Graphical glitches and texture issues
What is the deal with the water towers, domes, and resource pads? They are all made of a weird reflective surface that really detracts from the experience.

The worst offender is the domes. At night, if you zoom in on a dome, where the grass should be is a reflection of some pixelated picture of a freaking parking lot. You can see someone's car in it, as well as some kind of skyline with a building in the background. During the day it's just a trashy pixelated image of some static in-game resource.

The water towers just reflect the surface of mars.

Is there any fix for this? It is so distracting that if not, I'll probably just go ahead and refund it.

I really hope there is a fix, though... because the game itself is quite fun.

Could be a bug with shaders, try upgrading your video drivers?

Unfortunately no luck there. Running the latest NVidia drivers currently. I put in a support request, so we'll see what they say.
I'm having the same issue on a MAcbook. Kahlraxin, have you had any luck fixing this bug?

I had a similar issue on my HP laptop after updating the graphics drivers (Intel). After I rolled back the weird reflection issue disappeared.

I did actually. It's been awhile, but as I recall I had to revalidate the files in the game and it was apparently missing one of the texture files. Not sure why, since I never manually changed anything, but maybe a corrupt file the first time I downloaded it.
