Update: issue resolved: play with ECS, not OCS
_______________________________________________________________


I believe that the classic strategy game Millennium 2.2 unfortunately is not playable beyond about 10% of the game with WinUAE.

The problem is that the game cannot display a crucial screen required to gather all-important resources:-
When a 'grazer' finds an an asteroid you should be able to click on the ship roster, click on the ship name and then see a 'cockpit' view in which you control the grazer - with option to take or leave the asteroid (i.e. to mine it or not). What happens in WinUAE is just that you see a bit of screen corruption, often from a screen you have recently used. The cockpit view does not appear at all.

This issue does not appear if you run the same game in WinFellow.

I tried loading a saved game (from B2R, further into the game) but the same issue is there as well as the issue of screen corruption and crashing (Guru Meditation) when you pick a colony out of the list.

Obviously I can choose to use WinFellow, but I mention this for others to realise that it's the emulator that causes the issue.
