Reply to 1.2 Beta 2 -> Bugs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've seen the mysterious planet upgrades too. I was playing a small map with abundant planets and abundant habitable planets. I was frustrated to find that ALL of the stars near my homeworld were void of habitable planets. Just a few weeks into the game, I looked at the zones of control on the minimap and noticed that all of the "empty" stars had been occupied by my enemies. Once I got a ship there to re-explore the area, there were plenty of habitable worlds but the enemy had occupied them alre

Reply to Beta 1.2 bugs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hi guys, I don't have many problems with the game, so the crash to desktop I just had was surprising. I was playing a campaign game, designing a new ship. I accidentally picked a name that was already in use, so the game asked me if i wanted to replace the existing design (and reccomended against using the same name). So, I chose "yes" to replace the existing design and it CTD'd. I'm saving a copy of my current log file/savegame, and I'll post/e-mail on request.

Yep that was a bug. Yesterday I fixed the battle code that was causing ships not to fire back. Thanks for fixing the bug. I guess I'll have to actually research ship tech and upgrade armor now. lol

Reply to Beta 1.2 bugs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Here's a small thing I've noticed with the beta. First I tell a ship to travel to a distant location, and the autopilot system places a notation at the destination saying how many weeks it will take to arrive. On my next turn, I change my mind and tell the ship to go somewhere else. The small notation at the original destination remains forever. Well, I'm not sure if it is still there after save and reload. I have been able to reproduce this one many times. Not sure if this

Reply to Beta 1.2 bugs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hey, love the beta so far. Great work guys. I was looking for the bugs mentioned above, but have only seen a couple of things. My local copy is unmodded beta 1.2. 1- I saw the "Custom Race" as an enemy, but it changed to one of the standard races after the first encounter. 2- I started a game and sent my flagship out to find planets. ALL of the planets around my homeworld were class zero except my starting world. I found good planets on the other side of the map,

Reply to Copy protection follow-up in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, TheBlip has a good point there. I mean, I still play my original copy of the original X-Com once in a while (although it runs a little too fast). What will happen to this game farther down the road?

Reply to No mini-expansions, big full expansion instead this year in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I was excited about the mini-expansion, so that's too bad. GalCiv2 is an awesome game, and more of a good thing is almost always better. However, I'm sure Stardock will not disapoint us. The patches have been awesome, and those are just bug fixes and extra content provided in their free time at no cost to us. Imagine what they must have planned for a full x-pack that they expect us to pay

Reply to Problem with deleted ship designs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

CodeCritter, thanks for reading the posts and responding. I will have to do some experimentation and see wether I can get it to mess up again or if it was just me messing up. I'll be sure to get specifics if I think I see it happen again.

Reply to Problem with deleted ship designs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I have had problems with deleted designs poping back up later too. Based on what I see above, maybe I just needed to restart the game after deleting the designs? Did I read that correctly? It won't really delete the ships entirely from my system until I exit and restart? I tend to leave the game running for several days at a time and just alt-tab back and forth to windows, so I don't restart between games very often. Yeah, managing old designs/names is getting to be cumbersome because

Reply to The AI vs. Summer in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Actually, I rather like the idea of first person space battles, with me as the pilot, or one of the pilots in a fleet, controlling my own ship. It certainly would make the battles more interesting. Can't think of the name of it, but there was a game that put you in the pilot seat during the space battles. If the ship had more than a nose gun you could change seats to

Reply to The AI vs. Summer in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, the updates and fixes are REALLY appreciated by the majority of us. We just don't post much because we are happy and there's not much to say. I read this forum all the time but I seldom post anything because you seem to be reading my mind, and everything I could ask for has already been provided. Having said that, I just have two things in mind that could be added in the next patch. 1. In space combat it would be really great if you could add a flight simulator so tha

Don't get discouraged by a little negative feedback Frogboy. I'm a programmer too, and I know the feeling. Personally, I think if you really look at the number of people who are active on this forum, you should be proud. They may have some negative attitudes, but the fact that they're here, trying to make a contribution, says that they are playing your game. Keep in mind that many of them are probably very young, and probably don't even realize they are being obtuse. I get more negative feedback

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II v1.2 Betas targeting this week... in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Anybody have a spare can of Wife-B-Gone? I need the advanced 3-Day Relief formula with added Kids-Away.. My thoughts exactly. The home remedy for this is to stop taking showers two days in advance and assign chores to any kids in sight.

Reply to Poll: Would you be interested in a large package of hulls/ship pieces for $8.95? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I voted yes because I'm assuming that you're talking about some SIGNIFICANTLY different design components. Something more organic, or something resembling space versions of naval vessels perhaps? I don't mean to turn the thread into a wish list thread. My question is: what kind of stuff are we talking about here? If it's just more of the same, then I would be less likely to bother with the download. However, if it's actually cool stuff, I'll buy it for sure. Aren't there a

Reply to Ship hitpoints, starbase, combat & ship design bugs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

This looks like a good thread to add this bug. I designed a custom ship from scratch and picked a 'random cool name' out of my head (I don't remeber what it was now). The problem was that the computer decided to use the same name for one of its core designes later in the game. From then on, the computer got all confused about which one I wanted to build, which one I wanted to upgrade, and which one I wanted to delete or obsolete. (I selected the one I wanted, but it deleted the other

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II v1.11 released in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

This makes the games from the old version load longer it seems. Yeah, they said in the release notes that you shoud abandon your old save games because the patch won't work correctly with them.
