F4LL0UT: Yeah well, it wouldn't make any sense, it's the rebellion. What really sucks, though, is that the rebellion doesn't have Bite Marks of Admiral Ackbar.
Does Admiral Ackbar even have teeth? Never saw any evidence of such in the movies :D

F4LL0UT: Duh, of course he does! Don't you remember this moment?

kvader: So, how do you contact GOG support? Since I bought this game, the screen flickers every few seconds, showing my desktop. It doesn't actually interfere with the game except that it's really hard to see. It happens about every 12 seconds. I cannot find any mention of it in the support posts and asking to contact puts you in a loop of bullshit that never ends. How do you find help anyway?
Here's the link where you have a drop down menu where you can select the choice that best describes your problem:

http://www.gog.com/support/contact/technical_issues_with_games/star_wars_xwing_special_edition

As for how to get there, just do the following:

Click on Support on the bar that you see on top of every page.
Type in the name of the game in the Search bar once you get to Games Support.
To your right, you'll see a link titled "I can't find the solution for my problem".
Click on the aforementioned link and it will take you to the drop down menu I have linked above :)

Let me know if I can help with anything else :)
