Tons of money, or spending when slider below 0% in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I thought I would post this now before trying to recreate it to see what kind of a race I could start amongst us testers (should be fun). I moved the slider for spending to 0%, then clicked on the left arrow for spending, which put spending to some astronomical amount. Having done this by accident and not noticing what I had done I advanced the game a couple of turns. I then noticed that I was horribly in dept so I corrected the spending slider to 10%. Then

I have finally gotten past this problem. I have, arguably, the worst ISP around. I have diffinitively identified these failures to the tendency my ISP has to do strange disconnects and sudden cessation of input data. (Could this be a loss of syncronization?) Also, the error indications I got from DGM were very confusing, making it difficult for me to isolate and diagnose the cause. Please see my comments and suggestions in the drengin.cm news group for w

Reply to Error 13 data 13 while uncompressing explosion.mdl in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

After resolving the sds0004 problems I had after the first instance of this problem I am now able to run an install to this point with consistant regularity. If anyone has a clue for where to look for the source of this problem, please let me know. What type of problem is it? Where might there be some debug information with more data? Is this a file problem or a registration problem? Etc. Thanks, Jack

I just tried again to load GC. I found the following in the debug file. ---------- Debug Message: File size is is not correct: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\drengin\gc1\Base\Data\CoreShips.SHI_ Error: SDS0004 - Could not find file CoreShips.SHI_ on server http://scripting.stardock.com/ -------------------- So I deleted the file, and got further. This time I am looking at the file that failed before retrying. Here is what I have: file: GCTech.TEC_ Modified 1/11/2002 5:5

I haven't heard anything yet from Pat. Should I be looking for him (her?) on the drengin.cm news group? I tried checking if the server "scripting.stardock.com" was functional and got a home page from it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling BUGS, which worked without a problem. I suspect there is something residual on my system from the "error 13" I got with the first install of GalCiv I tried. Cheers, Jack

I have received some suggestions from others (in the wrong threads) that I have tried. If these are any help to Pat, I want him (her?) to have these resutls. 1). Uninstall and re-install GalCiv - I could only delete the GalCiv folder and try install again. No glory (:( 2) Uninstall (with unwise) and re-install DGM - again, NG (:( Thanks, Jack

Reply to Micro management in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

When playing GCos/2 I was using the goveners most of the time. I would turn a govener off for a planet where I was doing something special. When I got a new tech and had to change the list it would cause a disruption by switching to my new list before completing what was already in progress. This often caused lost work. If it was working on a project taking 400 shields and had completed 350, and I added a project that takes only 300 shields the loss was 50 shields. This

I have another thread for the error 13 message I got. Perhaps we should shift this discusion there. This forum REALY, REALY, needs a search capability. Jack

Brad wrote: "I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling". Brad, I assume you are refering to the "error 13" not to my query of how to do searches on this forum. See the two other threads I started today, one specifically for the error 13 problem and the other one about getting message sds0004 when trying to reinstall. BTW, with DGM, how do you "uninstall" if the install failed. The uninstall button is greyed out until the install succeeds. There
