Here's my feedback as I play First up when I loaded the game after install I had no text appearing anywhere in game, dialogue boxes, menus, descriptions or options! It wasn't due to a hung fonts installer, I checked My ATI Radeon 6740M had the most up to date drivers as of yesterday the 27th (Australia here, in the future) Updating to the Beta drivers fixed this problem, yay in game and can see things! <
I'm having the same problem, no text anywhere in game! Heres a picture of what I'm seeing. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=242913123 Yarlen's fix isn't for the issue I'm having as the install didn't hang, I tried it anyway. Steam validated the local files 100% I'm running an ATI Radeon HD 6740M with the most up to
I assumed that it was just a place holder and wasn't tied to anything as Steam may require an achievement for release if they plan on having achievements in later builds of the game...... Then I checked the stats and somebody, somewhere, has got that achievement. =| Fate,:beer:

[quote who="dougo33" reply="13" id="3451949"]I am going to do something more personal. Our daughter passed in December so I will name my star after her as a tribute to her. I know this isn't the usual way people go about naming things, but my wife liked the idea. It is a small way to help us never to forget her.[/quote] That's really touching dougo, I hope that you and your wife are coping with such a tragic loss. Fate, [
[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="5" id="3451935"]Ouch guy. I think you have at least another 8 hours from what the Stardock guys said. It is only midnight in Michigan (UTC - 4). I often thought it was neat to be on the early time zones of the day, but I guess this is one of the draw backs.[/quote] Yeah, I've resigned myself to accepting that I won't get this until late at night tonight but more likely play it until the 28th. Most of the time being in the future is

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="7" id="3451777"]Fate has been good to you.[/quote] I have my favourites. The part that has me most excited is resource x granting access to ship module y! That is going to be a brilliant shake up, strategic resources will really define how sharp your military is! A military with access to beefed up modules from strategic resources will be able to be smaller and just as effective, super keen for that. </p

Great list we have here guys, there's even some people from other time zones who's available game times are lining up with each other! Keep 'em coming! Hoping everyone put their local time for their availability! Fate,:beer:

I've never been more proud to be part of this community than this moment! Stay in school mate, there's always more to learn and areas to improve.

G'day Elite Guard, if everyone writes down their time zone and available play times we should be able to work out a list of people who are able to play together quite easily! I'll kick it off Time zone: UTC +8 Availability: Flexible Nice, short, sweet posts like that and we should be able to collate the information pretty easily. UTC and GMT are the same thing , also we're an international

Oh, nostalgia.[/quote] I'm more impressed that anybody that is this hard core a fan of the space based 4X TBS genre to be on the forum for a game that is still at least a year away from shipping even knows that other game genres exist, let alone picks up on a decade old FPS reference haha! :D Fate,:beer:

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="31" id="3449408"]You wouldn't let anyone aboard your ship who wasn't experienced, but the problem is the experienced crew only want to serve on the exciting jobs that they won't give you because you need experience under your belt for it not to be to risky.[/quote] Interesting proposal for boosting ship xp and possibly diplomatic relations too: War games. You could assign a fleet to practice manoeuvres in a sector

[quote who="Tridus" reply="26" id="3448859"]Why would a ship need to level up to get a special module? How does that make any sense at all?

GC is a science and materials based game, if my shipyard fits a module to a ship then the crew is going to be trained on it's use before it ships out lik
Planetary invasion in multiplayer should drop the attacker and defender into a counterstrike 1v1 on de_dust. The defender would be CT, for defenders advantage, troop numbers are represented by how many lives each person has - knife is an insta win ;) OP I echo everybody else here, if you're looking forward to GC3 pick up GC2 Ultimate and enjoy!
