Hi matthewbtjones and welcome. I strongly suggest that you install Oolite 1.75.3 beta from here. 1.65 is very old and a little broken.

Make sure windows firewall or an anti virus program you are using is not blocking 127.0.0.1:8563

That may be the reason.

Welcome - as others have suggested try 1.75.3 - it is much improved in efficiency in many places - however, the blockiness is the bane of ATIs continued poor implementation of the OpenGL standards. Many, many others have reported the issue over the years.

Have you tried to update the ATI gfx drivers? Depending on the actual gfx card, that sometimes does the trick.

Trying to launch v1.75.3 of the game with the -nosplash parameter might help.

Do you mean the starfield is 'blocky'?.

If so try using simple shaders rather than full or set "use-texture-lod-bias" = NO; in your .GNUstepDefaults. (see http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Hidden ... _in_Oolite)

Either solved the problem for me (Windows XP and ATI radeon x700).

Can I ask if this on a laptop or a desktop. I sounds like you have managed to select the wrong driver.
Not difficult to do ATI seem to expect people using their site all have full computer degrees.
