Similar to the above. On the planet screen the tool tip for Starbase is not clearly visible.

Text problems in 0.60 in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

First thing I noticed in 0.60: When starting a new game and selecting a race, many of the tool tips for the race traits have the text cut off or only partially readable.. I am running AMD HD 5770 with at 1920x1280. If you need more info, please ask. <span style="font-

Reply to How Long Has Your Current Gaming PC Lasted? in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

My Dell xps 8100 is 3.5 years old. I still have the original equipment - 8 gb, 3.2 ghz i5, (it says multicore 2, hyperthread 4) 1 Tb HD, AMD HD 5700 video. I still can't see any reason to update it. It would be nice to have a SS drive but its not necessary. I don't play "twitch" games like action shooters, so I don't need max frame rates. My reflexes are such that I just get frustrated with those types anyway. Whe

[quote who="androshalforc" reply="17" id="3510754"] will it blend? [/quote] Well I am guessing that the plethora of pointy things on it will shoot out bullets and flame-like stuff and death rays, so I would say it is not meant for "blending" but rather "utter destruction". I suppose even if it had a sign saying "Blends well with all races, we come in friendship" I, for one, would NOT believe it.

Interesting. I have been playing quite a bit, and I have never had a CTD. But I have had a problem with UI freezes, which is different. (The music still plays, sometimes you can hear a mouse click, etc.) Oh well I am really hoping on the next release.

Congrats! Great design, but I have to ask... will it float?! I am guessing not. (oh...it's a SPACE ship... my bad.)

Reply to Lots of "freezing" moments (not just the UI) in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I've had the freezing problem, but it has gotten better, especially since the last beta release. I used to get freezes that reappeared each time I reloaded the same save (last one before the freeze). That doesn't happen anymore. Right now I am running with my antivirus and anti malware real time protection off, auto saves off, but I can't really say they are involved. I have reloaded the game according to the procedure in the s

Reply to Steam Overlay? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Managed to finish an influence game --- it required 95% influence...I guess that should be tweaked! Medium galaxy max opponents, only had a couple more freeze ups. Mine seem to occur when a new prompt shows up in the lower right corner, like "research", and I thien find I can no longer interact with the program. I am running autosaves at 2 turns so its not too much of an issue at this point.</sp

I got it while pressing the next turn button, IIRC.

Reply to Steam Overlay? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Ah, well, no replies and I finally this morning had a UI freeze with the Steam Overlay off. So I guess I will chalk my testing up to coincidences and keep looking for what might be going on. And/or wait for the next update and see what happens.

Reply to Pirating is so easy! in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Just one question. After you got GC2, and spent the time to learn to play it, and actually enjoyed the game (I presume, or you wouldn't have gone through the learning curve) did you then bother to go back and PAY for a legit copy? Unless I missed you didn't mention it. Stealing is stealing.

Steam Overlay? in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Some testing I have done over the past 2-3 days suggests that the Steam Overlay may be related to UI freezes in GalCiv 3. Anyone else see this behavior?

Doh! I now see the instructions for submitting a ticket and the files to include. Just a little more reading was required...

Game Freezes in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I have occasional freezes, in which the game interface simply fails to respond (i.e., ESC doesn't work). I have to ctrl-alt-del out and end task to recover. There don't seem to be any error messages (I do have "collect game data" checked but don't know if that helps). Is there a way to report this usefully? I note that loading an autosave and replaying

Reply to Game crashing on New Game start in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Apparently a very similar thing happened to me. It took me a while to realize that the debug.err file, and the race config files, are in My Documents, which makes sense of course once I figured it out--- brute force searching worked for me. It had crashed originally as I was creating an Altarian character...I found that after cleaning the race config file I needed to restart with a different race, th
