Software:Universal Client

Location

Description:
I went into the space station and bought 19 metals and I exited out the game for about 3 hours (while still in the spacestation). When i came back, I was already out the space station (which is weird), and when i tried to target a planet, it would point the arrow but when you try to aim at the planet, it wouldn't be there. I can't infimp to a planet because i still have the metals. Now im stuck in gal M-25 and can't infimp because i have cargo, or use the stardrive because any range won't reach. Has anyone else had this problem.

seems to be related to a dodgy directx call that i started using as the base timer. (coz the directx ppl said i should..) Ive reverted back to the old timer method for 0.49.7 release, and added some checks to cope if it should happen again - Ive yet to be able to replicate it since those changes ( i was able to pretty regularly before), so seems to be fixed.
