Reply to Multiplicity Extremely Slow on Vista Secondary in Multiplicity WinCustomize Forums

Well, it's not the software, it's the connection. With a wired jack, everything is smooth as silk, 1-10ms ping times every time to the other wireless PC. In turn, the other wireless PC gets 1-10ms ping times to any computer on the wired network, and since both PC's are in the same room, I know it's not the wireless access point, or any interference (assuming so, although I do have an apartment above me). It really comes down to the wireless card on the XP box. Windows reports an ex

Reply to Multiplicity Extremely Slow on Vista Secondary in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

usually a bit eratic, first ping tends to be around 40ms, then they can range anywhere, but usually around 100-150ms, which should still give a mostly-smooth operation I would think. Certainly not enough to explain multiple seconds of delay sometimes... I'm going to plug the PC into a wired connection, and see how it works, maybe that will fix this issue. Thanks for your help so far though.

Well, I switched to the Belkin drivers, and my ping and loss rate both declined, but I'm still seeing the same problem with Multiplicity. I even tried setting the 'Power-Save Mode' in the driver options to 'Off' in hopes that might help, but it didn't. I'm not sure what else to try doing.

It's an Atheros AR5005G chipset, exactly the same as what's in the Vista machine. They're specifically Belkin F5D7000 cards, but I don't use the Belkin drivers on either machine. On the XP box, I used generic Atheros v4.2.0.82. For the Vista box, it found drivers for me automagically.

I'm running the Multiplicity trial v1.10, and I would like to use my Windows XP machine as the primary, and my Vista Business machine as secondary. Both machines are networked through 54Mb wireless G cards. I have it set up that way, and the connection works fine, but when I move the mouse to the Vista secondary, mouse movement becomes extremely slow, erratic, and jerky. It's impossible to properly control the mouse because it lags so far behind and jumps around so much. However, I k

For some reason, when a race gets defeated, they don't seem to actually be 'out' of the game persay. I always still see defeated races' influence points listed in the UP piechart, and if I have race selected from foreign relations, they are still selected even after they are defeated. Granted, you can't talk to them while they are selected that way, but the fact that they are still 'there' in some manner means that it's possible SD needs to modify the galactic events API to be sure it's select

Reply to Galaxy must become bigger! in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I too would love to see the ability to manually set the galaxy size, ESPECIALLY for non-square map sizes. I think it'd be quite interesting to play a 12x4 sector map for example, where the players all have to go through each other to find the others....

I agree on almost every single point here. Good list, and I'm glad someone took the time to lay it all out, and get our opinions heard.

Reply to Farm vs Ecomic Structure in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

AFAIK, the only way morale affects population growth is if you have 100% morale. At that point, you get a double in population growth for that planet only. I really only find this usefull at the very beginning of the game, where I need my colonies to grow quickly, so I set my taxes really low until my starting funds dry up, at which point I revert back to 35-49% taxes and only attempt to maintain morale above 45%. Note that if a planet's morale drop

I run GalCiv2 on my Dell laptop, an Inspiron 5160 , with the GF 440Go chipset as well. Instead of using drivers from Dell, go to OmegaDrivers.net and grab their copy of the Nvidia driverset. It's really old too, but still a lot newer and a LOT better than the ones offered by Dell. They also use real Detonator driver sets, so they make your card perform much better. I can run GalCiv2 at 1280x1024 and still get really good framerate with these drivers

Reply to Update on Cheater Flagged games in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

What if I didn't realize until now that the Metaverse flagged my game as having cheats, when it was just the -1 race points bug causing it? Can I still get that game counted as a non-cheating game, even though I don't have the ending savegame for it? I really don't like having that game on my record as a loss, especially considering I still haven't lost a single game yet, whether it's on Metaverse or not....
