Please guys, read the thread. The dll needs to be 32bit, despite of running a x64 win7. The dll is also part of the mentioned x86 dx redistributable package. @Kryo You could sticky the thread, since threads regarding the DX issues are growing. Just add a use at own risk comment, for this ugly temorary workaround, and edit the title to something more describing. I suspect a lot of vista userers also complaining, after upgrading to

As I said, your video driver is too old! Dated 2004! Go to amd/ati site and download the most current driver for your card. Doubleclick ati-installer and reboot, thats it. Concerning Mouse, after you updated the driver, just try to use hardware mouse cursor in game options, if the problem has not been solved by a newer driver. I can't offer more, since I only use nvidia cards. Besides that, more RAM is preferable, but GC2 should run on your system.

If the new version is ready, and the majority still can't connect to server, I'll have a solution for that... Filespace is not a problem, infrastructure(svn, I prefer a bugtracker with svn support anyway)is not a problem, but the small testing community. The truth is, the small galciv2ide project mainly targets north american users, as the game itself. Not too many people know stardock in europe I think. Thus the project relies on transcontinental connection, hence I have to make tha

Folder?! You just need to take ownership of the dll, in order to grant full permission. By default, your user is not listed, and the add button greyed out. Click in properties of dll-->security--> advanced--> owner and change from trustedinstalled to your user. Your are now ableto add your user to the security list ;)

I copied the dll from my "old" vista x86 box, since I wiped vista off my laptop, as soon as 7 got RC. I'll email you the dll.

Yes, I aggree with you about these milestones in RTS development. Well, I left out a lot of RTS in between Warcraft II and III and now. Precisely because of some of your above mentioned points. One can argue about the hero concept in warcraft III... I didn't like it that much, except the dark ranger ^^ I tried Tiberium wars some time ago, huge disappointment... I tested suppreme commander... I am no full time gamer... consumes too much time. A friend is playing DoW, he

I partly aggree, especially most people expect RTS to be brainless clicking. You forgot some titles, I played, namely warcraft I & II. Generally, warcraft and starcraft made it to my heart. Another point, I want to mention, development(evolution) of a game engine. I think, one can clearly see it in warcraft title I up to III, eg *.mpg files, their arcives. Starcraft II will be, if I am right, the blizzards first title, implementing a customized&nbsp

Thanks for the hint :) well, here is the solution... It seems, from what I googled, that the Galciv2 hardware acceleration check has gotten somehow buggy, with DX11 implemented in build 7100. This will also affect Vista users, upgrading to DX11 soon! For x86: 1.

My Report after about one week win7 rc x64 running... 7 is really running smooth and fast so far, quite cleaned up, can really compare to a ubuntu x64 speedwise. Overall, I am the first time a bit impressed, that MS delivered finally, what the already promised for vista, get rid of some old win api. TA delivers a 'dx not initialized error' or 'drivers too old' when starting, depending on compatibility settings. At least, I got the vid driver to work, which was impossib

Exactly, because strictly taken, the FED is a private banking consortium, with a false suggestive federal in is name, trying to make it sound more govermental. If President Wilson, forgive I#M european if its wrong, would know... Who was 1913 President? was it wilson?

Reply to Socialism Vs Capitalism in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Did any of you ever wonder, why wars between rivals in history where limited in scale and time, since they could only fight, as long as the king/emperor got money. This changed with development of capitalism, as banking houses rose to power. Since then, the govts/kings were able to borrow money, filling the war case, thus money got privatized. Its not even a matter of the economic system itself, it a matter of money, and who controlls/owns/provides it and its flow. Thi
