The game could have been a real contender in the space sim genre, but the severe gamekilling bugs and general errors the game suffers from completely obliterates any chances this game had, even back in 2006 when the game launched DSo suffered from a morass of issues the worst being the save game corruption which leads to the infamous infinite loading white hyperspace bug which is near impossible to fix leading to potentially hours of lost time and work - most people who have finished this game will tell you, save the game often because save games will get corrupted on a regular basis.

If your easily frustrated by bugs, having to repeat missions due to bugs/crashes and hate near constant corrupted files then never bother with this game.

Just search for "System Loading" bug and you'll see how much of the problem it is, and it also happens on the Xbox version too. I hope you don't have the problem so you can actually finish and enjoy the game, but if you do get that problem....I don't think anyone has successfully fixed it.

Its random unfortunately, it could happen 30 minutes into the game or 300 hours into it. Thats why the bug was never fixed since the developers could never pinpoint it. Personally, I think its something related to the old StarForce DRM causing it.

43 hours in and I've not seen any of the problems you mention...?

I played this game when it first came out and have played it on and off ever since but never have I had a save get corrupted. I'm not saying it's not possible but as much as I've played, it has to be a very rare occurance.

thanks for warned us about these bugs, I really like reading a review from a friend about the game because I do not trust much in news published on websites ... one criticism made ​​by a player to player, has an objective language about his experience to play

It seems the issue is more severe even affecting starting a brand new game - essentially have to uninstall the game and re-install to see if it will load new properly. I remember this game having major bugs, but seriously...this game should never had hit the stores in its current shape.
