Obscure the fact your bedroom is a pigsty and you've surrendered the kitchen to the cockroaches with the distractions of terraforming class IV ice worlds. This is one of the most insulting things in the article - he is not just insulting the game - but he is insulting all who play TBS games. I know
Try increasing the size of your page file to at least 2 GB - 3 or 4 would be better. Your vid drivers are older, should not be an issue but you may want to upgrade them. If you can afford it, at least 1GB of Physical RAM would really help your performance - overall, not just the game. The game runs optimally with 2 GB of RAM available, but 512 shouild be okay - you may just need a bigger page file.
Beta available on SDC now.
bump to appear.
Just downloaded it from SDC - can't wait to try the new aI - I've been salivating since reading Draginol's Journal on it the other day!
It’s not about trust, it’s about needles junk on my system. Better SDC than a rootkit DRM scheme. Besides, SDC does nothing unless you run it. But hey, once the release version update is out, you can get it from SD - you don't need SDC except for the betas.
I have no problems with upgrading ships away form planets. As has been said, they take several weeks to upgrade - and while upgrading they only have 1 hitpoint. It's a financial and strategic risk/reward decision you have to make. Don't take away strategy choices - that is what this game is all about.
@Martimus I agree. Especially with auto setting the spending to 0 - I always forget. @OP - I get a lot of stolen techs - depends on the game and how advanced I am in research too. If I have all the techs, it's hard to steal things that don't exist!
Hey - wait a minute - you forgot to mention the evil people who never update any video drivers. This game is perfect - if you are having any issues - from a supposedly poor AI with no personality, to your pc smoking like a 77 Ford with an oil leak - it ain't the games fault. It's because you haven't updated your drivers in the last 48 hours - and anyone knows 3 day old drivers suck. Uh oh - it's time to go make a sacrifice to
Smart Exception will log the IE crashes if you have it running - I have been doing that and sending them in to Stardock support.
Torians made slightly nicer ("more gooder" ). How much did they pay you ????? BTW, The grammer nazis here are really gonna have fun with this one! I am thrilled you have worked on th
Get it right - don't hurry. The Earth is slow but the Oxen are patient.
What country are you from? There were serial number issues - check the sticky posts on the top of the Everything forum for more info. Are you inputting the right serial number on a US version? There are two - one on the CD sleeve and one on a separate peice of paper for the Collector's edition. Email stardock support if you continue to have issues.
You can start by updating your Video drivers. Beta4 may be a bit more picky than earlier builds. Looks like you played awhile before crashing - is this contrary to your original post? Is this a debug log from a game you are having issues with? Not real good at reading debug logs (yet) - forgive me if I am wrong here - but it looks like you told the game to quit at the end after you Quick saved.

You can quickly check on what's building on all your worlds in the Civilization Manager screen. When I see nothing I double click on the planets name and it will open up the planetary window.
I change my builds to nothing with no issue in the Civilization Manager screen. Right click on the Shipyard you want to change and do it from there. I hardly ever clcik around to planets anymore since I found out you can do it in this screen.
Well, you put a lot of effort into the post. Seems like you did a lot of work on the post for a game you don't seem to enjoy. Sorry if that is not true, but that is how it reads to me. I totally disagree with your assesment of no personality in the aI. But I guess opinions are like noses - we all have one. However it is not an opinion that they all play the same. That is not true. There is a different aI routine for each o

1) Can't coment. Never use it. 2) I will make sure I have at least 70% approval on all planets a few weeks before the election. I have squeeked by with upper 50's as a Republic ( during a war when I could not lower production) - would not want it to be that low as a Federation though. I will tax as high as I can the rest of the time and still keep my planets in the 40's - it's only when elections are near that I lower the taxes. Turn
@Gamefan 1981 I say this respectfully, Then don't expect a lot of us to bother reading it. I just click back when I see a post like that. It hurts my head and is really hard to comprehend. Not worth the time.
@Kirill Choulga I respectfully disagree with your premise. Why pick the same bonuses if you are playing as a different race? What's the point in that??? That is not a game issue.... Again, I do find each race has it's own identity and way of doing things. Difficulty level, map size, and star/planet combos have a lot to do with how they act. Try diffent things. Each has it's optimal situation where you will really
Sometimes they just don't appear as frequently as other times. I have had them appear in all patch levels. Some games I see one, some games I see several at different points in the game, some games I have not seen them at all.
1) Option to play against Custom races you design. 2) Option to play in different Universes - kinda like the Neighborhoods in The Sims. 3) Truly alien Races that you can't communicate effectively with and will misinterprit your actions a lot 4) 'Starflight' type quest scenarios to save the galaxy 5) Ability to share a planet with Opponents. They have one continent and you have another. 6) Anomol

@Gamefan 1981 Use the Print Screen button on your Keyboard. Paste into the image editor of your choice.
If you play in Windowed mode you can alleviate the memory issues somewhat if you have low RAM machines - everytime you minimixe the Window the Physical memory will be released. Windows OS ( 2000 & XP) uses different Memory management models for apps that run in Full screen mode vs apps that run in a Window. To solve page file defrag issues set your page file size manually - make the minimum and maximum size the same. And if possible put in
