That's an an issue with your installation... A colored square means that you are missing the colormask for that ship.

What ship is a colored square for you?

Hi, just a quick question - when is the "coloured square instead of a ship" bug going to be fixed?

That's, as Lance mentioned, is a corrupt installation; try re-installing the game.

(Funny how a lot of people are experiencing that.  :|)

Is there any rough estimate of when the next official release will be?

My guess would be first week of December, when Light of the Spire comes out.

Indeed.  Apparently there is something odd on the Steam version for three of the AI ships, but they haven't been able to pin down why those images didn't make it into their depots.  I gave them the files for an update, and double checked it, but no joy yet.  Been waiting to hear back on that, but they've also been slammed with work I think.

Definitely.  The next official won't be until LotS is out, but will be exactly at the same time as that.

Hi again, thanks for your answers, guys, not sure which particular ship does that, but I believe it has something to do with a Spire starship, but once again, I'm not really sure. I'll try to verify integrity of game cache (yeah, I do have Steam version). By the way, what an amazing game! I have almost 300 games in my Steam account and AI War has made it to my top 10 most played games! I am seriously amazed and as an IT student (Czech Technical University, Faculty of Information Technologies) I also enjoyed reading your blog, x4000, where you described how the AI works.
