[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="1" id="3533874"] Is it the same problem I reported in this post? Please take a look at that post and note the request from a developer for anyone else having the problem to open a ticket and send in the files they request. [/quote] Yes it appears to be the same, except you seemed to indicate that you were still seeing the main screen. The other responders repo
I have submitted a ticket on this. Around turn 250 (immense game with a number of opponents, a couple custom races and minors) I have started increasingly to have apparently random problems with the battle viewer presentation. It happens only once in a while, and I can reload the game without any other changes, do the same attack, and it may work! When it doesn't I get a black screen. I hear the battle sounds. When they finish I have tried to
A similar issue occurred to me when I attempted to trade a non aggression pact to my friends, the Altarians. They literally were willing to give away the farm to get it....lots of techs that they would have required a stiff bargain to get otherwise, all their cash, etc. My power rating was about 50% higher at the time but really. I agree, a balancing issue.
Point 1: Number 10 talks about the AI making friends. One particular aspect I think will make a huge difference at larger game sizes as the number of factions increases. First, that the AI be able with reasonable frequency to form alliances (the higher end of "friends") and that second they are able to coordinate attacks with their allies against a common enemy(s). This characteristic alone would make single player or co-op play in a big

[/quote] Edit: I should add that I haven't had any problem with sav files before, but perhaps their server is getting a bit busy since b5 launch. Dunno.

I am definitely now seeing this issue with a new race. Research extreme and get frozen, aquatic, etc. but not barren. Definitely weird.
One reason could be that you are trying to upload a big file (dmp). Why the message is what it is I don't know, but it happened to me and that seemed to be the issue. But you can either email the dmp file or you can put it in a host service like dropbox and send a link with the ticket.
Thanks for the pictures! Appreciate it!
I have gotten two free "lvl 10" planets. One was lvl 14, the other was lvl 16, and both were in star systems adjacent to my home world. I was actually thinking that maybe the idea was a minimum lvl 10, but evidently not! They should change the language or make the planet always lvl 10. And it should be "nearby", no doubt. Personally the fact that they are not colonized is fine, giving a planet that is already at full population (and is not a captitol
Update: Before completing a ticket I decided to try one more test. I started another new game, but this time just clicked "quick start". I then immediately tried to save and then reload the game. No problem! I then went back to several of my save games that had been giving the problem (namely, an attempt to load another game while a game was in progress). After about a hafl dozen attempts without any CTDs I have to conclude that somethin
B5: If I save a game, then perhaps move a ship without updating the turn marker, then (for who knows what reason, but whatever) when I click load, pick the save I just made, when I click yes on do you want to load screen, I get a CTD. Once this happened I tried it several times (with different games) and it happened every time. I am going to take a closer look at this before submitting a ticket because it may be more general and/or I may be able to supply mo
I believe at least once an update wasn't posted until Friday morning. And there is no guarantee that some nasty last minute issue will rear its ugly head and push the update to next week, although I haven't seen that happen yet. Meanwhile I am just cruising the net thinking about ways of building my next computer rather than just buying a prebuilt, so my time is being well spent imo.
The standard work around for large files is to upload them to a hosting site like dropbox and provide a link to it in your ticket. That's what I have been doing and it seems to work ok. At first it seemed like extra work, but now I use it to help keep problem stuff I have created organized in one place, then just upload what I need. Dropbox can also be used to post pictures directly into this forum, so it has additional uses.
"Roasted Drengin Shipyard". Hmmm, sounds like a cool restaurant!

I am all for differences between races --- after all, unlike earth based 4x games like civ, we are dealing with all aliens here. Still, as far as weapons go, it seems to me that the physics is going to be the same for all the races. Like back in the late 60s (you all remember, right?) the Klingons, Romulans, and the Federation all used similar weapons. Some races might prefer certain techs or discover them a little more quickly. Like the

" Fixed some performance and crashing issues in reference to hitting max graphical objects cap." Yeah, I think that one was my nemesis on immense maps. So, logically, first game on release of b5 will be...insane. No, that does not refer to my style of play, it refers to map size, of course! ------------- History says they release a couple days after posting the changelog.

I do careful micro for the first few turns, because it's critical imo. After that for new colonies I remember basic stuff like a factory is 30 points so if I have a new colony that has 13 max production I know the right setting at 100% social is 10 and the rest research to reduce waste. When the colonies are more developed I pay little or no attention unless there is a critical build in place. Say I want a tech cap built ASAP, then I will go 100$ social and set the wh
