Reply to Star Texture in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Sorry, 7.4 seems to be latest for 2k..any past that tells me cannot find driver for os/hardware..Oh well..I can try setting up in XP dual-boot, have to reinstall as sig.bin seems to keep a hardware/OS check?? Thought only MS did stuff like that LOL. Anyway..perhaps we can get star colors to show for saved games when not using textures? ap

Reply to Star Texture in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, Here it is..Something else: when disabling star textures, stars have no colors loading a saved gamed..new games they have colors.. This is loading a saved game with textures enabled: Debug Message: Version v1.61 Dark Avatar last updated on: Wed Jun 13 14:10:36 2007 Debug Message: Checking DX Version.

Star Texture in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hello, Having a slight strangeness with star textures. Seems I get a white box around the stars! I can disable textures and no more box. This happens with both DL and DA. My graphics card is an ATI 1950 Pro. 7.4 Catalyst drivers/Win2K. System Ram 2.5G. Anyone else ever seen this? Not too big a deal, as turning textures off removes the box. This does not happen with any other textures in the game. andy

Nakor, Is there any info on the Activation 0 error? Not sure if it is a problem or not..perhaps it is because I also bought the pre-order with a different email than my stardock.net account...

Reply to Suggestion: Add "Random" to more game start settings in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I agree. I really like this in Civ. I like not knowing who I am up against (or even who I am!) until the games starts, or knowing what type of universe I am being dropped into! ap

Reply to Ship construction screen cannot be removed in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Hi BoogieBac, Sorry I should have been more specificm, this happens when you 'Go to Planet' after a GNN turn report: 1) GNN pops up with new items built, say a constructor. 2) Choose goto planet. The ship pick list comes up. 3) From here choose 'Shipyard' on lower left. 4) Choose 'New' (or 'Upgrade'). 5) Cannot now get out of contruction screen. ap

Map suggestion when in planet screen in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Hello, The beta is looking fantatsic!! Really enjoying it alot! Just a suggestion (as Brad asked for in the schedule thread)..could there be a way to see where on the star map a planet is when you select the planet details. Prehaps a small grid like the mini-map? For instance, when the build GNN comes up and you select go to planet to build the next item, it is very easy to forget where on the map this planet actually is..should I build culture

Ship construction screen cannot be removed in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hello, Just started testing so this may be known: the 'Done' button on the ship contruction screen does not remove the screen, so you are forced to exit the game to get back to play. There is no other way I see to remove this screen. ap

Reply to Things you would like to see in a Galactic Civilization expansion set in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi, This was propbably already mentioned, but: A way to filter the ship list? Maybe In Otbit/Not Orbitting, or by ship type. Would be nice to remove all my defenders from the list. ap

Reply to Suggestions 1.03 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Not sure if this would be possible but: Could the graphic change when a starbase is full of modules? Maybe different flashing lights or something? Just saves having to check the starbase before sending a constructor. ap

Reply to Dear Frogboy.... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I agree with everything TNTTony said. Stardock is the most amazing company I have ever seen. There is no one who provides this level of support. A great team and great guys. Do not be dismayed buy complainers and such. You have created the most loyal fan base I think there is. Great work and my sincere appreciation!! ap

Tatical View in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi, This will sound stupid but: I have forgotten how to get to the tactical view. I remeber seeing this (might have been beta). Could someone tell me where this is, or if there is hot key for it, or maybe even if it is no longer in the game. Thank you! ap

Hmmm..Malleus is right Tir-Quan is number 11 at the top of the file, same as Terra forming at the bottom. I am running the latest version.

Reply to Trying to update from 1.01 to 1.01a... freaking nightmare in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

One other thing (not sure if it matters) but: Before reinstalling GalCiv, go into Stardock Central and set everything to 'Uninstalled' (by hitting the 'Uninstall' button), if you didn't uninstall from Stardock Central. ap

Reply to Trying to update from 1.01 to 1.01a... freaking nightmare in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi, Try this: Uninstall GalCiv. Do *NOT* uninstall StarDock Central. Reinstall GalCiv. Go to Stardock Central and get the MUlti-media and Bonus Pack. Then get the updates. This worked for me. ap

Reply to MONDAY STATUS REPORT in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The gc1.xml did not exist, but SDC showed GC was installed. It showed the correct build number at the time 1.0.1029(?) at least. I do not recall seeing the gc1_Multimedia file before reinstalling. I am not positive about this, but I remember being suprised by its appearance after the reinstall and updates. The order in which I originally installed: GalCiv (from CD). The downloaded the Bonus Pack from WebSite and installed that. Then SDC. After install of SDC I used it to

Reply to MONDAY STATUS REPORT in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Same results as LordTheRon. Was not there, and SDC tried to install the full 85MB. After uninstall, and reinstall of GalCiv and downloading everything it is there. The updates went smooth..no 85MB. I should have looked right *after* the GC reinstall but before updating. I am sorry I didn't. ap

Reply to MONDAY STATUS REPORT in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yes reinstall worked. First GalCiv, then Multi-media, then Bonus, then Update patch. LordTheRon is correct when he noted the problem is the missing gc1.xml in the Stardock/install dir, I think. Not sure it would not be there, or when it gets put there. ap

Reply to MONDAY STATUS REPORT in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yes. It knows it is installed (says 1.0.1029 or some such). I am going to try reinstalling GalCiv. I'll see how that does. ap

Reply to MONDAY STATUS REPORT in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yes..what must be done, in what order to get SDC to work right. It is STILL asking for the 85MB download. Does this just require a reinstall??
