Reply to 1.8 -- "Fleet has no trade ships" ????? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Erischild: The last ship selected during your turn remains selected through End Of Turn processing, so you cannot count on the message to refer to the ship shown as selected.

Reply to 1.8 -- "Fleet has no trade ships" ????? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I really don't think so, but it sounds like as good a guess as any. I do not let my survey ships travel that freely. If the same might be true for colony ships, then perhaps that is what is happening, but, let's face it, such a message for such an occurrence, regardless of the ship class, goes beyond confusing. Worse, I had no indication what so ever of the location of the problem, or the name of the ship involved, hence, no clue what so ever to help me figure out what to do about wha

1.8 -- "Fleet has no trade ships" ????? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

What gives? I know that I have one trade route as yet unassigned, I have one trade ship being built, and still have potential trade partners. This message just popped up out of the blue during end of turn processing and I have no idea why. What is it trying to tell me?

Reply to How do I design my ships so the design gets updated with completed research? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Erischild, you may be closer to what I am asking for, but maybe not quite. I remember all through the Beta that there was supposed to be a way to create ship templates that were used to automatically create ship designs that automatically had the latest technology. You created a skeleton design that automatically got the latest engines, weapons, and armor, and gave the template a name that the game added "MK0", "MK1", (or something similar), ... to it. I guess you could call this a ship

Reply to How do I design my ships so the design gets updated with completed research? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

This is not what I was looking for. I want to build an "outline" of a ship design, or a template, like what is done for the core ships.

How do I design my ships so the design gets updated with completed research? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I design and use my own ships, but I am finding that I have to add a new ship design each time I complete a research that adds ship capabilities. I have heard that it is possible to create templates that will automatically include newly researched technology (such as better engines; beam, missile, or mass driver weapons; defensive modules; etc.). What does it take to do this?

It would be nice to know how much money decommissioning a ship would bring before accually pressing the button to decommission the ship, I.e., in a tooltip when the mouse is hovered over the decommission button.

Reply to Turn speed slowed? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Is there any game in the world that can handle so many opponents? The processing power it takes to play so many is huge. I really think it will take more than just a GPU upgrade to improve the performance significantly. It will also take a CPU upgrade. Also, you should probably watch your CPU/GPU temps as well. Many CPUs and GPUs will automatically reduce clock speed to avoid being burned out.

Scroll bar behavior is in need of improvement. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I am bringing this up again after having asked for it in the beta of GC1, GC2, and the alpha and beta of GC3. Because of common usage across the entire scope of Windows applications, when I click on the shaded area of a scroll bar of an item list that contains more items than is in the display, I expect the list to move the first undisplayed item and all of the succeeding items that will fit into the displayed portion of the list onto the list. This is practically an industry standard

Reply to Automatic queing of Starbase modules to shipyard build queues gets in my way. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I tried the uncheck option in reply 3, and luckily only had 14 Starbases to do it on. With an Insane size galaxy with the potential of hundreds of Starbases it is clear to me that a game wide option is needed, one that allows us to pick what the default condition is so that we can turn it on or off for individual Starbases as we desire when we desire with a minimum of fuss.

Automatic queing of Starbase modules to shipyard build queues gets in my way. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Is there any way to turn off the currently automatic queuing of the building of constructors for the creation of Starbase modules? The way it is done is extremely disruptive to my playing style.

Reply to Some return of options from GalCiv 2 and others in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Also missing are some of the sorts GC2 had, although the sorts that have been added to GC3 are helpful. The one from GC2 that I miss the most is the ability to sort unoccupied planets as a target for my colony ships.

Reply to The GalCiv III v1.3 Preview Thread in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

1) Sorts. All of the lists in the game need improved sorting capabilities. See the list sorting capabilities of GC2 and start there. Sort planets, ships, starbases, etc. by name, type, class, size, distance from selected ship or planet, population, population capability (i.e., how much food), production, morale, top item in production queue, etc. Distance and non-ownership is of particular importance in "goto" lists. 2) Filters. Discovered planets by ownership or non-ownership and sor

Reply to Crash on Startup in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Romero, please notice that your DxDiag output has one significant difference from the one posted by mxrsmoothx. His (her?) output clearly shows the integrated HD4600 data as the second display device in the "display Devices" section while yours repeats your NVidia GTX 970 data instead of listing the HD4600 data. This is what makes me think your problem could be a conflicting set of GPU driver settings? This is the biggest reason I think your problem is likely to be the result of a diffe

Romero, have you opened a support ticket? It sounds like you may have conflicting settings for your two GPUs (integrated plus 970). Stardock will be the best place to get the help you need.

Reply to Game Not Launching in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I don't see anything that shows me directly what your problem may be, but I do see one or two things you can try. Your processor is one of those that has an integrated GPU on the Intel chip set. What is strange here is that your DxDiag output doesn't show the HD4000 data, but instead shows your NVidia GPU twice (or do you have two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970s on your PC?). This may be because of a system setting that controls the cooperation between the Intel GPU and (in your case)

Reply to Crash on Startup in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

You have a paired integrated GPU driver on your Intel chip and an NVidia GPU. While your NVidia driver is not quite current (latest version is 353.62, which is Win10 ready) it should be fine for the game, but your Intel HD4600 GPU driver is just over a year old. I am willing to bet that when you try to use the Computer manufacturer supplied utility to update your integrated GPU driver it is telling you that it is already up to date. If this driver is your problem (and there is nothing I see y

Reply to running out of Ram after 6.5 /16 GB (Restart nessesary) in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Not sure, because there are a number of things that would be of use in the output of a DxDiag run. The first thing I would check with what you describe would be the OS's virtual memory settings. With 16GB of RAM you minimum should be 16GB and your maximum should be at least 3 times that.

Since Windows 10 has finally arrived I have been perusing some forums on Win10 and came across a MicroSoft forum listing the games that run on Win10 titled " List of Games working on Windows 10 ". I didn't recognize any of Stardock's games in the list. Brad has mentioned that Stardock has been testing GC3 on Win10 so I would gues
