on my system anyway,
When I go to Star Menu I experience that every 4-5 seconds everything freezes for a second or half a second,, continously.
All animations on fx buildings and everything else stops and game does not respond to input.
It is not just animations that stop. When I move the Star Menu scrollbar up and down it also stops moving when these stops happen, then it continues after the stop (if I keep moving the mouse when the stop happens).
So 10-15-20% of the time using the Star Menu the game it is not responsive.
Fixing this would make the Star Menu much easier to use. especially sending explorers and geos
by the way it is not only the star menu but at least one other menu that does this
