Do not force mipmapping off :S
I have it on, and it's perfectly ok (infact it's required for most games to even work nowadays).
We recently updated the render engine to work with DirectX9 (so we can use fancy techniques and more effecient code). I'd suggest updating your drivers to try and fix it (or selecting a higher level of mipmapping - it pretty much has no performance effect whatsoever, so just stick it at "Quality" or "High Quality").

Well after a while i cant do damage nor recive damage from "some" ppl..heard it was ports and all that but why isnt this a problem in the 1.483.
Im not runing any firewals either.
Anyways this must be a DS fault as a game is to be expected to install then run without any problems. There should never be an "hotfix" where u need to learn how to portforward and so on. As history tells, just look how that windows update thing hasnt worked.

Bugs--
Depots sometimes do not repair ships and/or your ship does not sync with it and repairs are not shown (need to use shipyard to get an accurate readout). Same with repair platforms.
Defense bases sometimes do not recognize enemy targets. Same with defense platforms.
Bombs of all kinds do no structural damage, even on direct hit and with area effect of PSMs. Population is more effected by all bombs.
Also, may not be a bug, but I've noticed that four out of five attempts at close jumping and attacking a ship immediately after exiting jump yields no damage or damage is delayed by several seconds.

I was orbiting Fargo rock and when i was buying resources they were not coming from the starport but from 400 gu in space along the planets orbit.

Bomb testing:
1) PSM's do no damage to structures, but appear to kill pop.
2)
5 MIRV bombs directly on a colony hub does ~24% damage
5 MiRV bombs 1 diamon up the colony hub does 0% damage
conclusion: damage radius isn't working
3)1 mirv bomb killed a hardened infantry
bombs do more damage to infantry closer to the planets surface on a diamond. This makes very little sense. However, it does mean damage radius is working, but it isn't big enough.
4) mirv bombs that miss (aiming to the side of a planet), make a very tight turning circle and manage to hit on that next pass. bug or not, it's kinda wierd.
5) damage doesn't seem to be calcuating right near the sides of planets
edit:
6) Damage appears to be calcuating or displayed incorrectly (bombs hitting structure report no damage, some structures receiving damage at random)

Attacking friendly planets makes the bomb curve wierd.
edit:
Neutron bombs do extremely little population damage, almost none.

Well I updated my Vid. card driver and tried every setting I can change in it and no change to the text. There is about 30 things I tried, took most of the day. Does anyone have any other suggestion?

did you try bombing a dome or a colony base?

Bombing seems to be doing damage to structures again.
Please test this thoroughly and give as much detail as possible if problems occur (IE. what you did to test and what you tried to see if it made a difference)

Okay, got a few more issues/observations, mostly from a few minutes ago.
Hyper-mass accelerator special effects are different to tachyon drive effects; HMA looks like it does in release.
UGTO command dread's central bomb rack is off-centre.
Attack craft, particularly B-27s, often don't respond to shift+N. I attacked a planet with B-27s several times and they never returned. The "fighters returning to base" message didn't show either.
This was two days ago, so I don't know if it's been fixed, but I can confirm that transport pods will often appear at the point the planet was when the server started, even if it's moved in the meantime, so they never reach you before vanishing.
And, finally, bombing. Bombed Argrea just now with an UGTO Command Dread. Planet had 60 pop, no defences, no units. Fired full salvo of neutron bombs at UGTO colony hub on planet, launched B-27s at various other installations on planet. All bombs guided perfectly and hit their targets, or near-as-damnit as far as I could tell. Caused no observable damage.
Performed second run, launching full salvo of MiRVs and B-27s at starport on planet. All bombs guided and hit their target. No observable damage.
[Edit] Also, some planet-related functions, such as loading infantry or resources, or using build drones, become available as an option at a certain distance, but will not do anything until you're actually in orbit.
