Reply to BUG: Latest Patch v0.91.021 Won't Run in Demigod Demigod Forums

LurkerLito, do you see the window at all before it crashes, or does it crash when it switches to the intro movie? If neither, exactly when is it crashing? If it's crashing during the intro movie, make sure that you have the latest sound drivers as Bink can sometimes be picky about sound drivers. You could also try downloading the bink viewer from www.radgametools.com and installing it as sometimes other programs try to associate th

Test build for connection issues in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Watch here and in #demigod on irc.stardock.com for updated test dlls this weekend!

I tweaked the connection code today, and we also got the in game chat overlay running today, although it still needs some work. If you'd like to try it out, follow these instructions: 1) Close Demigod if it's running 2) Download http://sd.stardock.com/impulsereactor/testchat.zip 3) Extract the files and copy them to Demigod\bin. You may have to reboot before replacing the files if they're lock

Try going to My Documents\My Games\PolMachine2008\prefs.ini and set DisplayWidth = 1920 and DisplayHeight =1200 and Fullscreen = 0 and see if that helps.

You might be able to force it by setting DisplayHeight = 600 in the Prefs.ini file, but if your driver can't handle it, it won't size correctly and your mouse clicks will all be in the wrong place.

Change log for 2.02 in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

EDIT: EU users should now be able to download the update for 2.02. All of the tweaks were done by Brad over Thanksgiving weekend, since he can't help but start tweaking stuff while he's playing. :) So you have an additional reason to be thankful this year! + TWEAK: Ethical alignment becomes increasingly a source of tension as the game goes on in terms of diplomatic relations + TWEAK: Altarian AI more sensitive about falling behind in military ha

Any Info is much appreciated! cheers![/quote] Ummmm...I'm not sure if we're handling the Ultimate Edition updates separately or not, but I think that we may be, so I don't know if you'll be able to get the update when we get it up for 2.01. We had to fix some additional errors with

[quote]This is awesome, and a required addition. There's a problem, though. That pop-up, has everything else in the background faded out so you can't see the stats of the planet you're colonizing. This is a problem because we generally base which governor to use on the PQ. When the background is faded, we can't see the PQ.[/quote] Hmm, I didn't notice that, but I have an awesome monitor. I'll have to look into that, but you can modify the alpha transparency of the background of

[quote]Yup .... That's apparently the problem... Gotta turn the Direct Draw off under dxdiag. Now, is it possible to patch this so that we don't have to adjust our computers when we play the game or not? I honestly don't know, but would appreciate a response... shrugs[/quote] Nope, it's driver issue. But I'll let support know so that they can add the fix to the knowledgebase.

We've had some technical issues with getting EU on Impulse, and making the update work, but we think that we've solved those. The update will contain the 2.01 changes. I'm sorry that it's taking so long, but it's just been one of those times where you fix one thing and another problem pops up.

[quote]It is unlikely that games saved before an update will be compatible once the game has been installed I'm afraid. You will likely have to start a new campain once you update.[/quote] If you delete the save games but keep the .campaignsav file, your progress will be saved and you will only have to restart your current mission.

I thought that the Japanese government subsidizes the auto industry, and that's why they can make less expensive cars? As a native Michigander, I'm worried about what the ripple effects will be if any of the Big 3 have to shut down, but I don't think that propping them up is going to help for long.

They asked for updated text for 2.0 but I don't know if they've finished them yet.

[quote]That would be great. As a Win2k user, I'd really love to be able to use Stardock Central to get GalCiv 2.0. I'm not opposed to upgrading my OS and using Impulse ("Elemental" looks like a good reason to do that eventually), it's just that at the moment I'd like to spend my spare time playing a game rather than updating my OS, getting informed about Impulse, and getting everything to work. With Stardock Central, I know that I just have to click three times to update my game. I absolutely
