Hey, you've come to the right forum for help. Can you answer the following questions? They will help us help you.
- Where did you buy the game? (ftlgame.com, Steam, or GOG)
- What operating system do you use? (Windows, Mac, or Linux)
- What computer do you have? (typical desktop PC, laptop, netbook, etc.)
- In the case of laptops and netbooks, what is the brand of the computer (Toshiba, HP, etc.)
- What graphics card do you have? (NVIDIA, ATI, Intel, etc.)
The problem you are experiencing is most likely the same that has affected other players. If you are using Steam, you can try the beta version of a patch that should correct the issue. This this thread for details:
