KI ??? anyway it's already known that if you give ships to an AI it doesn't always use them, moreso if they are far away from its territory/planets

Reply to Alternate Resolution in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

although not practical you could try to use a "virtual desktop" with a bigger size (which would make you scroll around its surface) then launch galciv2 in a window not really practical though, and not even sure that works fine [e digicons]^_^'[/e]

Reply to Transfer a save game in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

what moosetek13 said, you still should be able to finish your game in DL, if you did not update it (galciv2 doesn't like version changes on a current savegame), and it's not possible to transfer it to DA...

I would first and foremost update the game to the latest version but that might not fix anything in your case maybe you could try to update your nvidia graphic drivers or check out that the game resolution is the same as your desktop

Reply to Crash to Desktop on Game Start in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

you could maybe try to use the same resolution as your desktop first, that is : 1280 x 800 if the resolution isn't selectable ingame you should be able to modify it in the "prefs.ini" file located somewhere around ".\My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor" where you should replace this : [code="asp.net"][Video] DisplayWidth=1024 DisplayHeight=768[/code] with this [code="asp.net"][Video] DisplayWidth=1280 DisplayHeight=800[/code

the current galciv2 autopilots work like this : -turn 1 moment 1 you select a ship without orders -turn 1 moment 2 you tell it to go to a place far, far away -turn 1 moment 3 since you just told the ship to go somewhere, the ship moves immediately -end of turn 1 you click the end of turn button, nothing special happens -turn 2 nothing happens, you give no additional orders to that ship -end of turn 2 the ship moves along its path -turn 3

[Fix for]Tutorials, Campaigns buttons grayed out in DL,DA and maybe some crashes too in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I made this thread, in the hopes to get it stickied and so that it's clearer based on recent findings. And also maybe kryo could transmit that info to stardock developpers It seems a handful of problems are linked to a lacking registry setting since galciv2 Endless Universe 2.x was put online. The culprit is simply a missing language setting. Symptoms : -Tutorials, Campaigns buttons grayed out in Dread Lords and Dark Avat

Reply to Newb Questions in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

When you think of it, it seems rather "logical". Stardock ran into issues with localization for galciv2 EU when they put it up on impulse. In the process, it seems stardock broke the standard english install process. I'll try to do a new thread and get it stickied to make it easier to find.

With those informations, I was able to reproduce the error from a working system it seems the language registry setting might be missing or incorrect, it holds the value "English" in my system and if blanked, just show the exact same symptoms here's a way to check this out if you wish so: [code="asp.net"]-Click on Start, Run, then type "regedit.exe" and click OK -on windows XP 32bits, Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Dren

[quote who="Vinraith" reply="3" id="1969083"]It does seem like a bit of a strategic error to have forced the Sins and GC2 communities over to Impulse before the platform was reasonably stable and bug-free. The comparisons with the proven, stable SDC platform are inevitable and invariably unfavorable.[/quote] sure I agree, but when you look at stardock, they need to go on and improve impulse and they don't have the time & money necessary to upgrade SDC which would just go to waste

because 2.0 is basically a freebie, sort of a bonus only available to impulse because SDC is a heavily patched application which would require additional updates to support the 2.0 update and all the new galciv2 versions (UL, EU ...) stardock team is also encouraging players to contact support/forums for sorting out their problems with impulse I guess it could be understood as a way to encourage players to move to impulse from SDC, since S
