I also checked cable. If I don't launch GC3 all is fine for days.

Starting GC3 crashes and removes disk from Win7 !!! in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION Have downloaded GC3 from steam today. Installed on disk E under steam app. Launched, I get the splash screen with the Drengin and Launching......... minutes long. Then an error appears "GalCiv3.exe has stopped working" and I can only close it. At that point I'm back to desktop and have also found that the whole physical E disk disappers (not even on HW list) and gets back only with an HW restart (shutdown). OS do

Mine fields in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Are you planning any mine fields equivalent in the game? Then we would also need mine layers modules and mine sweeper modules and sensors would have an additional role. I'd like to have them added because can add a new interdiction dimension to a mostly flat map and help less developed races to defend.

Some basic info to help me decide to join in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Frogboy, I've scanned the site and forum to get some basic info before joining but didn't get them all, possibly my fault. 1) what are the main improvements from GC2? 2) what is the target HW-SW for playing GC3? Win7-64, Phenom X4-945 + 8GB + Nvidia GT9500 is OK? Since Steam is also planning some linux, is that an option? 3) when do you plan alpha? whan do you plan to move to beta? Thanks for your answers from a GC and GC2 old player.

Thanks for continuing addition of titles for those still having tokens. That is a real "customer first" attitude. gherardo PS: just bought SINS and entrenchment. My next will be GC3. I'm too old to learn too many games.

Reply to Vista is gone - but it went down kicking and screaming in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

I use XP and Linux (Ubuntu). I have tried Vista on a dual core 2GB machine and found it nice looking but useless like a playmate on the paper. Right now both companies and users are not moving massively to Vista besides the pre-installed base. They simply find no reason for all the hurdles and cost. Some are switching to Mac some to Linux, most keep XP. I assume that MS will sooner or later try to force a switch (tried it with DirectX 10), but is dangerous as could loo

Reply to Human vs. AI Death Match: Game 2 in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I did alter the basic terran race changing the name and a few things. It happens that randomly choosing the other races the terran alliance is selected. It then happens that my ships and their ships aren't recognizable and also is a mess on the minimap. Could you better check at least that each race has a unique very different colour on the map or that I can explicitly not use some races? Thanks, Gherardo

Reply to 10 things GalCiv II 2.0 needs still in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I fully support n° 10 Make wormholes permanent, and not 1-time-use! That would be AWESOME! It would be even better if also freighters could use them and have them reported on the minimap as I travel them.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II v2.0 Preview in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks a lot for V2. Clearly a bonus for us. For V2: 1) race colors on the map are too close to distinguish and there are not too many clarly differente colors: what about adding a second color mapping like in flags? 2) more advanced governors like those we had even in galciv for OS/2 3) other ideas like those Planets/mines/starbases trading and minimap on diplomatic screen --></sp

Reply to The future of Galactic Civilizations in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I think there is a "next OS" problem around in general and for Stardock too. XP is well entrenched for both professionals and gamers. The former are less than the later but pay for their games. XP end of life will be declared sooner than later. Vista is a flop besides preinstalled and MS will have to take care of it quickly. In the meantime users like me have both XP and Linux on different machines and corporations are moving slices of users to Linux where poss
