4B Bugs in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've been playing with Beta 4B on my Win98SE AMD K7-600 384 MB PC and have found three problems so far. 1. No initial research screen - GC defaults to 1st research tech. 2. Timing problems on when info is presented in the info net window. Most info is one turn late. 3. Had a lockup when the GNN panel came up on a new turn. There's no SE report, but here's the debug info: Debug Message: ******* Starting Game Shell ******* Debug Message: Going Fullscreen De

New Update on DGM (Beta 4B?) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I just found a new update on DGM. The intro still calls it Beta 4 so I assume this is Beta 4B. :D I haven't seen any offical notice yet from Frogboy (aka Brad).

Unable to get past hard lockup upon loading saved game in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have a saved Beta 4A game that will lockup on the first turn. I can't get past the lockup no matter what I try. Should I send the saved game file in to anyone? :notsure:

Reply to 4AM build in this thread in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm getting a hard lockup consistantly on the first turn from a saved game. Should I send the saved game file in? There is no SE report since this is a lockup, not a crash. This is he 2nd Xmas Eve build.

Beta 4 Bug in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Many of the messages in the Info Net window (lower right) were one turn late. I would get GNN notice of a new ship or improvement and then automatically go to the planet detail screen to select the next thing to buold. After hitting TURN, the Info Net message about the ship or improvement would show. If there was another Info Net message that I could select, then the missing/late message would pop up most of the time.

Major Bug in Beta 3Z1 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

After I click on the "Turn" button, I can hear the music for a newly researched Technology, but there is no panel showing the new Technology. The game then locks up after a click or two. No matter what I tried, the new tech music kept playing (on top of the normal game music) until the game completely locks up. :VOMIT: This is very reproducable and I have the saved game if anyone wants to see it. I've appended the Debug.err file with "ASSERT ERROR" messages at the end. Debug
