You can see the ships of other races in unexplored space, even though you can't get the text for such a ship to display. I am getting a screen shot and sending it to Scott.

This is probably another case of the display not being updated immediately under a specific situation. After a turn or two I looked at the domestic policy screen again and saw that the overall approval rate now tracks with the tax rate. In line with this, if a planet is currently selected while the tax rate is being altered, the approval rate of a planet should also track with the spending rate immediately. With the current code, you either have to desele

Some tiles have indications that certain types of improvements will get a bonus benefit, such as "7% bonus to culture", but it is not clear with all of the possible bonuses which improvements these apply to. For instance, does "culture" aid improvements that add to a planet's "influence"?.

Once I discovered that the colony ship was not moving, I moved it manually for a couple of turns then set it to a new destination and now it is moving.

Downloaded and started B3, started a new game, and set the original two ships in motion, first the survey ship with the "A" command (autosurvey) and then the colony ship by right clicking a destination some 10 tiles away. The survey ship moves automatically and explores anomalies successfully, but the colony ship just sits there (it was three or four turns before I noticed it hadn't moved). Once I discovered that the colony ship was not moving, I moved it manually

That is where the picture of the planet appeared in B2. B3, no planet picture.

Why should fleets be limited? The AI has the same options the human player does. GC1 didn't have a limit that I could find (I had a fleet of well over 100 ships at one time).

Windows XP Pro home version gives the same syntax as you show above. You might try one of the two formats that creates an output file and see what it produces. This raises some new thoughts, that I have to ask Cari, if I can get her on the Galciv chat. If I do, either Cari or I will post something further here.

Wow. Everyone must be getting bored with the same old Beta 2 bugs if they are all jumping on a new bug report this way. It must be just about time for Beta 3. Right Stardockers? Soon?

After a few games without changing my race's abilities it looks like the abilities I had selected have increased with each new game I played. For instance, planet quality, which I selected as a +5, is now at +25.

Rotating view of ship - such as in the ship design window
in Galactic Civilizations II
GalCiv2 Forums
GalCiv2 Forums
Can someone give me a way of making the left and right arrows for rotating views of ships make sense? From the begining of Beta 1 I have been hitting the right arrow to make a ship rotate counter clockwise (with the ship facing me, I want the ship's nose to go right, so I press the right arrow) and the left arrow to make the ship rotate clockwise (nose to the left), but the ship always goes the opposite direction. I just can't seem to get myself trained to click the

Glenn, one additional thought. It is possible to turn on or off some of the DirectX accelerator options using the DXDIAG command. You may want to ask Cari which ones GC2 is dependent on, and check to make sure that they are on. All other things considered, it really looks like the key indicator to your problem is the failure of DXDIAG when called from within GC2. There are a whole lot of us testers playing GC2 without getting the symptoms you are, so I am f

Have you looked at the debug.err file in your galciv2 directory? The game puts a lot of hardware information there. You should see a report on the display support, and it should show the level of DirectX (9.0C is required by GC2) and the graphics card drivers and driver levels (the dates should be recent, as the drivers must support DirectX 9.0c). Since you found new drivers you should have the driver dates. The dates captured and displayed in the debug.err file shou

I selected a game for demo and, after looking at the description text in the download window decided I didn't want it anyway. But I could not find out how do abort the request. If we select a game for a demo, are we locked into downloading the demo? Can't we abort it if we change our minds?

Perhaps there should be a sequal to GC that concentrates on type II civilizations. Call it "Type II Galactic Civilizations". Or how about "Universe Civilizations", after all, beyond exploring and exploiting the galaxy is exploring and exploiting the universe. The story line would start after the completion of the GC tech "final frontier". Nnnaaahhh. It would have to be so super theoretical that most people would not be able to buy into it, and the game
