Yeah, this place has GREAT tech support........... Most of us here are just gamers helping out because we want to. But with an attitude like yours I'll be damned if I assist. BTW, The Devs are here a lot - but you have to have a bit of patience.

Why make it more complex? I don't want the mm. Leave it like it is. IMO It's easier and much more fun to learn how to deal with the mechanics that to have to deal with tons more micro management; game balance issues that would require a complete rewrite of the aI routimes, and a much more cluttered UI. I am not the best nor the worst player - and I have figured out ways to deal with it, mainly learning over time how to optimize my e
No, there is a check box to break one in the Foriegn Relations Screen. Easy to do.
Ships are located in either My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\Metaverse\ships for metaverse games or \My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\ships for regular games. Just put the ship files (there are two types for each ship - an .xml file and a shipcfg file) in the folder. You may want to back up the contents first if there are any there.

It will eventually appear there anyway - sometimes the forum softwware needs time to update. What replying does is put in in the Recent posts list to the left and perhaps speeds up it's addition to the correct forum. However it is always visible in the 'Everything" forum.
You have to use Star Dock Central software.
Update your video drivers - there are some form last month. Try running in windowed mode at a smaller resolution. You may be trying to run at too large a resolution that does not support 32bit. The game requires 32 bit. If you cannot do the resolution in game,, go to your My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2 folder and edit the prefs.ini.

Research the Sensor Path in the Tech tree. You can get a Galactic Wonder called Eyes of the Universe to increase sensor range. Your planets don't have any real range. You cna build starbases with increasingly good sensors as you research them. Cheap large sensor ships are the way to go. Use a cargo hull and place a lot of engines to make them fast, and bunches of sensors. Early on I can make a ship with 5 speed, 6 sensor

You are running a dual cpu machine. There isa Sticky Thread with instructions on how to fix some things with that setup. https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=274&AID=102033#862130 You have to set Hyperthreading to 1 I believe. It's funny your debug.err log is not pulling all the dxdiag stuff - that tells me something is probably hosed with your directX install. Go to Microsoft's site and re-install it.
No. Sometimes a minor race will appear on a formerly uninhabitable planet - and it will become a Class 15. But that is the only way.
Your video drivers are older. There was a version relased last month try updating them for the video errors. As far as the other, I'm not sure what a Pokeman event is....
You need to reboot for the Beta3 patch to work properly. Try that.
There are two tutorials on Rally points that give you explicit instructions.
It is in the Foriegn Relations screen. Under the first tab.
Nice effort! The cheat codes are especially welcome! Thanks!
Without your full systems stats it is very hard to hlep you.

If that is all you are getting then your DirectX is screwy. The debug.err pulls from the directX diag. you can get this maually by typing 'dxdiag' in the Start menu/Run line. Once it comes up click show all information and savethe file to your desktop you can open it up with notepad - post the first 6 or 7 sections here.
Seems you used PayPal - you should have no problem getting your mione back. Contact them immediately - before the person can withdraw the funds. PayPal WILL prosecute them btw.
Can you post your debug.err log located in the main game folder?
NP - glad to see you are up and running!
SD is aware of it and has said this will be fixed in the release.
Copy the default music in \Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\music to another location (for backup). Rename the songs you want to use with the same name as the default song you want to replace and replace the one in the music folder.

Would be good to have the whole debug log. Need to see your system specs too.
Yeah - the UP proposition sets the speed to 7. Max and min. It is a bit confusing the way it is worded.
