I just upgraded to an AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 and saw the symptoms described. I downloaded the AMD Dual Core Optimizer from the site Cari cited, and it fixed the problem for me. Thanks, Cari!

I can answer one of these - you move a desktop icon from one VDT to another by dragging it to the new VDT.
The new update is very nice, but I have a question about the virtual desktop configuration. By default, java apps are on the exclusion list, which means that they show up on all virtual desktops. I don't like that behavior, and would like to turn it off, but I assume there's a reason you have it set that way. What kind of problems might I run into if I remove java from the exclusion list? <img src="h

Hey, Roy, does this empire have any rules I wouldn't be able to live with?

If you go to View My Profile to see your characters, and move the mouse over the name of one of your characters, the mouse-over popup says "Click Here For More Information On This Charactor". Aside from the odd capitalization, "Charactor" should be "Character".
In my last game I started with a fleet of small hull ships with 12 hitpoints each. By the end of the game they had levelled up to over 150 hitpoints each.
how do you get higher, like to veteran? You get into the beta program early enough to make a sustained contribution, diligently report bugs with enough information to help the developers, make helpful posts to the forums, and kill 3 Yor a day. <img src="smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle"
Rogerano is correct. In the earlier betas, Frogboy said the AIs used for the minor races are the same as for the majors. In the gamma test now underway they act much differently.
CariElf suggests using [email protected]. I consider that authoratative.
Should bugs be e-mailed to [email protected] or [email protected]? Both are giving me errors! I've used both. I've had a small percentage of my emails bounced from [email protected], nothing bounced (yet) from [email protected].
In case not everyone has found out, the gamma is available for Diplomats and Ambassadors, and Frogboy has asked that gamma bug reports be put in the council forums. If you're looking at these forums on www.galciv2.com, look to the left where you have the Home, Downloads, Purchase, etc buttons, and if you're in the gamma you'll see a "Council" button on the bottom of that list. Use that to get to the council forums.
Jack, if you're in the gamma you should now have 0.90[b].013 available. Check again on the California SDC server. Brad called it Beta7.
Jack, on IRC tonight I was advised to post gamma bug reports on the Council forums. You might get more attention there.
I agree the UI for managing fleets needs work. I've reported similar problems where when you remove one ship from a fleet and move that ship, the fleet remains selected. In fact I've sent in a screen shot where both the fleet and the moved ship show as "selected" (with the dashed blue circle around them). And I've also sent in a saved game exhibiting a problem where a fleet of 1 ship cannot be combined with any other ship to form a larger fleet.</fo
The point I am making is a narrow one - that war by itself does not stimulate the economy. The people hired to produce armaments are employed by the government, whether directly, or indirectly as contractors or subcontractors. The government has to finance this by raising taxes, inflating the currency, or raising debt, none of which is good for the economy. Economics is the science of allocation of scarce resources. The material used to p
I believe from my experience in watching fleet battles that the least powerful armed ship is targeted first, working up to the most powerful, with unarmed ships (like transports) coming last.
US population is 295 million, Russia is 143 million and declining. The US is, in fact, the 3rd most populous country in the world, after China and India. See Link
I reported the not-disappearing Pirate ship in open space earlier and send it a screen shot, and if I recall correctly, a saved game to help Stardock debug it. I haven't seen a Pirate ship on top of a planet, however. Do you have a saved game that will demonstrate the problem? If so, you could send it to [email protected].
If GC2 had multiplayer I would never use it as I never play games online as I prefer to play against AI so I can play a long epic game in my own time and be able to take a 30 minute break if my son starts crying or im hungry My feelings exactly.
Russia has fewer people than the US, your example is poorly chosen. Perhaps you meant to say China.
The assumption that the economy is stimulated by a war arises, I suspect, from the kind of discredited Keynesian thinking that, for example, posits that the government can increase employment and stimulate the economy by hiring people to dig holes in the ground and then fill them in again. The fact of the matter is that war-stimulated economic activity is largely non-productive, with exceptions like enhanced technological innovation. The myth is that
