If you are using a faction that is deeply unpopular (via triats), you have to put a lot of effort before folks will come to visit you -- sure, we're super rude and smelly, but at least we have cool things to see! </

I loaded Asus GPU Tweak II to check out what is going on with my video card when the game is playing. I fired it up and went down to 82. G. Eridani II. GPU temps started to rise but it wasn't spiking by any stretch. It went from went up 50 degrees at desktop idle to ~63 degrees (which is not super hot). Fan speed went from 50% at idle to ~71% so stuff is happening but the game still froze after 10-15 seconds after landing on the planet. The problem may be with the games interaction wi

I uninstalled the game, redownloaded and installed. Got about 1.5 hours in then crashes started happening again. I took off shadows as recommend by Brad, worked for a bit but then a crash happened. I am not getting the error reporting pop up by the way. When on the planet in a lander the graphics will freeze but the game continues to play in the background. You can hear the sounds going and you can still drive the lander around. If I randomly bump into a resource you can hear the collect

Hi folks. Long time Stardock customer with most Stardock games purchased and played. I am having the same graphics freezing problem as reported here. Mostly during lander missions. The game sound will continue to play like the game is working in the background for about 5-10 seconds but the screen is frozen (cursor works). Then it hard crashes back to the desktop. I lowered the settings and turned off v-sync as recommended and at first it seemed to have worked as my play time we

They fixed it again. When you click on the little dropdown next to Galactic Civilizations III you don't see the category Stardock Games anymore and the Recent Posts section only has Gal Civ III content. Let's cross our fingers it stays fixed!

Reply to thank you for fixing the forums in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm fairly certain that the cause of this is because the forum Stardock Games is somehow a subforum of Gal Civ III. See screenshot below: If you click on Stardock Games you can further select from Ashes, Offworld, etc. I chose one as an example. It's pretty strange that the Stardock Games folder is subfolder of the Gal Civ III forum. <img src="https://i.imgur.co

In an effort to illustrate the problem I have a couple of screenshots I grabbed. They show threads from other forums showing up when you are in the root Gal Civ III forum. This shouldn't happen. Right now there are not that many so it doesn't look bad but normally there are a ton from Star Control, Ashes, Sins, Other Stuff, etc. It makes browsing the recently active threads for Gal Civ III painful. I apologize in advance if the images are super large or break your browser. The first o

Crusade: Too much information in Stats tab in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I recently watched DevilDogFF's excellent Let's Explore videos. They give a quick but informative run-through of the changes to GalCiv III made by Crusade. I would like to second his opinion that some of the information on the Report and Stats tabs in the Govern screen should be hidden by default but unlocked with espionage. Below is a link to the part of the video where he shows the screens and discusses it: [video]https://youtu.be/JRF5XmypYQQ?t=1193[/video] I am ok with most

Thanks for your advice. I knew the problem was just me, not everyone, hence the reason I didn't put a [Bug] tag in the thread name. The problem is resolved but I didn't have any mods installed. I believe the glitch happened after I purchased the The Dead World DLC during the recent sale. I had verified the game but it kept saying 1 file corrupt so I uninstalled and reinstalled with no change. That is when I made my original post. Just now I uninstalled and ma

[1.5] Strategic Spells Cost Double in LH Support Elemental Forums

For some reason when I cast a city enchantment or any other strategic spell it costs double the amount that it should. For example, Propaganda should cost 20 mana according to the spellbook but when cast it reduces my mana by 40. If I'm not careful when I cast a spell it will take my mana negative and the next turn all my enchantments will be gone. This problem is very repeatable. It will happen on the first turn of a new game. I don't have any mods and it happens with a
