When building a new structure on a system all buildings show up and scrolling is not confined in the box. Same thing happens for quest text, custom faction creation, and Market tab when it displays faction purchase history. Pretty much everything with scrolling. 

The pop-up notifaction screens will most times be opaque and still show the galaxy underneath.

In the science screen the dividing detail lines between tiers and type of science will blink sporatically for 45 seconds plus before coming in.

The hero management skill tree only shows the symbol for the skill and nothing else. This happens most of the time and sometimes will work fine.

Occasionally the population on the worlds are missing.

It seems like the animations for the game are displaying over the borders that are supposed to hide the parts of animation the player shouldn't see.

Please let me know if you need more clarification or additional information from me.

Hey,

Thank you for your report!

To help you, we'd need informations as described in this Guide.

Cheers,

To other people: Does anyone else encounter this issue?

I am expierencing the same issues after the High Sierra Update.  

1) the background (dividing detail lines) and the color coding on the science screen completely disapears after flickering.  This makes the science screen unusable.  

2) The pop up notifications are semi-transparent about 60% of the time making it difficult to read the card

3) when the solar system run thru amination occurs it will display all planets with max values...the background for the cards dispalying the values will flicker

4) The long form text for the quests, ect is all over the place....

5)The outpost landing animation stutters, hangs and flickers

6)The diplomacy screen is tilted at a very odd angle...almost like the game doesnt completetly load the graphic.   and none of the buttons work

I have Intel Irs Pro Graphics card, 2.2Ghtz processor, 16GB of Ram.  played the game at all of the different graphics levels and different combinations of resolution.  It doesnt make a difference. 

There is more that is broken but that is what I can think off off the top of my head.  

Generaly the game looks like crap after high sierra... :(

Here are screen shots of the issues

Weird Angle of the diplomacy screen

Tranlucent alerts with Text all over the place

Background of the hero sklls does not render making it hard to read and use

Tranlucent alert...hurts the ol eyes

Apparently this tiny Ash Planet is perfect

The bacground of the Technology screen flickers then disapears making it impossible to use

I will try to pull the diag files and provide the othe info.  I just have to find it.

Thanks!

Since this thread is linked to the entry in the database, the more info you post here, the more we'll have to work with :)

Any updates on these UI bugs?  Feedback from your Mac guy?   

Hey :)

The issue is still open on his side, from what I can see.

Cheers

Try adding '-compat' to the launch options in ES2's properties. It fixes all manner of Mac graphical glitches although the Diplomacy screen still crashes for me. Luckily, I can still conduct diplomacy by engaging with another empire directly. 

This is probably related to the Target Locked update which would explain why the glitches suddenly appeared.

I was digging around in another forum.  This worked and resolved all of my issues! 

Great to hear this!

Just bought the game and it still has this problem. Almost asked for refund but adding -compat fixed it.
