Reply to I Miss Auto Scroll in Ideas Stardock Forums

I like the completion list GC1 had better than the dropdowns. I have had times when I had more dropdowns than room for them, and I like to scroll through them to see what has happened. I find that the way they dissappear before I am ready for them to be gone is vexing. Sometimes I need to keep that notification, even if I have already used it to examine the completion event more closely.

Inconsistant sort orders between ship list and QBL. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

There is at least one inconsistancy in the sorting of entries between types of list. I have the ship list in "ship building" mode and my "Fighter G.S Mk 1" entries come before "Fighter b.pa Mk 1" (note the lower case b.pa) and a Quick Build List for ships where my "Figher b.pa Mk 1" comes before "Figher G.S Mk 1". Obviously one of them is sorted without consideration to case, the other sort is case sensitive. I find this creates confusion when I am trying to use the QBL. IMO sorts for these list

Reply to Beta 3A CTD when generating galaxy... in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

i realised somting if we all do a complete uninstall IE:Cleanslate and do a complete installation we are a lot less likly to get CTDs and stuff If done when warrented, yes. Otherwise it eliminates a very important test of the product --- success in delivering an upgrade.

Reply to Crash at start of the game in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

You may wish to look at post https://www.galciv2.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=274&AID=85471 At least, it is worth a try until the developers return. (Tomorrow is Labor Day, so I wouldn't expect them until Tuesday.)

Reply to Beta 3A CTD when generating galaxy... in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Alorial, A few of us are seeing problems from corrupted files that might be due to a problem with the Beta 3A update. It has been suggested to me that perhaps (hopefully) the full install package may be different. At lease, a full uninstall/install worked for me. If you do this, make sure you delete the saved game file after using SDC to uninstall GC2. See my post at : https://www.galciv2.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=274&AID=85593 And good luck. Tomorrow is Labor day and it

Reply to Did the Beta 3/3A download fail to upgrade everything it should have? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I haven't quite gotten to the point of advocating that everyone do an uninstall/install yet. So far the only affect I have found for sure is in the color selection for boarders and outlines. However this one artifact seems to be the cause of many observations that look like other problems, such as missing social improvement options, inability to advance beyond colonization events, etc.. My suggestion at this point is if you are plagued by problems that might be caused by this and hav

Reply to Question: Do Factories make Mines obsolete? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

After a complete uninstall/reinstall all of a sudden the scroll bar for the list of available social improvements is showing up. The list only uses about half the space available (Cari or Scott, is there something else planned for the lower half of this area? Or is this a bug?). This raises the question, could the mining option (which was on the bottom of my list) have been outside the viewing area for the list? Watch here for the results of further testing. (I have not yet gotten the mining and

Reply to Enemy ships show through "fog of war" in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

They are back. I can see the ships of the other races on the main view through the FOW. There seems to be some delay or other event involved with when they appear. I have reloaded this game from the desktop and a saved game more than once.

Reply to Did the Beta 3/3A download fail to upgrade everything it should have? in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Much of the color selection for outlines, such as scroll bars, button pads (such as camera view controls), highlight selection, etc. seem to have been corrupted by upgrading from Beta 2 to Beta 3. The color that resulted was a very dim olive color that was very hard to see. The color after the uninstall/install is now a proper cyan.
