Reply to Ethical Alignment in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Since when you reload the game you have Xeno Ethics, it sounds like the tech was marked as finished, the game was saved, then something happened that crashed the game before the popup could come up. I would recommend upgrading to the newest version of the game (ver 1.2) Unfortunately your saved game will not allow you to choose an alignment. However, if you have a previous autosave file from before the autosave, you should be able to recover.

If you are using McAffee virus scan, please disable it or have it ignore gc2launch.exe. If that does not help, please try running Galciv2.exe directly by selecting Run from the start menu and entering this: c:\program files\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2\galciv2.exe Then click OK or hit Enter to run it.

Reply to Tiny bug in the code... in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Please update to the newest version (version 1.2) and see if you still have this problem with ranger ships. I remember we addressed it in one of the updates. If you are using a saved game from a previous version of the game with the problem, the problem may continue but only for that saved game. New games started with the new version should not have this problem. If you still experience this problem after starting a new game with the new version, please let us know. Thank you.

Yes, by the time you get the angle you want the fight is over and you have to click replay, which kinda misses the point of the fight, if you know the results Just hit the pause button to pause the battle. You can still move the camera while the battle is paused. One of the things I like to do is wait for a ship to start to explode, then pa

Reply to No Planets Or Ships Showing in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

If this happens again, try changing the "Tactical Map Zoom Level" option in the Interface tab on the Options screen. This option determines the zoom level where the 3d models change into icons. Deleting and reinstalling would've set this to its default value so that's why it was fixed.

Reply to HELP! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

When you start the game, it creates a file called debug.err. This file is located in your /Program FIles/Stardock/TotalGaming/Galciv2 folder. Open the file in notepad, copy the contents, and paste them in a message here. We can probably determine from the information in that file why the game crashed. If you haven't already done so, please upgrade to the newest version of the game (Version 1.11) and check to make sure your video drivers are up-to-date.

Please try reinstalling. It sounds like a .dxpack file did not install properly. If that does not fix the problem, run the game, go to the screens that do not work, then exit.

That is by design. When you change the difficulty level, the intelligences of the enabled civs are adjusted to fit that dculty level. If you want to adjust the intelligences individually, set the difficulty first, then change each civ's intelligence.

Are you using mods? Try running the game without mods and see if that helps. You may also want to try an uninstall and reinstall to ensure that no important files are missing.
