  I got credit for doing both of the requirements which was followed by the defeat screen, then I was able to go to the next mission.  I wish I had recorded it.  I don't know if it matters, but I had slowed the gameplay by one click on the minus sign.

I just finished a try at Mission IX.  Near the end I was planning on using the EMP to stun a last wave of enemy in the area where I had good defenses.  While I was making final adjustments with the EMP target indicator, an enemy or two that I didn't realize were at my colony finished destroying the colony.  I got the defeat screen then I couldn't do anything to interact with the game.  I couldn't get out of the defeat screen.  I used Alt-Tab to get to Steam or the Task Manger, which were also running.  The game screen went totally white, but I stayed in it.  Nothing I tried, which was a lot, allowed me to get out of the white game screen.  I finally used Ctrl-Alt-Del and logged out.  That shut down the game, Steam and Task Manager and took me to the login screen.  Everything worked fine after that, including the game.

I have now had the game crash on me.  I wasn't playing seriously and allowed too many of the enemy get to my colony.  I think the enemy did enough damage to my colony to cause it to explode just before the game crashed.  I had the colony at level 3 to see how it looked.  It looked good before it exploded. :P  

The Stardock crash reporter sent in a report about 15 or 20 minutes ago.

I added the prior issue with both winning and losing to the bug list earlier. Hopefully the reporter does its job with CTDs but if you experience anything that doesn't CTD please post either on discord or here in the forums. Include steps to reproduce if possible and any screenshots.
