Reply to Why I do not submit my score to the Metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Looking at the scores that have been submitted there are quite a few who have submitted their score but they have not registered their player name so there scores do not appear on the Metaverse. So if you want your scores to show on the Metaverse be sure to register your player! Also, I thought I would take a look at the won/lost ratio and about 35% are games lost and 65% are games that were won. There is nothing bad about submitting a game that you have not won. Who knows, if its a g

Why I do not submit my score to the Metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm just curious, for those of you who have not submitted your score to the Metaverse what is your reason(s) for not doing so. Also, I see there are many scores that have been submitted but they don't show on the metaverse because your player name has not been registered. If you were unaware of this then visit http://www.galciv.com/playerreg.asp and register your player.

Starone, does it even give you the field and button to update the rating? If it does what happens if you press the submit button?

I'm going to take a guess that its a cookie problem. I know Alexandrie has been trying to update some of the cookie code that handles the message board threads and I think that may be the cause of it. Apparently IE has a 21 cookie limit. So as a new cookie gets added for each thread and old one will drop off. It it happens to be your account cookie that means it will log you off. I know she is in the process of making it database driven but I'm not sure where in the process she is.

DGM test build 0.66.088 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have a new build of the DGM where its only checking the file date and ignoring the file time. It also fixes a minor bug in the resume code. Anyone what to give this a test and let me know how it works. http://www.stardock.com/products/drengin/temp/drengin_066_088.zip

gherardo, I'm confused. Did you even try .86? If .86 gives you any errors that it would be most helpful if you run it with the /d parameter and send me the debug.err file. Otherwise I wont be able to fix a problem I don't know about.

Ok, I just put a new build up (http://www.drengin.net/temp/drengin.zip), v 0.66.086. I removed the date checking. I think this will get you passed where you are. But by doing this, it will most likely cause the DGM Game Image files to be downloaded every time you open it up and if you cancel a download there is a good chance you wil have to redownload all the files. (This will only happen to those who are experiencing the one second difference error)

CoreShips.shi_ date is: 8/27/2002 4:19:29 PM When I save the compressed file I set the date. Other wise the date would be be whatever the current time was that the file was created. I used this date to know if the file is new or old. The API tha I uses to set the date is randomly changing the second. I havent figured out why yet. But I'm going to go create a build where I remove that date check for now.

Reply to DGM gives SDS0004 on "coreship.shi_" because of date missmatch. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

John, The problem you are experiencing is pretty interesting. I have about two others I know of for sure that have the exact problem. If you will notice the file dates the time is off by once second. Which is causing the files not to compare properly so the code thinks something failed with the download of the file. I just posted a new update about 10 minutes ago that address other date/format problems. I am curious to see if it fixes this problem as well.

Reply to Galciv no longer visible in DGM? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yes its been frusting for me as well. But I think I just took a step closer at getting it fixed. Magus - The server code decided all by itself to convert a database value from "True" and "False" to 0 and -1. When Brad updated GalCiv that caused it to be hidden.

Ok, I just put a new build of loader.exe and drengin.exe at http://www.drengin.net/temp/drengin.zip Again this is address the download errors and also "13 Type mismatch 0 Fatal Error". Some of the main problems that I have been experiencing is comparing the file dates compared to the dates we have on our server. Do to everyone having different date formats and MS Bugs its been a pain in the neck to try and get everything happy. Hopefully this build will finally fix all that (

If anyone else is still having download problems and you are using the test build at http://www.drengin.net/temp/drengin.zip and you have cleared your temp files then please run drengin.exe with the /debug paramenter and send me the debug.err file in your drengin.net folder. [email protected]

John Kistler - right now I'm just working on bug fixes. BGA-BR and Steevodeevo - Try deleting your temporary files. In your System Temp folder delete the Drengin folder. Your temp directory may be one of the following: c:\temp\ c:\windows\temp\ C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR LOGON]\Local Settings\Temp\ Also, you may want to try the build I just posted above. If anyone else is still having download problems and you are using the test build at http:

gherardo - Try this test build http://www.drengin.net/temp/drengin.zip I think this will correct the problem. And if you want to try the timeout parameter the easiest way is to run drengin.exe or loader.exe from a a command line: "c:\program files\drengin.net\drengin.exe" /t 20000
