yes unless you get the fix that Cari posted in the Tech Sharing UP Issues in 1.13 thread it should be the 1st post in that thread theres a text file that tells ya how to do the changes ~SDC~ [Message Edited]
Slothrop I suggest updating your vid card drivers ~SDC~
lol I play on Gigantic all the time :) and nobody said I knew how to read :) ~SDC~
the next release is sheduled to be out this thursday (Jan 22nd) the save game bug they know about and has been killed (as well as a ton of others) their hoping to have the races in and a few other things in by then if not hopefully they'll put out a "mini" update that fixes the savegame bug everyone has ~SDC~
the specs you have typed out Hurley it should run Xp with no problems the Bios should have nothing to do with whether XP runs or not the key factors are p 233 or higher and 96 meg of ram (yes they say it'll run in 64 but its slower then heck) your machine is more then capable.... ~SDC~
Hurley, Cari asked me to do some checking on stuff for ya....what was the OS the puter had when you got it new? cause downgrading to a os thats older then the 1 that came with it isn't gonna have the drivers the hardware needs to run right at all if the puter came with lets say XP home downgrading to 98se isn't a good idea ~SDC~

The Best Diplomat is a fully armed Excalibur :) Peace through superior firepower :) ~SDC~
heres a oops I did just today I tossed a test AP exe in the normal Gal Civ folder stead of the AP folder can you say DOH! :) ~SDC~
this is a petition to raise Cari's "ranking beyond what it is to befit the fact shes the one basically to write our favorite game vote here to show stardock that she deserves a "upgrade" in rank :) ~SDC~
Stardock Forums
nope :) and this is to the other readers in the forums cause you (Cari) and I were dealing with that very problem most of yesterday (monday) afternoon :) ~SDC~
Cari today explained to me in great detail what would be involved in fixing the disappearing ship bug......she said about 10 things that would have to be changed in the "deep gut of pear" to fix the bug I summarised what she had said with "Royal pain huh?" and she laughed and said yes :) so the chances of it being fixed in my opinion are about zip especially since it can be dealt with by a quick save and reload ~SDC~

Today (well yesterday now) I bumped into the senate bug myself I sent her enuf (I hope) info to find and kill it :) ~SDC~
actually the save game bug is fixed but in the process she accidently added a few more (she sent me a test exe) I have yet to bump into the 1's shes seen herself thats why it hasn't been posted yet ~SDC~
hmmmm I sent her a gift card to help her mt dew habit...:) tho she could use the money for anything they have I guess :) ~SDC~
Shambles you misread what I said the fix I'm talking about is for the pay addon not for your problem you need to start over sorry ~SDC~
yes theres a fix for the save game goof in AP and Cari's is gonna try to talk Brad into posting it tomorrow so everyone can get it and yes it works fine for me :) ~SDC~
more then likely you'll have to start over just like me she sent me in a email a test exe to fix the save game troubles in AP and it now lets ya load the save games whoopie :) (making mental note here to have sent 2 cases of mt dew for our favorite Elf) ~SDC~
oh it does ALOT of thinking :) its thinking of ways to humilate you completely then rub it in your face when it does :) like these for instance You are defeated. It is useless to resist. Don't make us destroy you utterly. When we get done with you, you'll wish you had stayed up in the trees of East Africa where you belonged. Grovel now and we may let you live. Maybe. You humans are pitiful warriors. Maybe you are better at begging. Let's see how well you do.
use the Altarian Prophecy for drengin.net users thread :) ~SDC~

yeah me too.... I want it myself more for the stuff thats not in it yet (the 2 new races the ships the events etc) :) more then the editors tho I probably will play with them when they make it so you can use what ya make with em right now the fact ya can't save the games and play em more is a bummer ~SDC~
Stardock Forums
they are aware of the can't load save games problem with Altarian Phrophecy the stuff isn't fully there its the 1st beta don't expect it to be complete already the reason they released it was to let us play with the editors nothing more actually they really shouldn't even be calling it a beta at this point cause alot of the stuff isn't in it yet the full release isn't supposed to be out till sometime in Febuary Give the gang time to get it finished before yo
on a gigantic galaxy and lots of ships etc it can take awhile after each turn cause the game has to do alot of calculating for the AI's and etc especially the further along in the game you are.....if you can move your mouse the game isn't crashed....the only "crashes" I've seen Gal civ do is drop you back to the desktop....as for just freezing....no on my older then dirt Internet sharing box which is way below the p 3 600 mhz minimum it plays you wanna talk bout slow and acting like its froze :)

calling it stardock approved is kinda funny considering Cari herself made the patch :) ~SDC~
no its not you it IS the best AI period not just in TBS games :) ~SDC~
The driver irq not being equal is the exact same trouble I was having. updating my sound drivers fixed it....does your board have a c-media CMI-9739A chip in it? if it does goto C-Media's website for the newest driver ~SDC~
