3A bug: turning a civ off...

November 12, 2002 11:20 AM from

I wanted to play a simple game with only one other civilization in a middling-sized galaxy, to give me a chance to get a few planets, see how things work, and all that. After exiting that game, the game hung on start-up; just sat there, accessing the hard drive, putting the CPU up to 100% utilization. debug.err gets as far as "Creating race setup screen". To get the game back again, I have to delete the file Data\prefs.ini.

Ok, I'm not sure that I'm getting the sequence of events here.

So you started a game,de-selecting all but one alien, and played it for awhile.

Then you exited Gal Civ completely, and when you tried to run it again, it hung while it was loading?

Was having trouble reproducing this at first, because my prefs.ini file was read only and wasn't saving the settings with just one alien enabled. I miss more bugs that way...anyway, it will be fixed in the next build.
