I'm running GalCiv v1.03.54 fully updated with no library mods. I've got a save game that crashes at the same point everytime. I also have SmartException running, but it doesn't seem to want to send the .cra file to StarDock. Any chance I can email it (the .cra file & the save game) to someone to look at, I've got about 12 hours into this game & I really want to finish it.

Here's the .cra file output.

Debug information for each stardock app follows ....


~SDC~

Named Terror Stars names change when you upgrade them again. Might be the same for all StarBases.


~SDC~

Version 1.03.054

Bug: I've noticed that there is always a small square visible in the top left sector on the map edge, in all my games. Very noticeable when I'm using scouts to push back the fog of war (searching for those resources, ). Can be seen just by scrolling the map to display the top left sector at the left edge of the map.

Bug: On the first level of the light blue (Alterians?) starbase, there is a missing frame in the animation, so that it hops. Only occurs on the light blue star bases, and only on the base level ones.

Both bugs minor.

Further information in response to #352 by Andre_0, adding modules to normal (non Terror Star) star bases do not cause their name to be changed. Custom names remain the same before and after the addition of a new module. (Exception: When starbase turns into a Terror Star. Name then changes to a random Terror Star ### name.)

"Vanir: but when you load the save game, are your invisible ships suddenly visible?"

Yes, saving and reloading cleared it up.

I have had the pleasure of not "playing" GalCiv, but rather "experiencing" it. My hat is off to the designer for an incredible experience.

My problem is with a saved game. I had lost control of the Senate prior to saving, and when I reloaded, the votes were the same, but I had the bonus' for having control and the pop-up said I had control. Also, all my ships and starbases were reduced in hitpoints from their full allotment that they had when I saved.

Any advice?

"Also, all my ships and starbases were reduced in hitpoints from their full allotment that they had when I saved."

I don't know about starbases, but any ship bonuses you have from social projects (like shipyards) will disappear when you load a saved game. Hopefully this will get fixed soon, but until then just don't build any +ship improvements, or never exit your game.

:notsure:

I had similiar difficulties with the ship icons not being visible. Reloading the game cleared it up, I don't know why. Playing version 1.02.

NOT A BUG. I dont have my CD yet in Australia. When it arreives Brad, will I have to update the core files again or will they be left 'as is'. Put message here cos I see you visit often

~SDC~

A few problems that I have had with the 1.03 update. This is on a gigantic map with all AIs set to Incredible.

gfx bugs.
I gifted 30+ battle hammers to the torians, but the ships were not visible. The only reason that I saw them was that they were damaged and the arcing electricity showed, but no ships. The battlehammer.mdl seems to have disappeared from my gfx folder with the update.

When I built overlords all of them were invisible. They are not selectable on screen, but they are through a planet, or the ship list. overlord.mdl does exist in the gfx folder.

When my UI switched from neutral to good my ships stat display in the lower right corner (the hp, att, def display) had some text freeze on it so it was unreadable for the rest of the game.

AI bugs.
I gifted 20+ dreadnaughts to every civ. Civs at war literally had dreads sitting right next to each other in my sectors, and never attacked each other!?

All of these appeared with the new update.

Previously, I had complained that my computer would auto-reboot when I tried to shut it down after a lengthy session of GC. I have been loading SmartException regularly, and not unloading it down before shutting down the computer.

Now, I have been unloading SE before closing Windows and the re-boot problem disappeared.

Just in case others have had the same experience...

~SDC~

i am on my way to buy the game and i hope i can live with this ...

Got a problem after upgrading to last version. Had a CTD just before the main menu, right after the intro video.
I uninstalled the Multimedia module and the game worked fine.
I restalled the module and still it didn't work.
I deleted MP3 files in Music and Event Music directories and it worked.

I installed SmartException and reproduced the crash. It said it was in C:\WINDOWS\System32\MMSwitch.ax
I had a look on google and it said it was about codecs and nimo codec pack.
I uninstalled nimo codec pack and resinstalled but this time reading the warnings about not selecting conflicting codecs.

The game is now working fine.
Conclusion:
- read the warnings when installing software
- SmartException can really be of some help

In the hope it helps some other people too.

~SDC~

"Bill: what class planets were they? Also, do you mean in the planet list? Do the missing ships re-appear if you save and load the game? Do you have a ranger.mdl file in your gfx directory?"

CariElf, they were missing in the planet list. I don't remember exactly, but I think they were both class 26 or 29. The missing ships did reappear after reloading, but any ships built after the reload were missing (on the main screen, in orbit and on the production screen) until another save/reload. I'm not sure about the ranger.mdl file. I uninstalled/reinstalled the game before I saw your post. I did look at the debug file before uninstalling, and it was loaded with references to missing ship and planet files, a font and animations. All the ship files are there now though, and I didn't have any missing graphics in my latest game.

Hi,


ever since I installed version 1.03a of GalCiv (over the 1.03 version), the game always crashes to the desktop on the moment I hit the “DONE” in the “Our story so far...” window.

It happens with a new game and with all my old save games from version 1.03.

Here are two debug-files : the first comes from a new game, the second from an old save-game (from version 1.03) that I tried to load.

Jim: much of the senate information is not being saved right now, due to an oversight. If you can get your approval rating up and retain control, you might be able to get it straightened out.

The latest update should have fixed the problem where colony bonuses were not saving.

And Fifth I helped in the chat room. If anyone else gets his problem, see if you can update again even if it still says verions 1.03A.

There must be something odd with the release versions that contain no debug info that makes the missing ships happen. Generally invisible ships are caused by missing or redundant files. I'll see what I can find out.

v 1.03

Weird bug. I had a stack with some dreadnaughts and transports next to a planet (cardinoids) The planet was empty so I tried fleeting my ships together and then click on the planet. For some reason, it decided I had no movement points left. Maybe one of the ships was out I don't know. So, my turn ended, next turn started, and I figured since the move order was going that direction anyway, I had nothing to worry about and didn't reissue any orders. I either clicked the turn button, or maybe just hit space bar through my other ships, not 100% sure. Before my turn though, the cardinoids had built a ship. My fleet seemingly attacked - ie. There was an explosion, and then proceed to move on top of the planet square. (which still contained a cardinoid ship).

I was able to move the fleet off the planet, and attack again and invade normally, but I guess it'd be called, unexpected behavior.

When you create a Colony Ship and load it up with all your citizens than you destroy that colony on the same screen the game crashes

Version 1.03.054

Built my first capital ship, a Dreadnaught. Have Battleship tech, but have not had a reason to build one, as I gained Dreadnaught technology very quickly afterward.

No multimedia playing of 'Capital Ships'. Expect when I finally build my first Battleship, I'll get the 'Capital ships' multimedia picture. I will LOL and LOL and LOL then.

Something to consider...

By the way this game has a score of 0 on the metaverse. Don't i need to tell that this is somewhat unfair? I can't send my first win to metaverse (also Gigantic/Masochistic) because game just crushes then i hit done in Scores screen. And then i sending second game i recieve a score of 0. I am pretty sure that i don't cheated in any way (i deleted all files in galciv directory and then reinstalled if from an archive prior to starting a game).

terror star and avatar invisible anyone else have this problem ..

Ellestar: I think that your ctd are because the event list is hosing things because it's too big. See if clearing out your event list every turn by shift-clicking the first and last items in the list makes it not ctd. Also, please send me your save game.

[email protected]

ZACAS: a couple of people are reporting invisible ships, but they should re-appear if you save and reload. I'm not sure what is causing this yet.

I have a truly fantastic bug. I didn't want to report it because I really like it... Right now, playing with the 1.03.xx patch from StarDock and the CD version of this game, I can buy any of the items outright for the lowest cost. When you bring up the "purchase" screen, the first selection is always the most expensive "2500bc + 0bc for 0 months". But, now, the bottom most purchase selection is "149bc + 23bc for 0 months". Needless to say that I am really loving this bug. The prices are similar for all the items, Social and Military productions.

I am experiencing the exact same problem from "#364 by Citizen Fifth - 5/1/2003 11:43:26 AM." I just updated to 1.03A and now I cannot play the game at all either. Whether loading a save game, or starting a new game, whenever I hit the "DONE" button on the "Our Story So Far..." window I get a CTD.

GELeto2: in Stardock Central, select Gal Civ, and if it doesn't show the update button again, downgrade that version and then re-install and see if that helps you.
